Maintenance

2. Waterproofing (IPX3)
The headphones have an IPX3 waterproof rating, meaning they are protected against spraying water. This makes them suitable for sports and light rain.
- Do not immerse the headphones in water.
- Avoid exposing them to strong jets of water.
- If they get wet, wipe them dry immediately.
Troubleshooting
- **Headphones not turning on:** Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a power source and check the LED display.
- **Cannot pair with device:** Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the headphones are in pairing mode. Try restarting both devices.
- **Sound delay or poor positioning (especially on Windows):** This might be due to default drivers. Consider updating your device's Bluetooth drivers or using a different audio output setting. Not recommended for gaming.
- **No sound from TF card:** Ensure the TF card is inserted correctly and contains compatible audio files.
- **Microphone quality issues:** Ensure the microphone is not obstructed. Digital noise reduction (DVC/CVC8.0) is designed to improve call clarity.
- **Battery not holding charge:** Over time, battery performance may degrade. If the battery is fully charged but the headphones do not turn on, the battery may need replacement (though not user-serviceable).
- **Wires breaking:** With heavy use, wires can break at the exit point from the control unit. Handle with care.
User Tips
- For optimal call quality and battery life, ensure the headphones are fully charged before extended use. Some users report 2-3 weeks of battery life for calls on a single charge.
- If experiencing sound delays, especially on Windows, check your device's audio settings and drivers. These headphones are primarily designed for music and calls, not intensive gaming.
- The TF card feature is excellent for listening to music on the go without needing your phone.
- The magnetic earbuds are a convenient feature to keep the headphones secure around your neck and prevent tangling when not in use.
- Experiment with the different EQ sound options to find your preferred audio profile for various music genres.
