    3. Check that the NFC function of the smartphone is set to on.
    4. If the smartphone is in a case, remove it.
    5. NFC reception sensitivity varies depending on the device. If you repeatedly fail to connect the headset with a smartphone by one touch, connect it to the headset by on-screen operation on the smartphone.
