Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a USB power source and check if the charging indicator lights up. Try a different USB cable or power adapter.

No audio or poor sound quality

Verify the PHONUM is selected as the default audio device in your operating system and conferencing application. Check that the microphone is not muted. Ensure Bluetooth is connected properly or try using the USB connection for a stable link.

Bluetooth connection fails or drops

Turn off Bluetooth on your device and the PHONUM, then turn them back on. Ensure the PHONUM is within the 10-meter Bluetooth range. Remove 'PHONUM' from your device's paired Bluetooth list and re-pair it.

Microphone not picking up voice clearly

Confirm you are within optimal speaking range (typically 1-2 meters). Ensure the correct microphone mode (Fix, Follow, 360°) is selected for your setup. Check for any obstructions around the microphone grille.
