Standard Pairing:

1. Ensure the earphones are powered off.
2. Press and hold the power button (Volume +) for 2 seconds until the indicator light flashes, indicating pairing mode.
3. On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
4. Select "Xiaomi Earphones Explore" from the list to connect.

MIUI Popup Quick Connect (for compatible Xiaomi devices):

For compatible Xiaomi devices with the latest MIUI version, simply activate pairing mode on the earphones near your phone. The phone will automatically detect the earphones and display a quick connect pop-up. Follow the on-screen prompts to pair. The earphone battery level will also be visible on the pop-up.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Controls

The earphones feature physical buttons for precise control:

• Power On/Off: Press and hold the 'Volume +' button for 2 seconds.
• Answer/End Call: Single click the multifunction button.
• Play/Pause Music: Single click the multifunction button.
• Previous Track: Triple click the multifunction button.

4.2 Dual Device Connection

The earphones support simultaneous connection to two Bluetooth devices, allowing you to seamlessly switch between them (e.g., between a smartphone and a computer). This feature enables you to enjoy media on one device and quickly answer calls on another without re-pairing.

Note: This feature is turned off by default and needs to be manually enabled or operated in the Bluetooth settings page of compatible models. The experience may vary depending on the devices.

4.3 Bone Conduction Listening Experience

The bone conduction technology transmits sound through vibrations to your auditory nerves, leaving your ears open. This allows you to remain aware of your surroundings, enhancing safety during outdoor activities. For optimal sound quality, ensure the transducers are positioned correctly on your cheekbones.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Waterproofing and Cleaning

The earphones boast an IP66 professional protection rating, meaning they are fully sealed and resistant to dust and water jets from all directions. This makes them suitable for use in rainy conditions or during intense workouts where sweat is a factor.

Important Notes:

• The IP66 rating applies to the body of the earphones when the charging port cover is closed and the earphones are worn normally.
• They are not resistant to hot water.
• Do not charge the earphones if the charging port is wet or contains foreign objects. Ensure the port is completely dry before charging.
• The waterproof and dustproof effects are not permanent and may decrease over time due to daily wear and tear.

To clean the earphones, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

6. Troubleshooting

• Cannot Power On: Ensure the earphones are sufficiently charged. Press and hold the 'Volume +' button for 2 seconds.
• Cannot Pair: Make sure the earphones are in pairing mode (indicator light flashing). Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and it's within the 10-meter communication range. Try restarting both the earphones and your device.
• Poor Audio Quality: Ensure the bone conduction transducers are positioned correctly on your cheekbones for optimal sound transmission. Check for any obstructions.
• High Latency (Audio Delay): If using aptX-Adaptive, ensure the low-latency feature is enabled on your phone and the relevant applications are added to 'Game Acceleration' settings (for compatible Xiaomi devices).
• Dual Device Switching Not Working: Verify that the dual device connection feature is enabled in your device's Bluetooth settings (if applicable).
• Charging Issues: Ensure you are using a 5V/200mA power source. Check the Type-C cable for damage and ensure the charging port on the earphones is clean and dry.
