Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, try the following solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Neckband does not power on. | Low battery. | Charge the neckband fully. |
| Cannot pair with device. | Neckband not in pairing mode; Bluetooth off on device; device too far. | Ensure neckband is in pairing mode (flashing LED). Turn on Bluetooth on your device. Move device closer to neckband (within 10m). Forget previous pairings on your device and try again. |
| No sound or low sound. | Volume too low; incorrect audio output selected; neckband not connected. | Increase volume on both neckband and connected device. Ensure "DUDAO U5B" is selected as the audio output on your device. Reconnect the neckband. |
| Call quality is poor. | Weak signal; environmental noise. | Move to an area with better signal. The cVc 8.0 Noise Reduction helps, but extreme noise can still affect quality. |
| TF card not playing. | Card not inserted correctly; unsupported file format. | Ensure TF card is fully inserted. Check if music files are in a supported format (e.g., MP3). |
