Setup

1. Charging the Earphones and Case

Before first use, fully charge both the earphones and the charging case. Connect the provided charging cable to the charging port on the case and to a USB power source. The indicator lights on the case will show charging status. Once fully charged, the indicator lights will change or turn off.

  • Place the earphones into the charging case, ensuring they are properly seated. The earphones will begin charging automatically.
  • A full charge provides approximately 3.5 hours of continuous listening. The charging case extends the total listening time significantly.

2. Pairing with Your Device

The Monoprice TWE-04 earphones utilize Bluetooth 5 for a stable wireless connection.

  1. Ensure the earphones are charged.
  2. Open the charging case. The earphones will automatically enter pairing mode, and their indicator lights will flash (typically blue and red, or just blue).
  3. On your device (smartphone, tablet, computer), go to the Bluetooth settings.
  4. Search for new devices and select "Monoprice TWE-04" (or similar name) from the list of available devices.
  5. Once connected, the earphone indicator lights will stop flashing and may turn off or show a steady blue light. You will hear an audible confirmation.

Troubleshooting Pairing Issues (Single Earbud or No Pairing):

If you experience issues with only one earbud working or difficulty pairing both earbuds together, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure any clear plastic covers on the earbud charging contacts have been removed.
  2. Fully charge both earbuds and the charging case.
  3. Remove both earbuds from the case.
  4. Press and hold the buttons on both earbuds simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds until their indicator lights flash rapidly or turn off. This performs a reset.
  5. Return both earbuds to the charging case and close the lid.
  6. Wait a few seconds, then open the lid and remove the earbuds. They should now attempt to pair with each other.
  7. Go to your device's Bluetooth settings, forget or remove any previous "Monoprice TWE-04" entries, and then attempt to pair again as described in step 2-5 above.

Operating Instructions

Controls

The TWE-04 earphones feature intuitive controls, typically located on the outer surface of each earbud. Specific functions may include:

  • Play/Pause: Single press on either earbud.
  • Next Track: Double press on the right earbud.
  • Previous Track: Double press on the left earbud.
  • Answer/End Call: Single press during an incoming call or active call.

Wearing the Earphones

For optimal sound quality and comfort, ensure the earphones are properly seated in your ears. Gently insert each earbud into the corresponding ear canal (L for left, R for right) and twist slightly until a secure and comfortable fit is achieved. Experiment with different ear tip sizes if provided, to find the best seal for your ears.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your earphones.

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe the earphones and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For ear tips, remove them and clean with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly before reattaching. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the earphones in their charging case to protect them from dust, dirt, and physical damage.
  • Water Resistance: While IPX4 rated (sweat and splash resistant), do not submerge the earphones in water or expose them to heavy rain. Dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
  • Battery Care: Avoid fully depleting the battery for extended periods. Charge regularly, even if not used frequently, to maintain battery health.
