Why the phone does not see the bluetooth headset: the main reasons
After purchasing a wireless headset, you need to connect it to the device. Only then will it function. If this does not work, then you will have to understand the reasons. There may be several:
- First - the simplest - a dead battery.
- The second one is no less banal - they forgot to turn on the headset.
- The third one also does not imply complex actions - the wireless device was previously paired with another device. In this case, the phone sees the Bluetooth headset, but does not connect to it.
- The fourth is in the settings - the sync option is disabled.
- And the fifth (the most difficult and costly) is a malfunction of the gadget, and the problem can be both with the phone and with the bluetooth headset.
There is another important point to consider when choosing devices. We are talking about the compatibility of a wireless headset and a smartphone. As a rule, a certain list of models is suitable for specific brands, which are indicated in the documentation. If the manufacturer has not provided such information, then you can do it much easier - just try to connect the headset to the phone right in the store.
Elimination of simple errors
First of all, if the phone has stopped seeing the bluetooth headset, you need to check the condition of the battery. It is important that both devices are charged! If one of the gadgets runs out of battery, the connection may be interrupted.
If the phone sees the headset, but cannot connect to it, then it is important to check if it is being used by another smartphone. As a rule, this happens if the wireless device was purchased, as they say, from the hands, that is, not new, but used (used).
If both of the methods described above did not help, then you should look into the phone settings. It often happens that the synchronization option is simply deactivated in the menu. In this case, simply move the slider to "ON", and then try to connect the headset again.
If these methods did not help fix the error, then you will have to deal with technical problems. It is better to entrust such work to specialists. But if you yourself are an advanced user, then you can try to figure out the problem yourself.

To do this, you need to go either to the settings or find the icon on the curtain. You also need to remember to turn on the headset itself. After on the smartphone, start searching for devices. A list of available models will appear on the screen. It remains only to choose the one you need and connect to it. In some cases, a code is requested during pairing. It can be the number combination 1234, 0000 or 1111.
Smartphone or headset: searchproblems
