FIRST-TIME PAIRING

 

PAIRING ISSUES?

 

Issue: The wireless earbuds not maintaining a paired status.

Solution:

  • If you have previously paired to your device, simply turn your Method Active on and it will pair to the last known device.
  • If your Method Active does not successfully pair to your device, turn the product off. From the off state, hold the power on button for 5 seconds until you see a blue LED and hear “pairing.”
  • Enter your device’s Bluetooth settings and choose Method Active. The product should connect to your device.
  • If that is not successful, you will need to reset your Method Active. With the product in the On state, hold the Volume + and Volume – buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until you hear two beeps.
  • Turn your Method Active off and then back on and it will go into pairing mode. Select Method Active in your Bluetooth settings.
  • If your earbuds do not pair after choosing them in your Bluetooth settings, choose to forget Method Active in your device.
  • Turn your Method Active off and back on. It will enter pairing mode. Choose Method Active in new devices in your Bluetooth settings.

EARBUDS NOT CHARGING?

Issue: Not seeing the LED light on Method Active that indicates earbuds are charging. Or, not seeing LED light on Method Active that indicates headphones are finished charging, despite charging for 1+ hours. 

  • Wait momentarily after plugging the earbuds in, occasionally it takes a few seconds to begin charging. 
  • Check to see if any debris is inside or otherwise blocking the charging port 
  • Be sure to charge your earbuds on a flat surface to ensure the USB connector on the charging cord is flush and securely inserted into the charging port. 
  • 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, please visit our warranty page where you can file a claim to receive a replacement product. All Skullcandy products have a 1-year warranty.
