Operating Instructions

1. Touch Controls

The FW1 earbuds feature intuitive touch controls for managing playback, calls, and other functions. Specific gestures for play/pause, skip tracks, answer/end calls, and activate voice assistant are typically detailed in the quick start guide included in the package.

2. Single and Dual Earbud Mode

Thanks to Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo plus dual transmission, you can use either earbud independently or both together for a stereo experience.

• Single Earbud Mode: Either earbud can be connected singly for usage via Bluetooth.
• Dual Earbud Mode: Utilize both earbuds for a more complete listening experience.

3. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

The FW1 earbuds are equipped with Active Noise Cancellation technology to reduce ambient noise, allowing for a more immersive listening experience. This feature can typically be toggled via the touch controls.

4. Volume Control and Microphone

Volume can be controlled directly from the earbuds using touch gestures or from your connected device. The integrated microphone allows for clear hands-free calls.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain sound quality and hygiene.

• Gently wipe the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• Remove eartips and clean them with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.
• Use a cotton swab or small brush to carefully clean any debris from the earbud grilles and charging contacts.

2. Storage

When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them from dust, damage, and to keep them charged.

3. Water Resistance

The FW1 earbuds are waterproof, offering protection against rain and perspiration. However, they are not designed for submersion in water. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FiiO FW1 earbuds, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are in the charging case, then open the lid to initiate pairing mode. Check your device's Bluetooth settings and try re-pairing.
• Only one earbud working: This may occur if only one earbud is connected in single earbud mode. Place both earbuds back in the case, close the lid, then open it again to reset and allow them to connect in dual mode.
• No sound or poor sound quality: Check the volume level on both your device and the earbuds. Ensure the earbuds are clean and free of debris. Try re-pairing the earbuds.
• Charging issues: Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Check the charging contacts on the earbuds and inside the case for any obstructions.
• Disconnection issues: The FW1 features Bluetooth 5.0 and LDS antenna for stable connection. Ensure there are no major obstructions between the earbuds and your device, and that you are within the 10-meter Bluetooth range.

User Tips

• Optimal Fit: Experiment with all three sizes of eartips (S, M, L) to find the most comfortable and secure fit. A good seal is crucial for optimal sound quality and noise cancellation.
• Maximize Battery Life: Always return the earbuds to their charging case when not in use. This not only protects them but also ensures they are always charged and ready for your next listening session.
• Sound Quality: For the best audio experience, ensure your device supports aptX codec and that it is enabled. The Knowles Balanced Armature drivers are designed for natural, high-fidelity sound.
• Connectivity: The LDS antenna technology enhances signal stability. For best results, keep your connected device relatively close to the earbuds, especially in environments with high interference.
