Maintenance

• Cleaning Ear Tips: Regularly remove the silicone ear tips and clean them with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them to the earbuds.
• Cleaning Earbuds: Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the earbud housing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Cable Care: While the flat cable is designed to resist tangling, avoid excessive pulling or sharp bends. Store the earbuds neatly to prevent damage.
• Storage: When not in use, store the earbuds in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Water Resistance: These earbuds are not water resistant. Avoid exposure to liquids, moisture, and high humidity.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound:
  • Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into your device's audio port.
  • Check the volume level on your audio device.
  • Test the earbuds with a different audio device to rule out device-specific issues.
• Poor Sound Quality (e.g., muffled, lacking bass):
  • Verify that the ear tips are correctly sized and form a good seal in your ear canal.
  • Clean the ear tips and earbud nozzles to remove any debris or earwax buildup.
• Microphone Not Working:
  • Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted.
  • Check your device's audio input settings to confirm the external microphone is selected.
  • Test the microphone with a different application or device.
• Cable Tangling:
  • While the flat cable design reduces tangles, proper coiling and storage can further prevent this.
