if it supports A2DP stereo audio transmission. If yes, please ensure
you turn on the A2DP stereo mode.
• Ensure the speaker is connected to the correct smartphone or

it may interfere with the connection and will be harder to detect.
Please turn off any other devices to ensure easy detection of your
