Troubleshooting
No power to the device
Ensure the device is securely plugged into the car's power outlet. Check if the car's power outlet is functional by testing it with another device. Verify the fuse within the device is intact and properly seated.
Bluetooth pairing fails
Turn off Bluetooth on your phone and then turn it back on. Restart the Aquarius device and your phone. Ensure no other devices are actively connected to the Aquarius kit. Try deleting the 'AC4601C' from your phone's known Bluetooth devices and re-pair.
Poor audio quality or static during playback
Find a new, clear FM frequency on your car radio that has no other stations broadcasting. Adjust the FM transmitter frequency on the Aquarius device to match this new frequency. Ensure the device is positioned away from potential sources of electronic interference.
USB drive or SD card not recognized
Ensure the USB drive or SD card is formatted as FAT32. Confirm that the capacity does not exceed 32GB. Try a different USB drive or SD card to rule out a device issue.
Calls are not clear or loud enough
