My music cuts out or my headphones do not
stay connected
When using a fēnix device connected to headphones using
Bluetooth technology, the signal is strongest when there is a
direct line of sight between the device and the antenna on the
headphones.
• If the signal passes through your body, you may experience
signal loss or your headphones may become disconnected.
• It is recommended to wear your headphones with the
antenna on the same side of your body as your fēnix device.
