TROUBLESHOOTING FOR ABT35-USB
Problem
My ABT35-USB headset does not work
with the softphone I am using on my
PC. (I cannot answer or disconnect
from the headset call button).
I've plugged in the USB Bluetooth
adapter but my headset does not respond
to button presses.
I've installed PerSonoCall and the USB
Bluetooth adapter but the system tray icon
shows a red X (denoting no connection).
I cannot hear caller.
Callers cannot hear me.

Problem
Sound in headset is distorted.
I can hear echo in headset.
The other headset I was using to listen
to music does not work any more.
My headset stops responding
to button presses.
Battery talk time or standby time is
significantly degraded even after a
full charge.
I hear beeps in the headset.

the distortion disappears.
• If the distortion is still present, lower the listen
volume control on the computer.
• Adjust volume on headset. See page 14.

headset to the charging stand for one to three
hours until indicator light turns blue.
