My headphones will not connect to the
device
If your headphones were previously connected to your
smartphone using Bluetooth technology, they may connect to
your smartphone before connecting to your device. You can try
these tips.
• Turn off Bluetooth technology on your smartphone.
Refer to the owner's manual for your smartphone for more
information.
• Stay 10 m (33 ft.) away from your smartphone while
connecting headphones to your device.
• Pair your headphones with your device (Connecting
Bluetooth Headphones, page 4).
My music cuts out or my headphones do not
stay connected
When using a Venu Sq Music device connected to headphones
using Bluetooth technology, the signal is strongest when there is
a direct line of sight between the device and the antenna on the
headphones.
• If the signal passes through your body, you may experience
signal loss or your headphones may become disconnected.
• It is recommended to wear your headphones with the
antenna on the same side of your body as your Venu Sq
Music device.
• Since headphones vary by model, you can try moving the
watch to your other wrist.
