|---|---|
| Earbuds not pairing with each other | Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, then open it again. This will reset their connection. Re-attempt pairing with your device. |
| Earbuds not connecting to device | Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Go to your device's Bluetooth settings, "forget" or "unpair" "Havit I96", then re-attempt the initial pairing process. Ensure earbuds are charged. |
| No sound from one earbud | Ensure both earbuds are charged. Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, and then open it again to force a re-sync. Check if the earbud is properly seated in your ear. |
| Charging case not charging | Verify that the USB charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Try a different USB cable or power adapter. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris. |
