Why does my JBL Micro II go into standby after one or two minutes, and how can I make it stay on?If your Micro II does not sense an audio signal on its input, it goes into Standby to save power. It should wake up again when audio is sensed. Since Micro II senses audio on its input, not on the speaker volume, always turn up the volume on the source, then control speaker volume on the Micro II. This way it will not go into Standby unless music stops.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!
