TROUBLESHOOTING
PAIRING ISSUES?
Issue: The biggest challenge with true wireless earbuds is ensuring your buds are properly connected to each other and your device. There are times when you may unintentionally disconnect the buds and change their paired state, this can create pairing challenges and impact your ability to use either bud solo (Solo Mode). Do not worry, as there is an easy fix!
Solution:
- To ensure ease of re-pairing, please unpair or forget your PUSH™ ULTRA in your paired Bluetooth device list
- Remove the PUSH™ ULTRA from the charging case and Manually Power OFF:
- Touch and hold the Power/MFB button on BOTH buds for 6 seconds
- Once both buds have been powered OFF, reset them:
- Touch and hold the Power/MFB button on both buds for 10 seconds to completely reset them (this will power cycle them on and off again).
- Sync the buds together:
- Place the buds back in the case until both LED’s show red, and then pull them back out.
- Both buds will automatically power ON and the LED’s will simultaneously flash BLUE while they sync to each other.
- You will hear a tone to indicate the sync was successful and ONLY the LEFT bud will begin to flash RED/BLUE.
- At this time, turn on your device’s Bluetooth and look for PUSH™ ULTRA in your list of Available Bluetooth devices. Please make sure it only appears once, and select it.
- IMPORTANT – Select all “Pair” and “Ok” prompts that will pop up on your screen.
- Once successfully paired, a voice prompt will notify you are now “Connected” and you will see PUSH™ ULTRA twice in your “Paired devices” list.
USE EITHER BUD SOLO
Issue: If you’re a user that would like to use the PUSH™ ULTRA with only one ear bud (Solo Mode), you’re in luck! The updated technology in PUSH™ ULTRA allows the user to use either the left OR the right bud in Solo Mode. Once paired correctly, you will be able to switch between buds at your discretion. Although, if you’re having any challenges using either bud solo, you may follow these simple steps to ensure ease of use when pairing and switching between Solo and Stereo Modes.
Solution:
- Please note – BOTH the LEFT and RIGHT bud for PUSH™ ULTRA can be used in Solo Mode, this is because the new tech allows you to Use Either Bud Solo.
- For the optimal Solo Mode functionality, first Power On and pair your buds to your device normally or as described in our trouble shooting section. This will ensure the seamless transition between Stereo and Solo modes.
- Once both PUSH™ ULTRA buds are paired together, simply place the RIGHT or LEFT bud back into the case; whichever you prefer! The remaining bud will stay paired and function with both phone calls and music.
- The will maintain ALL media control functionality, but remember you will lose some of the media control functionality such as “Volume + or -“, and “Track << or >>”, depending on which bud was placed in the case when in Solo Mode. The RIGHT bud will always control Volume Up and Track forward, and the LEFT bud will always control Track Back.
- If you would like to change back to Stereo Mode from Solo Mode, simply pull the other bud from the case at any time and you will hear a tone, or the music will seamlessly begin to stream to indicate that you have automatically entered back into Stereo Mode.
- Please Note - If you’re having any trouble switching between the LEFT and RIGHT buds in Solo Mode, you will need to follow the reset instructions explained above and clear BOTH earbuds and re-pair to enter back into the correct paired state to use either bud solo.
BUDS NOT CHARGING IN CASE/CASE LID NOT CLOSING PROPERLY?
Issue: Not seeing the RED LED indicator on the bud when you’ve placed your PUSH™ ULTRA back into their charging case?
Solution:
- Check to see if any debris is blocking the charging pins at the bottom of the case, or on the bud.
- Check to see if the customizable fit hangers have been molded out of shape and are keeping the buds from sitting correctly in the case.
- You must ensure the buds are fit snuggly back into the case, and the LED’s on the ear buds have turned RED to indicate that they are now charging.
- You may need to give the hangers a little tug to fit them correctly back into the case if they have been molded out of shape.
- This could be keeping the buds from sitting correctly in the case. If you’re having a hard time closing the lid completely, it is likely because the earbuds are not set correctly or the gels are interfering.
- Check the battery level indicator button on the charging case to ensure the case is holding a charge.
- When charging the device, we recommend using a cable, charger, or outlet with a power output that does not exceed 18-Watt (5 Volts/3.6amps).
If you’ve checked everything above and are still experiencing issues and/or if the indicator light remains dark and does not come on at all, please visit our warranty page where you can file a claim to receive a replacement product. All Skullcandy products have a 1-year warranty.
