6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Philips TAA3609 earphones, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Power: Ensure the earphones are fully charged.
- Cannot Pair: Make sure the earphones are in pairing mode (indicator light flashing) and within range of your device. Turn off and on Bluetooth on your device, or try restarting both devices.
- No Sound: Check the volume levels on both the earphones and your connected device. Ensure the earphones are properly paired.
- Poor Sound Quality/Disconnections: Ensure there are no obstructions between the earphones and your device. Move closer to your device. The Qualcomm chip provides stable transmission, but interference can occur in very crowded environments.
