Help with setup

Something not sound right? No sound at all? Microphone not working?

  • Try moving the headset closer to the Nano receiver. The wireless connection status light on the headset turns solid green when the headset is in range (up to 40ft/12 m) with the Nano receiver. See the wireless performance table below for Nano receiver placement tips.
  • When using with the Nano receiver, the Device Selection switch on the headset should be set to the last position.
  • Make sure the headset is the active input/output audio device in both your application and operating system. For more information, see Test the headset.
  • Adjust the volume and microphone settings to an audible level in both your application and operating system.
  • Quit and restart your media application.
  • If you’re using a USB hub (powered or un-powered), try plugging the Nano receiver directly into your computer.
  • try using the headset with another computer.

Headset not charging?

  • Use the provided USB charging cable. Connect the cable to the charging port on the headset, and connect the other end of the cable to a USB port on your computer.
  • If you are using a USB hub, connect the charging cable directly to a USB port on your computer.
  • If the battery status light on the headset is not amber (solid or flashing), the headset is not receiving power from your computer’s USB port. Try another USB port on your computer, and then turn on or wake up your computer to charge the headset.

Music controls not working?

  • Music controls for applications other than iTunes® and Windows Media Player® are not supported.
  • If you use Windows®, you can download an optional software enhancement from www.logitech.com/support to improve music control.
  • Some functions of the headset may not be supported depending on the tablet, smartphone and/or application.

Wireless product not working properly when also using a USB 3.0 device****

When using a USB 2.0 2.4GHz wireless peripheral device (such as a mouse, keyboard, or headphones) with a PC that also has a USB 3.0 peripheral device plugged in, you may experience erratic operation caused by interference. This is especially likely to happen when using USB 3.0 remote hard drives or flash drives.
This interference may result in:
Delayed response to mouse or keyboard inputs
Missing keyboard characters or mouse commands
Decreased operating distance between the USB 2.0 wireless device and its receiver
There are some techniques that can help early adopters of USB 3.0 to mitigate potential problems with their existing 2.4GHz wireless devices:
If your PC has multiple USB 2.0 connectors available, separate your USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 receivers by as much distance as possible. For example, if your PC has a choice of USB 2.0 connectors, use the one on the opposite side of the PC from the USB 3.0 connector.
Position your USB 2.0 receiver as close as possible to your wireless peripheral (mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc.).
Use a standard, USB-extender cable to position your USB 2.0 wireless receiver as far away as possible from your USB 3.0 connector.
A USB-extender cable is available for Logitech customers who are experiencing this problem (click here for more information).
NOTE:
 A USB 3.0 connector sometimes referred to as Super Speed USB or SS, normally has a blue plastic insert in the connector. Unlike a USB 2.0 connector which has 4 pins within the connector, a USB 3.0 connector has 9 pins.

Move your USB 2.0 wireless receiver to the opposite side of your computer:

Make sure your USB 2.0 wireless receiver is in the USB 2.0 connector closest to your wireless peripheral:

Use a USB extended cable to position your wireless receiver as far away from your USB 3.0 peripheral as possible:

H800 headset not connecting to computer using Bluetooth****

If your headset isn’t connecting to your computer using Bluetooth, try the following:
– Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your computer (see your computer’s documentation for more help).
– You might be out of range, try moving the headset closer to your computer.
– Check to see that your headset is paired and connected to your computer in the Bluetooth devices menu (see your computer’s documentation for more help).
– If you continue to experience a problem connecting, try using the supplied wireless receiver to connect, instead of your computer’s built-in Bluetooth radio.

Microphone not working on the H800 headset****

If you’re having issues with the microphone on your headset, try the following:
– Check that the microphone isn’t set to mute either on the headset or in the application where you’re using it.
– Make sure you have the H800 headset selected as the audio input/recording device (see your computer or device’s documentation for help).
– Ensure the application you’re using is configured to use the headset as its audio input/recording device (see the application’s documentation for help).
– Make sure the receiver is connected to a USB port that isn’t behind any large objects (ex. a desk or desktop PC).
– Connect the headset to a USB port with the charging cable — it may not have enough battery power.

H800 headset not powering on****

If your headset won’t power on, try the following suggestions:
– Connect the headset to a USB port using the charging cable — it may not have enough battery power.
– Check that the switch is set to the “on” position.
NOTE:
 When the headset is charging and not in use, always set the switch to the “off” position to conserve battery power.

Distorted audio on the H800 headset****

If you’re having audio issues with your headset, try the following suggestions:
– Move the headset closer to your audio source — it might be out of range.
– Move away from other sources of wireless signal — you could be experiencing interference.
– Connect the headset to a USB port using the charging cable — it may not have enough battery power.
– Try adjusting the volume on your audio source — it might be turned up too high.

If you’re using the wireless receiver:
– Make sure it’s connected to a USB port that isn’t behind any large objects (ex. a desk or desktop PC).
– Make sure it isn’t connected near other wireless receivers that could be causing interference.

If you’re using Bluetooth, try disabling other Bluetooth devices temporarily.

See answer 360023242194 for help with pairing Bluetooth devices with your headset.
NOTE:
 When switching from one device to another, make sure you disconnect from the last device before connecting to the next one (see your Bluetooth device’s documentation for help).

No audio from the H800 headset when connected to a Bluetooth device****

If you’re not hearing audio from the headset on a Bluetooth device, try the following:
