To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HOCO EQ6 TWS Wireless Earbuds, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents.
• Charging Contacts: Ensure the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the case are clean and free of dust or debris. Use a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol if necessary, then dry thoroughly.
• Storage: When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them from dust and damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
• Water Resistance: The earbuds are waterproof (specific IP rating not provided, but generally means splash-proof). Avoid submerging them in water or exposing them to heavy rain. Dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
• Avoid Impact: Do not drop, hit, or subject the earbuds or charging case to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.

  • Turn off and on Bluetooth on your device.
  • Forget/delete 'HOCO EQ6' from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.
• Only one earbud working:
  • Ensure both earbuds are charged.
  • Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, and then open it again. This often re-syncs them.
  • Clean the charging contacts on both earbuds and inside the case.
• No sound or low volume:
  • Check the volume level on both your device and the earbuds.
  • Ensure the earbuds are properly connected to your device.
  • Try playing audio from a different application or source.

8. User Tips

• Firmware Updates: While not explicitly mentioned, some earbuds may benefit from firmware updates via a companion app. Check the manufacturer's website or app store for any available updates.
