When this guide applies

Bluetooth discovery only. Base-station pairing and the main Power button are different paths.

Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: My devices won’t pair or reconnect.

This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.

If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.

What owners have reported

These are public, self-reported experiences. They help explain the order of checks and the limits of a guide. They are not controlled tests, proof of a cause, a success rate or a substitute for the manufacturer instructions above.

User-reported Nova Pro Wireless Bluetooth discovery difficulty

An owner reports the headset not becoming discoverable despite reading the four-second instruction; replies also mix later source-audio complaints.

How this informs the checks: Keep Bluetooth OFF as an explicit discovery prerequisite and distinguish this button from base-station pairing. Do not promise every reported discovery issue is solved.

Limits: An individual public owner report is not a physical test, prevalence estimate, verified cause or proof that a suggested workaround repairs other units.

Checks and possible outcomes

Start at check-0. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.

Is the headset charged and its Bluetooth radio confirmed OFF?

Bluetooth power is separate from 2.4 GHz. Continue only if Bluetooth is already confirmed OFF. If it is ON, choose No; if its state cannot be established, choose unknown. This flow does not turn off an active connection.

Look for: Confirm the stated observation; do not infer an unavailable detail.
