  • How can I reset my JBL headphones?
    With the headphones switched ON, press and hold the Volume + and Volume - buttons for more than 5 seconds. The LED blinks two colors, and now you have reset to factory settings.
  • How do I see when my JBL E45BT or E55BT is fully charged?
    While charging, the charging indicator diode is lighting constantly. When charging is complete, the light goes out.
  • How do I turn off my E45BT or E55BT?
    The on/off button is a spring-loaded slider button. Press the button upwards against the spring pressure, and hold it there for about three seconds.

Please note that if you do not play music or press any button for about 10 minutes, the headphones will switch off automatically.
