Troubleshooting
Saber is charged but not turning on/boot audio isn’t playing
Make sure the micro SD card beneath the speaker is seated correctly. The SD card should click down and feel secured when it is in correctly.
Saber is shutting down on clash or blaster deflect
These issues are generally a response to the battery being low but having enough power to still power on. Simply recharge the saber, and this should resolve these issues.
