- Feel free to leave it permanently attached to a USB-C charger or take it on the go. It's meant to be mobile or stationary.
- If you have issues with the cube rebooting or functioning improperly this is almost always due to a “noisy” USB charger or a bad cable. Try another cable and USB charger and please read the troubleshooting section if you continue to have issues.

Troubleshooting:
-
The coin didn’t return!
- If a coin gets stuck inside simply shake or tilt the cube and it will come right out.
-
What coins are acceptable?
- The included token or a US quarter work best. Smaller coins also usually work. Don’t force a large coin in. Don’t put sticky or dirty coins in.
-
My cube is illuminated but has no sound.
- Do you have it set on mute? Press the volume button on the back of the cube multiple times until the volume level is acceptable. Then try again.
-
My cube won’t turn on!
- Briefly press the main insert coin button.
- Now try pressing the buttons on the back side of the cube for brightness and volume. The cube isn't off but is simply set on light off mode or volume mute mode.
-
My cube makes sound but is not illuminated.
- Do you have it set on “lights off” mode? Try pressing the brightness button on the back of the cube until the brightness is acceptable.
-
My cube acts weird, malfunctions, reboots, or makes improper sounds when it is charging.
- Does the cube work properly when it is charged and running on battery power? This is a dead giveaway that you have a “noisy” charger or bad charging cable.
- Unfortunately some chargers and cables do not supply clean power and may cause the cube to reboot or function improperly. It is recommended to try a different charger and use the included cable if the device appears to reboot or have any other malfunctions. It is recommended to use a high quality USB charger with a rating of 5W or more.
-
My cube has a sticky button.
- Try gently tapping on the button or the cube itself to free the button. It is quite durable. If the problem persists please send us an email and we will resolve your issue.
-
My cube won't charge or appears to be totally dead.
- Verify that the red light near the charging port illuminates when you plug in the charging cable.
