5. Maintenance and Care

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the earphones and charging case. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: If the product is not used for a long period, ensure it is fully charged and powered off before storing. Recharge periodically (e.g., every 3 months) to maintain battery health.
  • Charging Precautions: Always disconnect the charging cable once charging is complete to prevent potential damage from prolonged overcharging.
  • Water Resistance: The earphones are waterproof, but avoid prolonged exposure to water or submersion.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Earphones not pairing with each other or only one earphone connects:

    Ensure both earphones are fully charged. Place both earphones back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open the lid and take them out again. This should reset their connection. If the issue persists, try forgetting the device from your phone's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing from scratch.

  • Earphones not connecting to the app:

    The product description and specifications do not indicate support for a dedicated mobile application. Connectivity is primarily via standard Bluetooth to your device's audio output. If you are attempting to connect to an app, please verify if an official app is available for this specific model.

  • No sound or low volume:

    Check the volume levels on both your connected device and the earphones. Ensure the earphones are properly seated in your ears. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the Bluetooth connection.

  • Intermittent connection or audio drops:

    Ensure you are within the Bluetooth range (≥10 meters) of your connected device. Avoid obstacles between the earphones and the device. Try disconnecting and reconnecting. Ensure there are no other strong wireless signals interfering.

  • Touch controls not responding:

    Ensure your fingers are clean and dry. Try restarting the earphones by placing them in the case and taking them out again. If the issue persists, ensure the earphones are fully charged.
