• Switch to MP3 Mode: Before entering water, ensure the headphones are in MP3 Music Mode (double-press Power/Mode button).
• Use In-ear Silicone Caps: For enhanced sound quality and noise reduction underwater, attach the provided in-ear silicone caps. These help direct sound more effectively in a water environment.
• Waterproofing: The IPX8 rating ensures the headphones are protected against continuous immersion in water.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, especially after swimming, rinse the headphones with fresh water and wipe them dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the headphones in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the headphones regularly, even if not in use for extended periods.
• Magnetic Charging Port: Keep the magnetic charging contacts clean and dry to ensure proper charging.

7. Troubleshooting

• Headphones won't power on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to the magnetic charging cable and try again after a few minutes.
• No sound: Check the volume level on both the headphones and your connected device. Ensure the headphones are in the correct mode (Bluetooth or MP3). If in Bluetooth mode, ensure it's paired and connected.
• Cannot pair via Bluetooth: Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode (LED flashing red and blue). Ensure your device's Bluetooth is on and within range. Try turning both devices off and on again.
• Poor sound quality underwater: Ensure you are in MP3 Music Mode and have attached the in-ear silicone caps. Bluetooth does not work well underwater.
• Computer does not recognize headphones for MP3 transfer: Ensure the magnetic charging cable is securely connected. Try a different USB port or cable.
