Green -- there is between 50-100% battery charge left b. Yellow -- there is between 10-50% battery charge left c. Red - there is less than 10% charge left (start recharging immediately!) Using the W&H BeHear smartphone app : A battery icon appears at the top of most of the app screens (near the BeHear logo) indicating in % how much charge remains.

Technical

The Bluetooth connection keeps cutting out.

Verify that you are not more than 10 meters (approx. 30 feet) away from the device.
If you are using BeHear headset outdoors, we recommend that you carry your phone on the right side of your body. When indoors, the Bluetooth radio waves can bounce off walls and it doesn’t matter on which side the phone is located. Outdoors the phone needs a direct line of sight with the antenna, which is on the right side of the neck-band.

How do I know my headset is up-to-date?

Updates are sent automatically to the W&H BeHear app. You can verify the availability of an update by checking the “Headset Update” screen through the app’s main menu.
If there is a new version available, follow the on-screen instructions to update the headset.

No sound is coming from the headset.
