MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Q: Why isn’t there sound coming from any of my speakers?
A: Ensure your BoomChair™ Helix is connected as described in the Setup Guide. Check that the power to the unit is on and the volume
is turned up. Also, make sure your audio device is not set to “MUTE” and volume is turned up.
Q: Why isn’t there sound coming from one of the speakers?
A: Ensure the audio cord to the BoomChair™ Helix is securely connected as described in the Setup Guide.
Make sure that both the left and right channel audio inputs and outputs are securely connected to the BoomChair™ Helix and audio
device.
