Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your HOCO EQ14 earbuds.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the earbuds and charging case. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Water Resistance: The earbuds are waterproof, but the charging case is not. Avoid exposing the charging case to water or excessive moisture.
• Storage: When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them and keep them charged. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Charging: Only use the provided Type-C charging cable or a certified equivalent. Avoid overcharging.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HOCO EQ14 earbuds, try the following solutions:

• Earbuds not pairing:
  • Ensure both earbuds are charged.
  • Turn off and on your device's Bluetooth.
  • Forget "HOCO EQ14" from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.
  • Place earbuds back in the case, close, then reopen to reset pairing mode.
• No sound from one earbud:
  • Ensure both earbuds are charged and connected.
  • Try resetting the earbuds by placing them in the case and closing it for a few seconds.
  • Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case.
• Charging case screen unresponsive:
  • Ensure the charging case has sufficient battery.
  • Try connecting the charging case to a power source.
  • If the screen is locked, unlock it using the touch screen interface.
• Poor audio quality:
  • Ensure the earbuds are fully charged.
  • Move closer to your connected device to reduce interference.
  • Check for any obstructions between the earbuds and your device.

User Tips

• Maximize Battery Life: Always place the earbuds back into the charging case when not in use. The case's 500mAh battery provides multiple charges, extending your listening time significantly.
• Explore Touch Screen Features: Don't forget to utilize the charging case's touch screen for quick adjustments like volume, sound modes, and even finding a misplaced earbud. It offers more control than standard earbud touch gestures.
• Secure Fit: Ensure a snug fit for optimal sound quality and comfort. Experiment with different ear tip sizes if available (though not explicitly mentioned in package contents, it's a common earbud tip).
• Siri Integration: Take advantage of the Apple Siri Support feature for hands-free control and commands.
