Connectivity Troubleshooting for Marvel CI

First, try restarting your Marvel CI sound processor. Next, try restarting your smartphone. 

Additionally, you can change the bandwidth setting in the AB Remote mobile app. Fixed and adaptive bandwidth settings are available.

If Marvel CI is powered off, it will automatically disconnect from a paired device like a mobile phone.

  • Verify that Marvel CI did not run out of battery.
  • Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
  • Make sure the phone is within range. If you were out of range (10 m / 30 ft) for a more extended period, it might take up to two minutes for Marvel CI to connect again.
  • Ensure you have no other devices connected to your phone (such as the car’s Bluetooth system). This may cause Marvel CI to disconnect.

  • If your car is equipped with a Bluetooth system previously paired to your mobile phone, it will try to connect your phone every time you enter the car. This may result in a connection loss to Marvel CI, as a phone can only support one headset connection simultaneously.


    The exact behavior depends on the version and configuration of your car’s Bluetooth system. Consider removing your car’s Bluetooth system from your phone’s list of paired devices via the mobile phone configuration screen to prevent unwanted switching.

    1. Ensure that your Bluetooth is on and Marvel CI is on.
    2. When you open the app, you will see status indicators for each device, indicating if your Marvel CI is currently connecting, connected, or has failed.
    3. If the app cannot connect, close the app completely, restart your smartphone, and restart the app.
    4. If a restart of the app does not work, remove it and reinstall it.
