5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power/Cannot turn on | Low battery; Power button not pressed correctly. | Charge the headphones fully. Press and hold the power button for 3-5 seconds until the LED indicator lights up. |
| Cannot pair with device | Bluetooth not enabled; Headphones not in pairing mode; Device too far. | Ensure Bluetooth is on. Turn off and on headphones to enter pairing mode. Keep device within 10 meters. |
| Sound leakage | Volume too high. | Reduce the volume. Bone conduction headphones are designed to allow ambient sound, but excessive volume can cause minor sound leakage. |
| Uncomfortable after long wear | Improper fit or size. | Adjust the fit. Ensure the transducers rest comfortably on your cheekbones. Consider if a different size (e.g., mini) might be more suitable for your head shape. |
| Poor call quality | Environmental noise; Microphone obstruction. | Move to a quieter environment. Ensure the microphone is not covered. The dual-mic noise cancellation helps, but extreme noise can still affect quality. |
