Software Updates
If a software update is available (indicated by a notification from the headset), ensure both the headset and the power adapter remain connected to the dock.
Troubleshooting Update Failures
If an update fails (indicated by dock status lights):
- Press the reset button located under the base (above the [power icon]) using a dull, pointed object.
- While holding the reset button, reinsert the power adapter cable into the dock's USB-C port.
