Note: If you experience issues please make sure no other applications
are interfering with remote functionality
The MEElectronics volume control is a universal volume control that
will work with any device, and volume setting on your remote will
supersede device volume. If you are not hearing any sound, please
check the volume control position.
Volume is maximum when the switch is closest to the + on the
remote.
The microphone is directional and needs to be near your mouth to
operate properly. If your voice is not transmitted loudly and clearly,
adjust the location of the microphone so it is in front of your mouth. At
times, poor voice clarity can be a result of poor call connection quality,
in which case you should hang up and retry your call.

Troubleshooting
Check that the cable is plugged into the headphones
completely and the other end is plugged completely
into an audio source, audio is playing, and the volume
is loud enough to hear
Make sure the volume control is not at the minimum
position; adjust both the volume on the device and
headset cable to a comfortable level
Check that the cable is plugged into the headphones
completely and the other end is plugged completely
into an audio source
If you are using the headset cable with a computer,
laptop, media player, or airplane and the sound
improves when you hold the mic button, the 4-pin
headset plug may not be compatible; see
meelec.com/phone for more details
Check the audio jack of your device for lint and debris
and wipe the plug of the headphone cable firmly with
a cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt or oil

Make sure the microphone/remote unit on the cable
is closest to the headphones and the microphone is
close to your mouth
Check the compatibility of your phone at
meelec.com/phone
Try unplugging the headset cable and plugging it back
in to your phone
If you are using a computer, you may need an
adapter (Skype adapter on meelec.com) to separate
the microphone and audio signals
Make sure the microphone/remote unit on the cable
is closest to the headphones and L-shaped end is
plugged into the phone
Check the audio jack of your device for lint and debris
and wipe the plug of the headphone cable firmly with
a cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt or oil
Check the compatibility of your device at
