• What’s wrong with my Philips Bluetooth speaker?
  If you’re having trouble pairing or connecting your Philips Bluetooth speaker to your phone, try the steps below. Check to see that both the speaker and the smartphone are charged. Check to see whether the speaker is already linked to another Bluetooth device.

• Why isn’t my Bluetooth speaker working?
  If your Bluetooth devices won’t pair, it’s probably because they’re out of range or not in pairing mode. Try resetting your devices or having your phone or tablet “forget” the connection if you’re having persistent Bluetooth connection issues.

• What is the procedure for resetting my Philips Bluetooth?
  Turn off your Bluetooth device’s Bluetooth function. Return both earpieces to their charging cases. The white led in both earpieces flashes. Press and hold the function buttons on both earpieces for 4 seconds, or until the white led on the earpieces flashes twice.

• What is the best way to charge my Philips wireless speaker?
  A built-in rechargeable battery powers the speaker. Charge the built-in battery completely before using. The micro USB port is only for charging. Connect the USB connection to a USB port on your computer and the micro USB port on the speaker.

• Why won’t my phone’s speaker pair with it?

• Why isn’t my Bluetooth able to locate other devices?
