Troubleshooting Tips No sound Possible cause Solution Power is off Confirm that the Headset is on. The Battery/Pairing Status LED should be illuminated green. NOTE: The Headset must be powered on for use, even when you’re connected via the Mobile Cable . Dead/low battery Confirm that the Headset battery is charged. If the Battery/ Pairing Status LED is glowing red, the Headset needs recharging. See Headset Charging (page 10).
Troubleshooting Tips Voice Chat Drops Most in-game voice chat drops are caused by network congestion or “lag.” They usually subside after a few moments so please be patient. In extreme cases, you may need to leave the game and return to reset the chat function. If you use a wireless internet connection, low signal strength from your modem/router can make the voice chat malfunction. For best results, we recommend a wired connection from your modem/router to your game console.
Important Safety Information To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it. WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so it is important to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort can still damage your hearing.
