Troubleshooting Guide
If you encounter any issues while using the RockCube then please check the following before
contacting the retailer or manufacturer for further help:
No Power
• The power is not on; press the RockCube ON/OFF button briefly to turn power on.
• The RockCube could be completely out of charge. Recharge the RockCube from a USB
power supply and try again.
The RockCube Switches O Unexpectedly
• The RockCube has a power save auto-off function that will activate a ter 10 minutes of
inactivity (no music playing); this is not a fault.
No Lightshow E ect
• The Lightshow is probably just switched off. Move the Lightshow switch to the ON or BEAT
position.
No Sound - General
• Make sure that you are not trying to use Bluetooth® while the AUX in cable is connected.
• If using an external device raise the volume.

14
No sound rom the microphone
• Make sure the microphone is firmly connected to the MIC socket.
• Make sure the ON/OFF switch on the microphone is set to the ON position.
• Make sure the MIC Volume control setting is not set too low.
• The Master Volume Knob could be set to minimum; raise the volume.
Bluetooth® device pairing problems
(Mobile phone or Tablet etc.) cannot be paired or connected with the RockCube
• You may not have not activated the Bluetooth function of your mobile device; refer to
the Bluetooth® device user guide.
• The RockCube is not in pairing mode; switch the RockCube off and then on to restart pairing.
• Another Bluetooth® device may be connected; disconnect that device before trying to connect
a new Bluetooth® device.
Other Bluetooth® problems
The music does not play on the RockCube after successfully connecting with Bluetooth®
• Ensure your Bluetooth® device can support the A2DP Bluetooth® profile.
• The volume on the external Bluetooth® device is set to low or muted; raise the volume of the
Bluetooth® device as required.
• The Bluetooth® audio breaks up. Move the Bluetooth® device closer to the RockCube or
switch off the ‘Wi-Fi’ on the Bluetooth® device as that can sometimes improve the audio
playback quality.
