Wireless Noise Canceling Stereo Headset

WF-1000XM3

Initializing the headset to restore factory settings

If the headset does not operate correctly even after resetting, initialize the headset.
Place the headset in the charging case, leave the lid of the charging case open, then hold your fingers to the touch
sensors on both the left and right units for about 10 seconds. Release your fingers when the indicators (red) of the
headset start flashing.
The indicators (blue) flash 4 times ( 

 

 

 

 ), and the headset is initialized. This operation resets the headset to the

factory settings and deletes all pairing information. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the
device and then pair them again.
If the headset does not operate correctly even after initializing, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Note

Before holding your fingers to the touch sensors, check that both the indicators (red) of the headset are lit.

If you have updated the software after purchasing the headset, even if you initialize the headset, the software is retained updated.

When you initialize the headset to restore the factory settings after you change the language of the voice guidance, the language
will also return to the factory setting.
