Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TCOM-SC unit, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Sound or Sound from Only One Speaker:
Ensure the speaker port is securely plugged in. If the issue persists, the speakers may be faulty. Contact customer support for replacement speakers. For optimal sound, ensure speakers are positioned directly over your ears inside the helmet.
