Observation Potential Cause/Solution
No power/function	Check that the power is switched on at the wall. Check whether the power cable is properly connected to the power outlet.
No sound	Check whether the unit is set to MUTE. Check whether your desired mode is correctly selected. Check if cables are properly inserted. Check your device's audio settings- ensure these are set to PCM.(applicable when connected to TV or PC/laptop)
No sound when using Bluetooth connection	Check the connection, ensure that the Bowfell is in the correct mode and is paired with the device you would like to play audio from. Increase the volume on the soundbar and on your device. Check whether external device requires password "0000".
Function disturbance	Switch off and unplug the soundbar. Leave the Bowfell for 2 minutes and switch on the unit again. If a particular mode is causing problems, please try an alternative connection such as Optical, AUX or Bluetooth.
Remote control function issues	Check whether the battery needs replacing. Replace if necessary. Check whether there are obstacles blocking the remote sensor.
Hissing/ Static/ Humming Noise	Check and ensure the audio setting of the input source (e.g. TV, PC, games console, DVD player, etc.) is set to PCM. Try a different cable or different type of connection. Ensure there are no crossed over cables which can cause humming interference noise.
