Most	return	policies	only	allow	for	a	defective	product	to	be	returned	within	14	–	30	days	after	the	date	of	purchase…	and	most	issues	that	happen	due	to	defects	in	material	and	workmanship	 have	 a	 knack	 of	 happening	 after	 this	 return	 period	 has	 ended.	 	 We	have	seen	the	sad-puppy	look	on	customers’	faces	for	too	long	and	understand	how	upsetting	it	 is	 to	 spend	 your	 hard-earned	 dollars	 on	 something	 that	 stops	 working	 after	 a	 few	weeks!

When	 turned	 on,	 you	 will	hear	the	 speaker	 emit	 a	 chime	 indicating	 that	 it	 has	turned	 on.		Once	 turned	 on	 for	 the	 first	 time,	 the	 speaker	 will	emit	 a	 second	chime	and	automatically	enter	pairing	mode.	If	 you	 have	 already	 paired	 the	 speaker	 to	 a	 device	 before,	 the	 speaker	 will	automatically	detect	and	pair	with	the	last	device	it	was	paired	with	(as	long	as	that	device	has	its	Bluetooth	turned	on	and	is	within	range).		If	the	latest	paired	device	is	not	within	range,	the	speaker	will	automatically	enter	pairing	mode	again.

You	 can	 simply	 connect	your	 smartphone	 or	 any	 other	 USB	 powered	 device	 to	 the	 charger	 to	 see	 if	 the	charger	starts	charging	your	smartphone.	 	 If	your	smartphone	is	also	not	charging,	then	you	have	a	broken	charger	in	your	hand.	l Charging	 cables	 are	 very	 easily	 damaged,	 and	 sometimes	 they	 stop	 functioning	and/or	are	defective.

If	 the	 included	 cable	 does	 not	charge	 your	 other	 devices,	 you	 have	 a	 broken	 cable	 on	 your	 hand.	 	 Contact	Alpatronix	Customer	Service	for	a	replacement	cable.	u Alternatively,	 you	 can	 connect	 a	 different	 cable	 that	 you	 know	works	 (ie.	 The	charging	 cable	 for	 your	Samsung	 Galaxy,	digital	 camera,	 or	 any	 other	 device	using	a	micro	USB)	to	the	speaker.	 	 Make	sure	this	cable	does	in	fact	work	by	first	trying	it	on	your	smartphone	and/or	digital	camera,	then	connect	it	to	the	speaker.	 	 If	 the	 LED	 light	 turns	 on	 with	 the	 new	 cable,	 then	 the	 included	micro	 USB	 has	 stopped	 working.	 	 Call	 customer	 service	 for	 a	 replacement	cable.
