Troubleshooting
Cause
• Using the SpeechMike together with
certain USB hubs may cause the
operating system to stop responding
when the computer is started.
• Some computer providers limit the
output power of USB ports to 100 mA.
These ports may not provide enough
power for the SpeechMike to function
properly.
• The wireless connection to the
docking station may be interrupted.
• The USB cable is connected to the
wrong USB port on the docking
station (i.e. USB port for charging
marked with 5V DC).
• Your computer is in sleep mode.
• The battery is empty.
• The battery is very low.
• Pairings may have been reset or the
SpeechMike has been previously
paired with another docking station.
• SpeechMike is not selected as the
default playback device.
Solution
• Unplug the SpeechMike before
starting the PC and reconnect it
afterwards. We recommend replacing
the USB hub or connecting your
SpeechMike directly to the USB port
of the computer.
• Use the supplied power supply unit.
• Connect the SpeechMike via a self-
powered hub.
• Check the wireless connection.
• Move closer to the docking station.
• Start the pairing process as described
in the chapter Pairing.
• Disconnect the USB cable from the
docking station and connect it to the
USB port for PC connection marked
with
on the docking station.
• Wake your computer from sleep
mode.
• Charge the SpeechMike.
• If none of the solutions provided
above solves the problem, reset
the wireless connection. For more
information, see
Resetting the
wireless
connection.

• Start the pairing process as described
in the chapter Pairing.
• If re-pairing doesn't solve the
problem, reset the wireless
connection. For more information, see
Resetting the wireless
connection.

SpeechMike as the default playback
device.
