Troubleshooting
Headphones not turning on
Ensure the headphones are charged. Connect them to a power source for at least 15 minutes and try again. Check if the charging cable and power source are working correctly.
Cannot pair with Bluetooth device
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the headphones are in pairing mode (LED flashing). Try turning both devices off and on again. If previously paired, remove 'Philips TAE1209' from your device's Bluetooth list and attempt to pair anew.
Poor audio quality or intermittent connection
Ensure you are within the 10-meter wireless range. Minimize interference from other wireless devices or obstacles. Check if the earbuds are properly seated in your ears for optimal sound and passive noise isolation.
Microphone not working during calls
Confirm that microphone access is granted to the headphones in your device's Bluetooth settings. Ensure the microphone opening is not obstructed.
