Troubleshooting and FAQ

Please see the headset’s manual for further information regarding the headset.

I hear crackling noises

• Bluetooth is a radio technology which means it is sensitive to objects between the headset and the connected device.
• It is designed for the headset and the connected device to be used within 33 feet (10 meters) of each other, when there are no major objects in the way (walls, etc.).

I cannot hear anything in the headset

• Increase the volume in the headset and on the music player. Ensure that the headset is paired to a device that is playing. Make sure that music is playing on the audio device.

I have pairing problems

• Ensure that both devices are fully charged and repeat the pairing process.

I need to enable pairing manually

• Ensure that the music adapter is turned off. Press and hold the button until you see a solid blue light. The adapter is now in manual pairing mode.

I skip a track on the headset but nothing is happening

• The music adapter is only transmitting the music to the headset and can’t skip tracks and perform any other actions on your music player.

I have distorted sound in the headset

• The audio level is typically controlled by the music player. For optimal performance the volume on the music player should be set to a maximum of 80% of the maximum output volume.
