My music cuts out or my headphones won't stay connected
When using a epix watch connected to Bluetooth headphones, the signal is strongest when there is a direct line
of sight between the watch and the antenna on the headphones.
• If the signal passes through your body, you may experience signal loss or your headphones may become
disconnected.
• If you wear your epix watch on your left wrist, you should make sure the headphone's Bluetooth antenna is on
your left ear.
• Since headphones vary by model, you can try wearing the watch on your other wrist.
• If you are using metal or leather watch bands, you can switch to silicone watch bands to improve signal
strength.
