When this guide applies

An idle-time shutdown or absent automatic Bluetooth wake-up, not active-playback power failure.

Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Power-on or automatic standby isn’t working.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

Checks and possible outcomes

Start at step-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

step-0

Does the symptom follow inactivity rather than active playback?

A shut-down during sound or abnormal heat needs separate support.

Look for: Confirm the stated prerequisite or observation; unknown is not a fault diagnosis.

step-1

Open Speaker Preferences in KEF Connect

Inspect Power Saver > Standby Mode for the correct pair.

Look for: Perform only the stated check, then confirm whether it could be completed.

step-2

Is the configured idle period consistent with the observation?

ECO20/30/60-minute periods or never have different behaviour. Read the actual current setting; do not change it blindly.

Look for: Confirm the stated prerequisite or observation; unknown is not a fault diagnosis.

step-3

Is Second Wake-Up Source available for this setting?

ECO hides this option. This explains missing automatic Bluetooth wake-up without promising that a different power mode fixes a fault; changing it may increase standby consumption.

Look for: Confirm the stated prerequisite or observation; unknown is not a fault diagnosis.

Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

    Possible result

    Keep the observation for manufacturer support

    These steps did not establish a working setup. Keep the exact model, source, software and last observed response for support. No hardware or firmware defect is diagnosed.

    next support

    Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.

      Possible result

      A required observation is unknown

      Confirm the exact model and linked instructions before continuing. Do not guess the state of a control, connection or update.

      insufficient data

      Reaching this result does not mean the issue is solved. Only your own feedback can report improvement.
