4. Select Acoustic Solutions WJ-202.

Other connection options

For a non-Bluetooth source, connect the supplied 3.5mm audio cable to the AUX input and the source device. Keep the speaker within range of the paired device and remove nearby sources of wireless interference if audio drops out.

Do not use the speaker while its charging socket or cable is wet. Keep the product away from excessive heat, moisture, and combustible materials, and do not attempt to open the built-in battery compartment.

Acoustic Solutions WJ-202 Troubleshooting

Speaker will not turn on

Charge the speaker using the supplied cable and a powered USB charger. Check that both connections are secure, then hold the power button for several seconds. If the indicator does not respond, try another compatible USB power source.

Bluetooth pairing fails

Keep the mobile device within approximately one metre during initial pairing. Confirm that Bluetooth is enabled, remove an old WJ-202 entry from the device’s Bluetooth list, and search again. Ensure the speaker is not already connected to another nearby device.

Audio is interrupted

Move the source device closer to the speaker and reduce obstacles between them. Turn off unused nearby Bluetooth devices and check whether the audio source is buffering. For a stable connection, use the AUX input where practical.

No sound through AUX

Make sure the cable is fully inserted into the speaker and source device. Increase the source device’s volume, select the correct output, and confirm that the cable is not damaged. Disconnect Bluetooth equipment if the source device is routing audio elsewhere.

Wireless charging does not start

Place a Qi-compatible phone centrally on the charging surface and remove thick, metallic, or magnetic cases. Wireless charging may pause if the phone or speaker becomes too warm. Charging performance also depends on the connected power supply.

Support and warranty

The available manual identifies a manufacturer’s one-year guarantee for this model. Retain proof of purchase and contact the retailer or manufacturer support service for warranty assistance. Provide the model number, purchase details, symptoms, and steps already attempted. Do not quote an error code unless one is actually displayed or announced by the speaker.
