Troubleshooting Tips No Sound Possible cause Solution Power is off Confirm that the Headset is on. The Charge/Pairing Status LED should be illuminated blue. 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. Loose connection In game console use, confirm that Wireless Transmitter is properly seated in the USB port and that the Digital Optical Cable is firmly connected at both ends.
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.
