Operating Modes
The Timekettle M2 offers three primary translation modes to suit different communication scenarios:
1. Touch Mode
In this mode, each person wears one earbud. Simply tap the force sensor on the earbud to activate voice pick-up. Spoken sentences are simultaneously translated, allowing for natural, two-way conversations.
2. Listen Mode
Ideal for capturing short conversations in a group setting. Place your phone on the table, and the M2 earbud will translate the captured audio for you to listen to.
3. Speaker Mode
This mode uses one earbud and your phone. You speak into the phone, and the translation is vocalized through the phone's speaker, or vice versa. This is suitable for short, simple interactions where sharing an earbud is not practical.
Key Features

Offline translation is available for specific language pairs (e.g., Chinese to English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Korean, Russian, German; English to Japanese, French, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Russian, German) without an internet connection.
- Superior Sound Quality: Features Qualcomm aptX Audio technology for high-quality music playback and clear phone calls. Powered by Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0 chip for stable connection. (Note: Translation function is not supported during calls or music playback).
- Smart Touch Control: Easily control music playback, answer/reject calls, and activate voice assistants (compatible with Apple and Google) with intuitive touch gestures.
- Ultra Battery Life: Up to 6 hours of listening/translating per charge, extended to 30 hours with the portable charging case. Ideal for extended travel.
- Ergonomic Design & Sweatproof: Secure-fit design for all-day comfort. IPX4 sweat- and water-resistant rating makes them suitable for various activities.


Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Timekettle M2 earbuds, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the earbuds in their charging case when not in use to protect them from dust and damage. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Charging: Use the provided USB-C cable for charging. Avoid overcharging or completely draining the battery frequently to prolong battery life.
- Water Resistance: While IPX4 rated (sweat and splash resistant), do not submerge the earbuds in water or expose them to heavy rain. Dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Timekettle M2 earbuds, refer to the following common solutions:
Bluetooth Pairing Issues
If the earbuds fail to pair or connect, try these steps:
- Ensure both earbuds are charged and placed in the charging case.
- Delete "Timekettle M2" from your device's Bluetooth paired devices list.
- Reset the earbuds by placing them in the charging box and pressing the buttons 4 times quickly (yellow lights flashing). This deletes previous Bluetooth connections.
- Take out M2 and press the buttons 2 times, and hold it for 3 seconds. This will re-pair the left earbud with the right earbud (LED lights show in green and red).
- Repeat the pairing process from the "Setup" section.
