Next, clean the charging case, earbuds seats, and ports. Be very gentle while cleaning your device so that you may not harm any of the components.
Solution#3. Follow the Charging Recommendations
If you don’t follow the recommendations properly, the device will fail to charge. Be sure to check the following things:
- Use the original USB cable provided with your Jabra Elite.
- Avoid using third-party, incompatible, or cheap cables for charging your device.
- Also, use the original adapter or a 5v+-0.25v.
- Do not use a high-voltage adapter or power supply, this practice can damage your device permanently.
- Plug the charging case into a standard power outlet. Avoid plugging it into an extension that is connected to heavy appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, dryers, etc.
Solution#4. Connect to A Different Power Supply
The power outlet may be defective. Therefore, your device cannot charge. So, plug the case into a different wall power outlet. Check whether the outlet is working or not by connecting another device to it.
If you are charging through your computer, make sure it is not in sleep mode. Connect to a different USB port on your PC. It is better to charge your Jabra Elite directly via an electric outlet.
Moreover, connect the adapter directly to an outlet instead of using an extension. By checking all these things, you can resolve the problem in minutes.
Solution#5. Prevent Overheating
Overheating can also stop the charging. It happens when you use the earbuds continuously for long hours. The buds get too hot to work normally.
A built-in protective mechanism shuts down the charging. Hence, leave the buds for some time so that they can cool down. Also, protect them from direct sunlight or heat.
These small electronic devices are designed to work efficiently within 0-45 degree centigrade. Any increase and decrease in temperature can lead to functioning problems. Thus, you have to keep in mind the environmental changes.
