4. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Monster N-Lite 200 AirLinks earbuds, please refer to the following common solutions:

4.1 Pairing Issues / Earbuds Not Connecting

• Ensure Earbuds are Charged: Low battery can prevent proper connection.
• Restart Bluetooth: Turn off and then turn on Bluetooth on your device.
• Forget Device: On your device's Bluetooth settings, 'forget' or 'unpair' the "Monster N-Lite 200 AirLinks" and then attempt to pair again.
• Reset Earbuds: Place both earbuds in the charging case, close the lid for a few seconds, then open it again. This often resets their connection.
• Proximity: Ensure the earbuds are within the effective range of your device (typically 10 meters/33 feet) and there are no significant obstructions.

4.2 Only One Earbud Working / Unsynced Earbuds

This is a known issue that can sometimes occur. Try the following steps:

1. Place both earbuds back into the charging case.
2. Close the lid of the charging case and wait for at least 10 seconds.
3. Open the lid. The earbuds should automatically re-sync and connect as a pair.
4. If the issue persists, try 'forgetting' the device on your phone and re-pairing from scratch.

4.3 Poor Sound Quality / Low Volume

• Adjust Volume: Ensure the volume on both your device and the earbuds is turned up.
• Check Ear-tip Fit: A poor seal can significantly impact sound quality and bass. Try different ear-tip sizes.
• Clean Earbuds: Wax or debris can block the speaker grilles. Gently clean them as described in the Maintenance section.
• Interference: Move away from other wireless devices or strong electromagnetic fields that might cause interference.

4.4 Earbuds Not Charging

• Check Cable and Power Source: Ensure the USB-C cable is not damaged and the power source is functional.
• Clean Charging Contacts: Ensure the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the case are clean and free of debris.
