    2. Daily Care instructions for Citation speakers fabric (wool)

      Daily care and immediate stain removal will ensure that your Harman/Kardon Citation wool upholstery will keep looking good for many years.
      Never use undiluted cleaning agents, bleaching agents, ammonia or soap intended for hard surfaces, as this may damage the fabric and Citation speaker itself!

      Many types of stain can be removed using warm water with a microfiber cloth (not too wet).

      Stain removal guide

      If you act quickly with any stains on your Citation device then it is not difficult to remove or avoid any spill/stains.
      Here is how to do it.

      1. First, soak up the liquid with an absorbent napkin or Microfiber cloth.
      2. For dried stains use a spoon to roughen the surface.
        1. To avoid the stain spreading further start from the edge of the stain working towards the middle.
      3. WARNING!
        1. Be careful when using solvents, because these could dissolve the upholstery material beneath.

      Regular and normal cleaning

      Vacuum frequently every week is the best way to keep the Harman/Kardon Citation fabric intact or use a varm wet Microfiber cloth.
      When using a vacuum cleaner, remember to set the power to half which is most appropriated to use for Citation devices (this will not harm the design or fabric).

    5. The Checklist

      Let us walk-through a list of things needed to ensure every requirement is met.

      1. Check your mobile device if that is able to connect to same Wireless network.
      2. Make sure you are within range of your Wireless router.
      3. Check the Wireless signal on your mobile device, does it have a weak signal then move closer to the router.
      4. Try both Wireless network bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz in case one of them are failing.
        1. You will have longer range with 2.4GHz, but less performance and most of the times a crowded network (many devices are using 2.4GHz band).
        2. You will have less interference with 5GHz and higher performance, however, the range of the 5GHz network has shorter range.
      5. Try using a different mobile device, if you have one.
      6. Reboot your Wireless network router and your mobile device.
      Watch the video below for help with setting up your Google Assistant device.

      Wireless Network Extender

      Some houses or apartments can be too big for one Wireless network router to cover it all.

      1. Network Extenders that will help cover poor signal in your home, often results in poor connection and low speed performance.
      2. Often the Network Extender is a low budget device or not suited for having too many devices attached to it.
      3. Placement of the speaker is crucial as you can put it in a place where it could connect to either main Wireless router or the Extender, that will confuse Wireless network devices.
      4. To solve this issue, try move the speaker closer to main router or have fewer devices attached to your Wireless Extender.
      5. In addition, always use 5GHz connection between your Network extender and main router (best solution and performance).

      One Wireless Network Name (SSID)

      1. You may have set the Wireless Network SSID (Wi-Fi network name) to one big Wireless network (With a main router + Extender(s).
      2. If the Wireless speaker is within range of both Wireless networks (Main router & Extender) then it can get confused with which one to connect to.
      3. To solve this issue, using two different name for your extended network will help with the performance of the Wireless connected speaker and Google Assistant request.
