Setup

1. Charging the Earbuds and Case

Before first use, fully charge the earbuds and the charging case. Place the earbuds into the charging case. Connect the USB charging cable to the charging case and a power source. The indicator lights on the case will show the charging status. A full charge provides approximately 6 hours of playback for the earbuds, with the charging case offering additional charges for a total of up to 24 hours of battery life.

2. Pairing with a Bluetooth Device

  1. Ensure the earbuds are charged.
  2. Open the charging case. The earbuds will automatically enter pairing mode, indicated by flashing lights (refer to specific light patterns in a separate guide if available).
  3. On your device (smartphone, tablet, laptop), go to Bluetooth settings.
  4. Enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
  5. Select "SOUL S-GEAR" from the list of detected devices.
  6. Once connected, the earbuds will indicate successful pairing (e.g., a voice prompt or solid light).
  7. The earbuds will automatically reconnect to the last paired device when removed from the case and within range.

3. Selecting and Fitting Ear Tips

For optimal sound quality and comfort, select the ear tips that best fit your ears. Experiment with the different sizes provided. Gently insert the earbuds into your ear canal and twist slightly to secure a snug fit. A proper seal enhances bass response and noise isolation.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Remove ear tips and clean them separately with mild soap and water if necessary, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
  • Water Resistance: The earbuds are IPX4 water-resistant, meaning they are protected against splashing water from any direction. They are not designed for submersion in water or for use during swimming. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging.
