Bluetooth disconnects from paired device
If the Bluetooth connection between your system and a connected device (e.g. laptop, smartphone, or Bose app) is intermittent or is lost unexpectedly, try the following:
Press the Bluetooth® button to reconnect to the phone
On the control module, make sure the audio mode selector is in the MUTE or MIX position, and the Bluetooth indicator is flashing blue. If not is not flashing blue, press the Bluetooth button once.
Check the status of the power LED.
If the power LED is red, the batteries in the control module are low. When the power LED is flashing red, Bluetooth® functionality is disabled to conserve battery power.
Be sure your product is within 33 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device.
This range can be reduced by obstacles (e.g. walls, doors, appliances, wireless devices, etc.). Try moving the device and product closer together.
Determine the distance from the phone where the issue occurs
Bluetooth® has a range of about 33 feet (10 m), which can be reduced by interference from nearby RF-emitting devices. If range is dramatically reduced, try using the two devices together in another environment or pair the headset to a different Bluetooth phone to determine if the environment or phone is the issue.
Reboot the Bluetooth® device.
Electronics, such as cell phones, tablets or computers, might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. This is typically done by turning the device off, then powering it on again.
Clear the memory in your product of previously connected Bluetooth® devices.
For more info, see Clearing the product memory of paired Bluetooth devices. Once cleared, reconnect and try again. For more information, see Connecting a Bluetooth device.
Clear your product's memory of previously paired Bluetooth devices, then reconnect.
Your product remembers the last several devices it connected to so it can quickly reconnect to them. In case of an issue with the device memory, clear it, then create a new memory by re-pairing your Bluetooth devices. For more info, see Clearing the product memory of paired Bluetooth devices.
Remove your product from the memory of the Bluetooth device, then try again.
In the Bluetooth settings of the Bluetooth device, find the list of previously connected products. Remove your product from the list, including any duplicate listings labeled LE (Low Energy), then reconnect it to the device. For more information, see Connecting a Bluetooth device.
Try connecting a different Bluetooth® device.
If your Bose product can connect to another device, Bluetooth functionality is working. In cases like this, the issue could be with the first device or its settings.
Connect a different Bluetooth® device.
Try another Bluetooth device to determine if the issue is related to the first device or its settings.
