TROUBLESHOOTING T R OUBLE SH O OT ING Problem Solution My speaker does not turn on Make sure that the speaker is plugged in to a live AC power outlet, and if the outlet is switchcontrolled make sure the switch is on. My speaker does not appear in the Controller app Make sure the speaker is connected to your Wi-Fi network and within Wi-Fi range. Also make sure your phone or tablet and your speaker are connected to the same network.
Solution Do you have a guide for best placement of speakers in a house? Every house or apartment are different, and will be hard to provide a guide that suits all. What you can do, is to perform a WiFi network scan on your mobile device, to check how many Access points there are nearby your house. Then make sure that you select a Wi-Fi channel that are less busy then others. Second thing, you can use our HK Controller application to see how much noise each speakers has in your house.
