+G633 - Troubleshooting Best Practices
The following best practices should be followed before troubleshooting G633 7.1 RGB Gaming
Headset issues:
Confirm the battery is sufficiently charged, if possible.

case USB port. We advise that you set up your environment to maintain a strong line of
sight between the USB Wireless Mix Adapter and the G633 headset while
troubleshooting. Avoid plugging it into a hub of any type, powered or not, during
troubleshooting.
Please have the included 3.5mm cable (1.5m) 4-pin cable readily available.

1. Open Logitech G HUB and click the G633 7.1 RGB Gaming Headset.

Mix Adapter are plugged directly into the motherboard before you start the firmware update
process.
