I can’t turn the speaker on
It probably has no power. Charge the battery with a USB-C cable. The red light turns on when charging begins. If it doesn’t, try a different cable or charger.
I can’t connect via Bluetooth
1. Make sure Bluetooth is on on your phone.
2. Make sure the phone and speaker are close enough (under 10m indoors).
3. Hold down the M button for 5 seconds to restart pairing.
4. If nothing helps, reset the speaker by holding the play button for a long time and start over.
5. Still stuck? Send us a message at: info@valco.fi
What is 3D Surround?
The unicorn button (button 3) activates a DSP-based soundstage widening effect. It’s not true multichannel surround, but it makes the sound more open. The difference is smaller than you’d expect, but noticeable. In stereo mode (two speakers) 3D Surround is automatically off.
Is the speaker waterproof?
The Nordell MK3 is IPX7-rated, meaning it handles rain, splashes and brief submersion. On a dock or at floor level in a sauna it works great. Don’t take it deep-sea diving or to the top bench in the sauna, though.
Does the speaker support a memory card?
Yes. The Micro SD card slot (under the protective flap, port 8) supports up to 64GB cards. Supported file formats: WAV, FLAC, APE and MP3. Switch the audio source by pressing the M button.
Can I make phone calls with the speaker?
Yes. The speaker has a built-in microphone. When a call comes in, press the play button to answer. The same button ends the call. A long press rejects the call.
How do I get warranty service for the speaker?
Send a message to info@valco.fi and describe the problem. We’ll do our best to help. The warranty is 24 months, and it only voids if you haven’t used the speaker in a year.
