Decrease the distance between the speaker and your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, try moving the SoundLink USB key to a USB port on the front of the computer (if possible) or use a USB extension cable.

Remove the SoundLink USB key from your computer, wait 30 seconds and insert it again. Disconnect the power supply from the SoundLink speaker, remove the battery from the SoundLink speaker and install it again. Reconnect the power supply.

Try restoring the wireless link between the speaker and the USB key. See "Restoring the wireless link" on page 14.

Try moving the speaker closer to your computer or away from possible sources of interference such as another wireless device, a microwave oven, or wireless computer network router.
