Troubleshooting

Headphones won't power on or are unresponsive.

Ensure the headphones are fully charged. Connect them to a power source for at least 15-30 minutes, then try powering them on again. If still unresponsive, try holding the power button for a longer duration (e.g., 10-15 seconds) for a soft reset.

Cannot pair the headphones with my device.
  1. Ensure the headphones are in pairing mode (LED flashing rapidly).
  2. Confirm Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
  3. Check if the headphones are already connected to another device via the multi-point function. Disconnect if necessary.
  4. Move your device closer to the headphones (within 1 meter).
  5. On your device, 'forget' or 'remove' any previous JVC HA-S36W pairings and try connecting again. Restarting both devices can also help.
Sound is intermittent, distorted, or cuts out.
  1. Reduce the distance between the headphones and your connected device. Bluetooth performance can be affected by obstacles or interference.
  2. Check the battery level of your headphones; low battery can affect stability.
  3. Ensure no other active Bluetooth devices are causing interference.
  4. Try restarting your connected device and re-pairing the headphones.
Microphone is not working during calls.
  1. Verify that the microphone mute function is not active on the headphones.
  2. Ensure the HA-S36W headphones are selected as both the audio output and input device in your call application's settings (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, phone's sound settings).
  3. Check your device's privacy settings to ensure the application has permission to access the microphone.
Battery life is shorter than expected.

Actual battery life can vary based on volume levels, the selected sound mode (e.g., Bass mode might consume slightly more power), and environmental factors. Ensure the headphones are fully charged (3 hours) before each use. Avoid extreme temperatures during operation and charging.
