Overview

The Crave Curve Mini is a compact and portable Bluetooth speaker designed for on-the-go audio. It offers both wireless and wired connectivity options, making it versatile for various devices.

Function Description:

The Crave Curve Mini serves as a personal audio output device, allowing users to play music, podcasts, and other audio content from their smartphones, tablets, or other audio sources. It also features a built-in speakerphone and microphone, enabling hands-free phone calls when connected to a mobile device. The speaker is designed for ease of use with intuitive controls for power, volume, and track selection.

Usage Features:

Powering On/Off:

To turn the speaker on or off, simply press and hold the power button located on the top of the device. The speaker will provide an audible "Power On" tone when activated.

Charging:

Before initial use, the Crave Curve Mini should be fully charged. Connect the provided Micro USB charging cable to the speaker's charging port and plug the other end into a USB charger (not included).

Bluetooth Connectivity:

For wireless audio playback, enable the Bluetooth function on your device (e.g., smartphone, tablet). Hold the power button on the speaker for several seconds to power it on. After the "Power On" tone, you will hear a Bluetooth pairing signal, indicating that the speaker is in pairing mode. The speaker will remain in pairing mode until it is located and selected from your device's Bluetooth list. Look for "CRAVE Curve Mini" in the list of available devices. Once successfully paired, you will hear a "Bluetooth connected" tone.

Wired Connectivity (3.5mm Stereo Cable):

For devices without Bluetooth capability or if you prefer a wired connection, the Crave Curve Mini can be connected using a 3.5mm stereo audio cable (not included). Simply connect one end of the audio cable to the 3.5mm port on the speaker and the other end to the 3.5mm output port of your audio device. Audio will then play through the speaker.

Audio Control:

  • Volume Adjustment: To increase or decrease the volume, press and hold the "+" or "-" buttons located on the top of the speaker.
  • Track Selection: To switch between audio tracks, tap (without holding) the "+" or "-" buttons. Tapping "+" will advance to the next track, while tapping "-" will go back to the previous track.

Optimizing Sound Quality:

For the best audio experience, consider the following:

  • Placement: Place the speaker on a hard, flat surface. This helps with sound resonance and clarity.
  • Orientation: Position the speaker so that it faces the user, allowing for direct sound projection.
  • Range: Keep your audio device within the speaker's operational range to maintain a stable connection and optimal sound.

Phone Calls:

When the Crave Curve Mini is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, you can use its built-in speakerphone and microphone for hands-free calls. To accept or end a phone call, manage the call directly from your connected phone. The speaker will transmit the caller's voice and your voice through its microphone.

Troubleshooting:

Sound Quality Issues:

  • Proximity: Ensure your phone, tablet, or device is in close proximity to the speaker.
  • Obstructions: Remove any visible obstructions between the speaker and your device that might interfere with the signal.
  • Volume Level: Reduce the volume on your device if the sound is distorted or too loud.

Speaker Disconnecting from Phone/Tablet:

  • Move Closer: Bring your device closer to the speaker to improve signal strength.
  • Power Cycle: Turn the speaker off and then on again, and attempt to reconnect.
  • Obstructions: Check for and remove any visible obstructions between the speaker and your device.
  • Interference: Verify there is no signal interference from other electronic devices in the speaker's vicinity.

Unable to Pair the Speaker:

  • Bluetooth Enabled: Confirm that the Bluetooth function is enabled on your device.
  • Battery Level: Check if the speaker has a low battery. If so, plug it into a power source to charge.
  • Paired to Another Device: Ensure the speaker is not already paired to another device. The speaker can only be paired with one Bluetooth-enabled device at a time. Multiple enabled devices nearby can sometimes cause the speaker to pair unintentionally with another device.

Volume Too Low/Too High:

  • Adjust Volume: Adjust the volume levels directly on the speaker using the "+" and "-" buttons, or on your connected device.
  • Wired Connection Check: If using the 3.5mm cable, ensure it is securely connected at both ends.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning:

To clean the Crave Curve Mini, use a dry cloth only. Avoid using wet cloths or liquids, as moisture can damage the internal components.

Safety Precautions (Important for Maintenance and Longevity):

Fire Safety:

  • Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the speaker yourself. Unauthorized repairs can void warranties and pose safety risks.
  • Avoid exposing the speaker to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can damage the battery and internal electronics.
  • Do not charge the speaker in wet or damp environments.
  • Keep the speaker away from open flames or hot surfaces.

Drop/Fall Prevention:

  • Do not leave the speaker unattended on surfaces where vibrations could cause it to move or fall, potentially leading to damage.

Electrical Safety:

  • Do not expose or use the speaker in rain, moisture, high humidity, or near water.
  • Do not disassemble, break open, crush, bend, puncture, shred, microwave, paint, or insert foreign objects into the speaker. These actions can cause severe damage and create safety hazards.

Disposal:

  • Never dispose of the speaker by burning it.
  • Dispose of the speaker and its battery in accordance with local battery disposal regulations to ensure environmental safety.
