Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Belkin SoundForm Surround Headphones, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the earcups and headband. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store the headphones in a cool, dry place. Utilize their foldable design to store them compactly and protect them from damage.
• Avoid Moisture: While the headphones are water-resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme humidity.
• Cable Care: Handle the charging and audio cables gently to prevent fraying or damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your headphones, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the headphones are fully charged. Connect them to a power source using the USB-C cable.
• Cannot Pair via Bluetooth: Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode (flashing blue and red LED). Turn off and on your device's Bluetooth, then try reconnecting. Ensure the headphones are not already connected to another device.
• No Sound: Check the volume levels on both the headphones and your connected device. Ensure the correct audio output is selected on your device. If using a wired connection, ensure the 3.5mm cable is securely plugged in.
• Poor Call Quality: Ensure the microphone is not obstructed. If using ENC, verify it is activated. Move closer to your connected device to improve signal strength.
• Intermittent Connection: Ensure there are no obstacles between the headphones and your device. Avoid exceeding the 33-foot Bluetooth range.

If the issue persists, try resetting the headphones (refer to the quick start guide for specific reset instructions) or contact Belkin customer support.
