TROUBLESHOOTING FOR ABT35-USB
Problem
My ABT35-USB headset does not work
with the softphone I am using on my
PC (I cannot answer or disconnect
from the headset call button).
I've plugged in the USB Bluetooth
adapter, but my headset does not respond
to button presses.
I've installed PerSonoCall and the USB
Bluetooth adapter but the system tray icon
shows a red X (denoting no connection).
I cannot hear caller.
Callers cannot hear me.
