Troubleshooting & FAQ

Issue:

|

Possible Causes:

---|---
Can I connect more than one device to my headphones?| Yes, your headphones can be simultaneously connected to more than one device. To add new connections after connecting to the first device, turn off the headphones,  then press and hold the MFB. The headphones will enter pairing mode.  Follow the steps for your unique device (smartphone, laptop,  tablet) to connect to the headphones.
I am confident batteries are fully charged, yet they do not seem to work.| In the rare event that your headphones “lock up,”  it can be “rebooted” by simply plugging in a micro-USB cable into the charging port of your ClearDryve®. The other end of the cable should be plugged into a USB power source. ClearDryve® will turn off and start charging. Let it charge for around  15 minutes, unplug and turn it on to resume operation.
