If your Lightspeed Audio System is not working, please try the following before putting in a Help Desk ticket.

• Was your battery charged? 
  Make sure that the charging cradle has a cable connecting the DC Power outlet and the wall.  The cable includes a Lightspeed Switching Adapter power supply on one end.
• When you click the on/off button, do you get a blue blinking light?
  If you have charged your batter but do not get the blue blinking light, your battery may need replacing.  Put in a help desk ticket to have the battery replaced.
• If the light next to your power button on your Lightspeed Media Connector is not blue, you may need to pair your media connector and Microphone.
