Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Headset won't turn on | Ensure the headset is fully charged. Connect it to a power source and try again after a few minutes. |
| Cannot pair headset with phone | Make sure the headset is in pairing mode (flashing red and blue). Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the headset is within range. Try restarting both devices. |
| Poor audio quality or dropped calls | Ensure the headset is within Bluetooth range of your phone (up to 10 meters). Avoid physical obstructions between the headset and phone. Check for interference from other wireless devices. |
