JBL CHARGE-2 user manual

There could be several reasons why your JBL Charge 2 speaker might not be working. Here are some common issues:
1. Battery Life: The speaker battery may be drained or not holding charge. Connect it to a power source to see if it powers up. If it doesn't, the battery might be dead and need replacing.
2. Bluetooth Connectivity: If the speaker powers up but fails to connect to the device, it might be a Bluetooth connectivity issue. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your device and that the speaker is in pairing mode.
3. Faulty Cables: If your speaker isn't charging, the problem could be with the power cable. Try using a different cable/charger to determine if this is the issue.
4. Software Update: If all the hardware seems to be functioning fine, the problem might be software related. Check for any updates and install them.
5. Audio Settings: If there is no sound coming from the speaker, check the audio settings on your device to see if the volume is turned up and that sound is being directed to the speaker and not another device.
6. Hardware Failure: If none of these potential solutions work, the speaker may have a hardware fault. In this case, you should contact JBL customer support for servicing or replacement.

On the JBL Charge, there are typically several buttons located on the device. Here is a general explanation of the buttons and their functions:
1. Power/Bluetooth Button: This button is used to turn the speaker on or off. Press and hold this button to activate the Bluetooth pairing mode.
2. Volume Up/Down Buttons: These buttons control the speaker's volume level. Pressing the volume up button raises the volume, while pressing the volume down button lowers it.
3. Play/Pause Button: This button is used to play or pause audio playback. If music is playing, pressing this button will pause it, and pressing it again will resume playback.
4. Bluetooth Pairing Button: Some JBL Charge models have a dedicated Bluetooth pairing button. Pressing this button puts the speaker into pairing mode, allowing you to connect your device via Bluetooth.
5. Battery Indicator Button: This button is used to check the remaining battery life on the speaker. Pressing it will activate the LED battery indicator lights, which indicate the current charge level.
Please note that the button layout may vary slightly depending on the specific model of JBL Charge you are referring to. It is recommended to consult the user manual of your particular device for detailed instructions on button functions and usage.

When your JBL Charge 2 is fully charged, the indicator lights on the device will stop blinking and remain solid. It usually takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the speaker. Additionally, some newer models may have an LED battery level display that indicates the charging progress, showing a full battery icon when it is fully charged.
