Maintenance

- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the earbuds and case frequently. Charge them regularly, even if not in constant use.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the earbuds or case to extreme heat or cold, as this can damage the battery and internal components.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| Earbuds not pairing | Ensure earbuds are charged. Place them back in the case, close the lid, wait 5 seconds, then remove them to re-enter pairing mode. Check your device's Bluetooth settings and forget/remove "Dime 2" if previously paired, then try pairing again. |
| Only one earbud playing audio | Ensure both earbuds are charged. Place both earbuds back in the case, close the lid, and then remove them simultaneously. This often re-syncs them. If the issue persists, try resetting the earbuds (refer to Skullcandy support for specific reset instructions). |
| No sound or low volume | Check the volume level on both your device and the earbuds. Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in your ears. Clean any debris from the earbud speakers. |
| Charging issues | Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Try a different Micro-USB cable and power adapter. Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case. |
