3.1 Charging the Headphones

4. Charging typically takes approximately 1.5 hours. The LED indicator will change or turn off once charging is complete.

Ensure the headphones are fully charged before first use for optimal battery life.

3.2 Pairing with a Bluetooth Device

1. Ensure the headphones are turned off.
2. Press and hold the Multi-function button (usually the center button on the control panel) for approximately 5-7 seconds until the LED indicator flashes red and blue alternately. This indicates pairing mode.
3. On your Bluetooth-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, computer), go to the Bluetooth settings and enable Bluetooth.
4. Search for available devices. You should see "Senso ActivBuds S-230" or a similar name appear in the list.
5. Select the headphones from the list to connect. If prompted for a password, enter "0000".
6. Once successfully paired, the LED indicator on the headphones will flash blue slowly, and you may hear an audible confirmation.

The headphones will automatically attempt to reconnect to the last paired device when turned on.

3.3 Adjusting for a Secure Fit

The ActivBuds S-230 feature an in-ear design with secure over-ear hooks for stability during activity. Experiment with the three included sizes of ear tips (Small, Medium, Large) to find the most comfortable and secure fit that also provides optimal sound isolation.

• Gently insert the earbud into your ear canal.
• Position the over-ear hook comfortably around the back of your ear.
• Adjust the cable management clip to secure the cable behind your neck, preventing it from bouncing during movement.
