7. Troubleshooting

No Sound:

Ensure the headset is powered on and properly connected (2.4G dongle, Bluetooth, or 3.5mm cable). Check the volume levels on both the headset and your device. Verify that the correct audio output device is selected in your system settings.

Microphone Not Working:

Ensure the microphone is securely attached and not muted (check the headset's microphone button). Verify that the correct input device is selected in your system's sound settings. Test the microphone on another device if possible.

Connection Issues (2.4G/Bluetooth):

For 2.4G, ensure the dongle is plugged in and the headset is in 2.4G mode. For Bluetooth, ensure the headset is in pairing mode and visible to your device. Try restarting both the headset and the connecting device. Move closer to the transmitter/device to rule out interference.

Short Battery Life:

Ensure the headset is fully charged. Battery life can vary based on usage (e.g., high volume, continuous microphone use). If battery life significantly degrades, contact support.
