NOTE To wirelessly stream stereo music or audio from a device to your headphones, your Bluetooth  
device must support the Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) profile. To control music  
playback with your headphones, your Bluetooth device must also support the Audio/Video Remote  
Control Profile (AVRCP). The Bluetooth adaptor does not support the AVRCP profile, so you must use  
the controls on your device to control music playback.

Range  
Bluetooth wireless technology provides a way for devices to communicate with each other using short-  
range radio frequency instead of wires. Any two Bluetooth devices can communicate as long as they both  
have Bluetooth turned on, they are within range, and they have been paired.  
To maintain a connection, keep your headphones within 33 feet (10 meters) of your Bluetooth phone  
or adaptor. Ensure that your mobile phone is located on the left side of your body and that there are no  
obstructions between it and your headphones. If there are obstacles between your headphones and the  
phone or adaptor you may experience interference.  
Audio quality degrades as you move out of range. When you are far enough away to lose the connection,  
you hear a high tone in the headphones.  
The headphones attempt to reconnect for 30 seconds. If reconnection is successful, a low tone will be  
heard. If you move back in range after 30 seconds have passed, you can manually reconnect by pressing  
the call control button.  
14  
 
Troubleshooting  
My mobile phone did not  
locate the headphones.  
Power off your mobile phone and headphones, then power on your  
phone. Repeat the pairing process on page 5.  
Audio quality is poor.  
Make sure that the headphones fit your ears properly. See page 7.  
Ensure that your mobile phone is located on the left side of your body  
and that there are no obstructions between it and your headphones.  
Make sure that your headphones are within 33 feet (10 meters) of your  
mobile phone. Going outside of this range can impact audio quality. If  
your headphones do not automatically reconnect, see page 12.  
I cannot hear stereo music  
from my phone.  
For stereo listening, your Bluetooth phone must support the Bluetooth  
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), which defines how  
Bluetooth devices stream stereo quality audio from one device to  
another. See your phones user manual to determine if it has this  
Bluetooth profile.  
I cannot control my music  
tracks.  
The adaptor and some stereo Bluetooth phones do not support the  
AVRCP profile for track controls. Use your audio device to change  
tracks.

Troubleshooting  
Callers cannot hear me.  
Mute may be turned on. See page 9.  
Your headphones are out of Bluetooth range (33 feet/10 meters). Move  
closer to the Bluetooth device. If your headphones do not automatically  
reconnect, see page 5.  
Be sure your headphones are paired with the audio device. See page 5.

my audio source.  
My earbuds need to be  
cleaned.  
Remove the earbuds from the headphones. Wash the earbuds  
with warm soapy water, and rinse thoroughly. When the earbud are  
completely dry, reattach them to your headphones. See page 7.  
None of the above issues  
are the problem, or my  
headphones still don’t work.  
Perform a system reset: While plugging in the AC charger, hold the  
power/pair button. The headphones will show a solid red or blue light  
when they have been successfully reset.
