Setup
1. Charging the Earbuds and Case
Before first use, fully charge your Nokia Power Earbuds Lite and their charging case. Connect the provided USB cable to the charging case and a power source. The LED indicators on the case will show the charging status. Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in the case for them to charge.
2. Pairing with Your Device
- Automatic Power On and Pairing: When you remove the earbuds from the charging case, they will automatically power on and attempt to pair with each other.
- Bluetooth Connection Mode: Once the earbuds have successfully paired with each other, the LED indicator light on the right earbud will flash blue and red alternately. This indicates that the earbuds are ready to connect to your Bluetooth device.
- Connect to Your Device: On your smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled device, navigate to the Bluetooth settings. Turn on Bluetooth and select "Nokia Power Earbuds Lite" from the list of available devices to connect.
- Connection Confirmation: During the connection process, the LED indicator light on the right earbud will continue to flash blue and red alternately. Once successfully connected via Bluetooth, the LED indicator lights on both earbuds will flash blue approximately every 5 seconds.
After the initial pairing, the earbuds will automatically connect with your Bluetooth device whenever they are taken out of the charging case, provided Bluetooth is enabled on your device.

Touch Controls
The Nokia Power Earbuds Lite feature intuitive touch controls for managing your audio and calls.

Waterproofing (IPX7)
These earbuds are rated IPX7 waterproof, meaning they can withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. This makes them suitable for use during workouts, in light rain, or near water. However, they are not designed for swimming or prolonged submersion. Always ensure the earbuds are dry before placing them back in the charging case.
