Troubleshooting
If you are having a problem or need help with the operation of the earphones when receiving or talking on a phone call refer to the below drop down list of questions.
The audio cuts in / out, there is poor sound quality, and there is interferences.

- Confirm that there are no obstacles (such as walls, doors, etc.) between your earbuds and paired device. Such obstacles can decrease the operating distance.
- Turn off any other Bluetooth®Registered devices (which have been previously connected to your earbuds) that are not in use.

- If the above does not work - remove the earbuds from the Bluetooth®Registered device's settings and pair it once again.
