Dont know how to turn the volume up on this headset

You don't specify which headset that you have. I would need to know which one and check all the connections to know why you aren't hearing a dial tone.

Here are a few things you can try -- try checking all the connections, unplug and replug back in, make sure that they are in the correct slot.

If it is a wireless headset say like a CS50-CS55 there is a 1-4 on the side, check to see if the #1 is in a 3 O'Clock position.

Is this a computer headset, wireless, corded, bluetooth, MP3?? Can only give recommendations of things to try.

Good luck from Headsets Direct!

Windows isn't directing sound to the headset plug. This can be changed under control panel sound.
Sometimes it will asign itself if you turn on the computer with the headset already plugged in.
Also check the settings under all programs --- accessories -- entertainment -- volume control
and make sure the volume isnt too low or muted for the device.

Good Luck from Headsets Direct!

there is an inline volume control located on the inline remote. Meaning that on the cord you should see the volume on the remote that is built in-line..

Well yea but what if it doesnt have a volume control...my model is a quikcell BOLT mini auricular headset

press and hold power button from an off position and it will be in find me mode.

the two buttons on the side at the same time turn mic off
and again at the same time turns mic back on.

just pressing one at a time will raise the volume and the other is to lower the volume

tried pairing with a different phone and turned up the volume button...don't know which change made it work but it worked fine. So I'm guessing it might have been the voume was not set correcttly.

while talking to your party try the volume on your phone, it should come up as bluetooth or earpiece volume if it does just turn it up and dont forget to hit the set button. good luck m.m. p.s. some times the volume isnt set at the factory. im fighting that problem now on two of my seven h-700s. this may be a solution it may not im letting you know my experiance as best as i can.m.m.

how can i hear others loudly in earpeice?

You may need to reset your Bluetooth devices. Please follow the steps below:

1. Delete BT150 from cell your phone (if listed).
2. Turn your cell phone off completely, and remove battery for 10 seconds. Please consult your phone provider prior to removing battery.
3. Connect the BT150 headset to the charger for 10 seconds, then unplug.
4. Place the battery back into your phone and power your phone on.
5. Remove the headset from the AC cord.
6. Turn off the headset by pressing the answer/end button until the light flashes rapidly, then release.
7. Turn the headset on by pressing the answer/end button until you receive a flashing blue light.
8. Press and hold the answer/end button and the volume plus (+) button until you receive solid blue light. This may take up to 10 seconds.
9. Go into the Bluetooth menu on your cell phone and follow the cell phone’s instruction guide for pairing a Bluetooth headset. This generally involves going into a “devices” or “hands free” menu and adding a new device. Your phone may ask if you want to pair with the headset, accept by pressing “yes” or “OK” and confirm with the passkey or PIN 0000 (4 zeros).
