• Poor Sound Quality (Crackling/Distortion): Check the handset and headset connections. Ensure the network connection is stable and has sufficient bandwidth. If using a Bluetooth headset, ensure it is fully charged and within range.
• Bluetooth Disconnections: Ensure the Bluetooth headset is fully charged and within the recommended operating range of the phone. Re-pair the Bluetooth device if issues persist.
