6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the main unit and speakers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Water Exposure: While IP67 waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion. Ensure the USB port cover is securely closed when not charging.
• Storage: Store the headset in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: For optimal battery life, charge the device regularly, even if not in frequent use. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
• Cable Care: Handle cables gently to prevent damage. Do not pull on the cables to disconnect.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device won't power on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to the USB charging cable and try again.
• Cannot pair with phone: Make sure the headset is in pairing mode (red and blue lights flashing alternately). Turn off and on your phone's Bluetooth, then try searching again. Ensure no other devices are actively connected to the headset.
• No sound from speakers: Check if the speakers are properly connected to the main unit. Ensure the volume is turned up on both the headset and your connected device.
• Intercom not working: Verify both units are powered on and within range. Ensure they are correctly paired for intercom communication (refer to specific intercom pairing instructions).
• Poor sound quality/noise: Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly and not obstructed. Check for strong wind noise; the CVC/DSP noise reduction should help, but extreme conditions can still affect clarity.
• Short battery life: Ensure the device is fully charged before use. Battery life can be affected by extreme temperatures or continuous high-volume usage.

8. User Tips

• Optimal Microphone Placement: For the best call clarity and voice assistant performance, ensure the microphone is positioned as close to your mouth as possible without obstructing your vision or comfort.
• Intercom Range: While the ideal intercom range is 1200m, expect a practical range of 300-500m in real-world riding conditions due to obstacles and interference. Keep this in mind when communicating with your riding partner.
• Battery Broadcast: Pay attention to the remaining power broadcast feature to avoid unexpected power loss during your ride.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates, which may improve performance or add new features.
