Functionality for iPhone® and most Android™ phones:

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.

Note: Different applications will behave differently, and this is not a

guarantee of functionality

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

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

a cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt or oil

Check the compatibility of your device at
