Troubleshooting

If the sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source or musical instrument. Also, try to reduce the overall volume of Party Rocker Effects.
If there is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level. This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs.
If there is a high-pitched whistling noise when using microphones: This is probably feedback. Point the microphone away from the speaker.
If you can’t hear the microphone over the music volume: Turn down the music volume from your source.
If you can’t play music from a flash drive: The USB port is only for charging USB devices.

If you cannot connect your audio device to Party Rocker Effects via Bluetooth:

Have your audio device (e.g., smartphone or tablet) and Party Rocker Effects as close together as possible while trying to connect. Make sure both the audio device and Party Rocker Effects are unobstructed by walls, furniture, etc.
Reset the Bluetooth connection on Party Rocker Effects to disconnect Party Rocker Effects from any other audio device and restart the search process. If this does not work right away, power off Party Rocker Effects and then power it back on. See Connecting with a Bluetooth Device for more information.
Reset the Bluetooth connection on your audio device by turning Bluetooth off and back on. You can find this under the Bluetooth menu in the Settings for your phone or other audio device.
If this does not work, and you have connected to Party Rocker Effects before, find Party Rocker Effects in the list of available or previously connected devices in your audio device’s Bluetooth menu, tap the “gear” or “i” icon located next to it and then select Unpair or Forget. Turn Party Rocker Effects off and back on and try pairing again once it reappears in your available devices list.
