Frequently Asked Questions - APPSP02S Approx

What types of batteries does the speaker use and how do I install them?

The speaker uses 4 AAA batteries. To install, remove the battery compartment cover on the bottom, insert the batteries following the polarity markings (+/-) as shown inside the compartment, then replace the cover.

Can I power the speaker without batteries?

Yes, you can power it using a USB cable connected to a computer or a USB power adapter (not included) via the DC IN port. Alternatively, use an optional AC adapter (6V, 300-800mA) with the correct polarity (+ inside, - outside).

Which iPod models are compatible with the built-in cradle?

The cradle is compatible with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation iPod nano, and 2nd generation iPod shuffle. The cradle uses a 3.5mm stereo connector that plugs into the iPod headphone jack.

How do I connect a non-iPod audio device?

Use the included 3.5mm stereo cable. Connect one end to the Line In jack on the back of the speaker and the other end to the headphone or audio output of your device.

Why is there no sound from the speaker?

Check that the speaker is powered on (if it has a power switch, ensure it is on). Verify the volume is turned up on both the speaker and your audio source. Ensure the cable is fully inserted. If using batteries, confirm they are fresh and installed correctly.

Can I use the speaker while it is charging via USB?

Yes, when connected to USB power, the speaker will operate and also charge batteries if they are rechargeable? Note: The speaker does not recharge batteries; it only powers the device. For continuous use, USB or AC adapter is recommended.

What is the range of the speaker?

This is a wired speaker; it does not have wireless connectivity. The effective range depends on the cable length (included cable is about 60 cm). For longer distances, use a longer 3.5mm audio cable.

The sound is distorted or crackling. What should I do?

Lower the volume on your audio source. Ensure the audio cable is not damaged and is fully plugged in. Try a different audio source. If the problem persists, the speaker may be defective.

How do I clean the speaker?

Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use water, cleaning solvents, or abrasive materials. Avoid getting moisture into the speaker grille or ports.

What should I do if the speaker is not working properly?

First, try replacing the batteries if using battery power. Check all connections. If the issue continues, refer to the user manual or contact Approx customer support. Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself.
