Before you start

Update the headphones' software to the latest version. Doing so may resolve the issue. Perform the update before proceeding.

Solution

1. Check if the charging indicator flashes when you set the headphones in the charging case.
   

   The indicator turns off immediately after flashing

   The remaining battery charge of the charging case is low. Go to step 4.

   The indicator flashes

   Only charge the headphones at a temperature between 5 °C and 35 °C (41 ºF to 95 ºF). If you exceed the charging temperature range when you charge the headphones, the headphones will detect the abnormality and the indicator lights will flash. When you notice that the charging case is either too cold or too hot, leave it at room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours. If after returning to the normal charging temperature range the issue is not still resolved, service may be required.

   The indicator does not flash, but it lights up or turns off
