Maintenance

Regularly clean your earbuds and charging case to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.

- Avoid using abrasive materials, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
- Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case with a dry cotton swab to prevent connection issues.
2. Water Resistance
The HTC NE46 earbuds are rated IPX5, meaning they are resistant to splashes and spills. This makes them suitable for workouts and light rain.
Caution: IPX5 rating means protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction. Do not submerge the earbuds in water or expose them to high-pressure water streams.
3. Storage
When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them and keep them charged. Store the device in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
1. Clear Bluetooth Pairing History

2. Reset Earphones
If the earphones fail to pair or reconnect to each other, you can reset them.
- Tap both earphones' touchpads five times simultaneously.
Note: Resetting the earphones will clear the Bluetooth pairing history.
