Buttons on product do not work or work intermittently
If you push the buttons on your product but they do not respond or do not control you product as expected, try the following:
Be sure the headset is paired to the phone.
When paired, the Bluetooth indicator light flashes each time the power indicator light flashes. If it does not, see Connecting a Bluetooth device.
Be sure your product is within 33 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device.
This range can be reduced by obstacles (e.g. walls, doors, appliances, wireless devices, etc.). Try moving the device and product closer together.
Check the functionality of the Multi-function button.
Depending how you're using with your product, the Multi-function button responds differently. For more info, see Controlling playback.
Reset your product.
Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more info, see Resetting your product.
Remove your product from the memory of the Bluetooth device, then try again.
In the Bluetooth settings of the Bluetooth device, find the list of previously connected products. Remove your product from the list, then reconnect it to the device. For more information, see Connecting a Bluetooth device.
Try connecting a different audio device.
If available, connect another audio device using the same cables and connections to determine if the issue is related to the first device or its settings.
Try a different app.
If the issue only occurs with a particular app, it is likely related to the app or app settings.
Not all functions in all applications are supported.
The Volume and Answer/End buttons were designed specifically to work with iPhone and core Apple applications. Third party applications and non-Apple products may have no or limited functionality.
Determine if the mobile device is running Android 8 or later
Android 8 and later has removed the function of pressing and holding to fast forward or rewinding through tracks. Skipping forward and back should still work, but scanning through tracks is no longer available.
Be sure the buttons on your product are not stuck.
When you push a button on your product, you should feel it depress. When you release the button, it should snap back to its original position. If it does not, it may be stuck. Check for and clean any debris around the button.
