5. Maintenance

5.1 Water Usage Precautions

• The S9 headphones are IPX8 waterproof, suitable for swimming pools up to 20 meters deep.
• Do NOT use in seawater. Seawater is corrosive to electronic products, especially the magnetic charging part, which can lead to corrosion, charging failure, or power issues.
• When swimming or using underwater, ensure the headphones are in "MP3 Music Mode" for optimal performance, as Bluetooth signals are absorbed by water.

5.2 Charging and Storage

• Always use a 5V/1A or 5V/2A charging adapter. Avoid fast chargers.
• After each use, especially after exercise or water exposure, wipe off any water or sweat from the surface of the headphones, paying close attention to the magnetic charging contacts to prevent corrosion.
• If not used for an extended period, fully charge the headphones at least once a month to maintain battery health.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Bluetooth Connection Underwater: This is normal. Bluetooth communicates via electromagnetic waves, which are absorbed by water. Switch to "MP3 Music Mode" for underwater listening.
• Charging Issues: Ensure the magnetic charging contacts are clean and dry. Use a compatible 5V/1A or 5V/2A charger. If corrosion is suspected due to seawater exposure, contact support.
• Headphones Not Turning On: Ensure the headphones are sufficiently charged. If fully charged and still not turning on, try resetting by holding the power button for an extended period (e.g., 10-15 seconds) or contact support.
• Sound Quality Issues: Ensure the headphones are properly positioned. For bone conduction, the transducers should rest on your cheekbones. For in-ear mode, ensure the silicone caps are correctly inserted.

8. User Tips

• Optimal Sound: Experiment with both open-ear and in-ear modes to find the best sound experience for your activity. The in-ear caps are particularly useful for swimming to enhance sound clarity underwater.
• Secure Fit: The memory wire ear-hooks are designed for comfort and a secure fit. Adjust the angle of the earphone heads for personalized comfort, especially during high-intensity sports.
• Offline Music for Water Sports: Always use the built-in 32GB MP3 player when swimming or in water to avoid Bluetooth connectivity issues.
• Regular Cleaning: After any water exposure or heavy sweating, gently wipe down the headphones, especially the charging contacts, to prevent long-term damage.
