Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean your earphones to maintain sound quality and hygiene. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the earbuds and cable. For ear tips, you may gently remove them and clean with a mild soap solution, then rinse thoroughly and ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.

When not in use, store the earphones in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Utilize the magnetic feature to keep the earbuds together and prevent tangling of the flat cable.
Sweat Proof Design
The iLuv Metal Forge Air 2 features a sweat-proof design, making them suitable for active lifestyles. However, they are not waterproof. Avoid submerging them in water or exposing them to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your iLuv Metal Forge Air 2 earphones, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Power: Ensure the earphones are fully charged. Connect them to a power source and check the charging indicator.

- Make sure the earphones are in pairing mode (LED flashing red and blue alternately).
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and it is within 30 feet (9 meters) of the earphones.
- Try turning off and on your device's Bluetooth, or restarting your device.
- If previously paired, try "forgetting" the device in your phone's Bluetooth settings and re-pairing.
- No Sound or Low Volume:
- Check the volume levels on both the earphones and your connected device.
- Ensure the earphones are properly paired and connected.
- Verify that the audio source is playing.
- Intermittent Disconnections / Turns Off Frequently:

- Minimize interference from other wireless devices (Wi-Fi routers, other Bluetooth devices).
- Poor Sound Quality:
- Ensure the ear tips are correctly sized and seated in your ears for optimal noise isolation and sound delivery.
- Clean the ear tips and speaker grilles to remove any debris.
