Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean your earbuds and charging case to ensure optimal performance and hygiene. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For ear tips, you may gently wipe them with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly before reattaching. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Storage
When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them from dust and damage. Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Water Resistance (IPX7)
The APEKX earbuds feature an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning they can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes them suitable for intense workouts and use in rainy conditions. However, the charging case is not waterproof. Do not submerge the charging case in water. Ensure earbuds are dry before placing them back into the charging case to prevent damage to the charging pins.
