What should I do if I am experiencing echo or static on my Bluetooth accessory?
Is this also happening while using the phone without the accessory?
If Yes: This may be a phone issue, we recommend trying the accessory on a different phone, or taking your phone to a local service center for evaluation.
If No,
- Is the headset fully charged?
- Low battery may impact the sound quality of the headset.
Find out when the consumer last charged their headset, and ask how often they have used the headset since they last charged it.
Ask the customer if they are using a vehicle or wall charger. If using a vehicle charger, advise the consumer to charge the headset with a wall charger (not vehicle charger). This will provide an optimal charge.
- Charge the headset for approximately 1.5 – 2 hours and see if this makes a difference.

- How are you wearing the headset?

- If the headset comes with different ear hooks, try a different size ear hook to see if this is a better fit.

- Have you tried the headset with another phone?
- Is there another Bluetooth phone you can try, often this will help determine if it is a “phone” or “headset” issue.
