Multi-point Connection

Maintenance
- Water Exposure: Do not soak the earphones in seawater or saltwater for extended periods. After use in water, rinse and thoroughly dry the charging magnetic part with fresh water to prevent corrosion.
- Cleaning: After each exercise or use, wipe the surface of the headphones clean, especially the charging magnetic suction port. This prevents sweat and saltwater from corroding the charging port and affecting the product's service life.
- Storage: If not used for a long time, fully charge the earphones at least once a month to maintain battery health. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- General Care: Avoid violent impact, disassembly, and compression of the product. Keep away from sources of fire, extreme heat, freezing temperatures, and harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
- Unable to switch to MP3 mode:
- If the built-in memory card does not contain any songs, the earphones cannot switch to MP3 mode. Ensure you have transferred audio files to the device's memory.
- No sound from the headset:
- Confirm that the volume is turned up on both the earphones and the connected device.
- For some mobile phones, ensure that the "synchronous volume" setting for Bluetooth is enabled.
- Headset cannot be charged or data cannot be transferred:
- Check if there are any foreign objects on the magnetic thimble of the charging cable or the charging port of the earphones.
- Wipe the charging contacts clean and try again.
- Ensure the charging cable is securely connected.
- Data cannot be transmitted normally:
- Similar to charging issues, check for foreign objects or dirt on the charging thimble and earphone contacts.
- Clean the contacts and ensure a proper connection.

User Tips
- MP3 Music Playback: To use the MP3 mode, ensure you have transferred music files (MP3 or APE format) to the earphone's internal 32GB memory via the magnetic charging cable connected to a computer. If no songs are loaded, MP3 mode will not function.
- Comfort with Glasses: The lightweight design and bone conduction style allow for comfortable wear even with glasses, as the earphones do not interfere with the ear canal.
- Secure Fit: The ear hook and balance back hook design provide a stable fit, ensuring the earphones stay in place during intense activities like sprinting or off-road cycling.
Safety Warnings
- Water Usage: Do not wear headphones during hot baths or saunas. While IPX8 waterproof, extreme temperatures can affect product safety and proper function.
- Charging Safety: Use only a charging head with an output of 5V1A or less. Charging with higher voltage (above 5V) may cause the earphones to overheat, potentially damaging the battery and motherboard.
- Magnetic Charging: The magnetic charging connection has specific polarity. Ensure the cable is adsorbed correctly; incorrect connection (mutual exclusion) can prevent charging or even cause a short circuit.
- Battery Disposal: Rechargeable batteries must be disposed of properly for recycling. Do not put the battery in fire, as it may explode.
- Environmental Hazards: Keep the product away from sources of fire, heat, freezing temperatures, and harsh chemicals.
- Physical Damage: Strictly prohibit violent impact, unauthorized disassembly, and compression of the product.
