TROUBLESHOOTING BOOMCHAIR™

Q: Why isn’t there sound coming from any of my speakers?
A: Ensure your BoomChair™ is connected as described in the Setup Guide. Check that the power to the unit is on and the volume is
turned up. Also, make sure your audio device is not set to “MUTE” and volume is turned up.

Q: Why isn’t there sound coming from one of my speakers?
A: Ensure the audio cord to the BoomChair™ is securely connected as described in the Setup Guide. Make sure that both the left and

right channel audio inputs and outputs are securely connected to the BoomChair™ and audio device.

Q: Why don’t I feel any vibration?
A: Make sure the vibration control is switched on. The vibration is sensitive to volume and bass because it interacts with the music or
game. Adjust the sensitivity of the vibration or volume according to your desired settings.
