Before first use, fully charge both the earbuds and the charging case.

2. Connect the USB charging cable to the charging port on the case and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter).
3. The LED indicators on the charging case will illuminate to show charging status. The earbuds' LEDs will also indicate charging.
4. Once fully charged, the indicators will change or turn off. Disconnect the charging cable.

2. Pairing with a Bluetooth Device

The SENTRY BT985 earbuds are designed for easy pairing.

1. Initial Pairing:
   a. Open the charging case. The earbuds will automatically power on and enter pairing mode. The LED indicator on one earbud will flash rapidly (e.g., blue and red) to indicate it's ready to pair.
   b. On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth.
   c. Search for "BT985" in the list of available Bluetooth devices.
