Using the Singing Machine Mini Sparkle Bluetooth Karaoke Speaker is a piece of cake. First, turn on the speaker and pair it with your Bluetooth device, like your phone or tablet. Then, pick your favorite karaoke song and start singing. You can play around with the six voice - changing effects to make your performance more interesting. Use the lead vocal - off feature if you want to hear your voice clearly. Record your singing and play it back later to see how you did. The light show will automatically sync with the music, so just enjoy the atmosphere. When using the two wireless microphones, make sure they are within range of the speaker. As for maintenance, keep the speaker and microphones clean with a soft, dry cloth. Don't expose them to extreme heat, cold, or moisture. If the speaker isn't working, check the battery or power connection. Have a great time singing!
