2. Safety Information

• The M20 earbuds provide a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 26dB. Ensure proper fit to achieve maximum noise reduction effectiveness.
• Do not use these earbuds in environments where noise levels exceed the product's specified protection capabilities.
• Always ensure the earbuds are functioning correctly before entering a noisy environment.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

To power on the earbuds, press and hold the button on each earbud for approximately two seconds. The earbuds will automatically power off after 2 hours of inactivity or when placed back into their charging case.

5.2 Operating Modes

The M20 earbuds feature two distinct modes to optimize sound performance in different environments:

• Indoor Mode: Designed to reduce echo in enclosed spaces. Activate this mode by holding the button for two seconds until a low beep is heard.
• Outdoor Mode: Designed to reduce shooting reverberation in open environments. Activate this mode by holding the button again for a longer beep.

5.3 Noise Reduction and Ambient Sound

The earbuds actively suppress harmful noises above 82 dB, protecting your hearing. Simultaneously, they allow ambient sounds below this threshold to pass through, enabling improved situational awareness and clear communication in noisy settings.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the eartips and earpieces cover with a soft, damp cloth to maintain hygiene and optimal acoustic performance. Ensure the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case are clean and dry.
• Storage: Always store the earbuds in their charging case when not in use. This protects them from damage and ensures they remain charged for your next use.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Earbud Not Charging or Turning On

• Ensure the earbuds are correctly seated in their charging slots within the case.
• Verify that the charging case itself has sufficient battery charge.
• Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the case with a dry cotton swab to remove any debris or residue.
• Try resetting the earbuds by placing both back into the case, closing the lid for a few seconds, and then reopening it.

7.2 Insufficient Noise Reduction

• Confirm that you are using the correct size eartips and earpieces cover for a tight and comfortable seal in your ear canal. An improper fit can significantly reduce noise reduction effectiveness.
• Ensure the correct operating mode (Indoor or Outdoor) is selected for your specific environment.
• For extremely loud environments or larger caliber firearms, supplementary hearing protection (e.g., earmuffs over the earbuds) may be necessary, though the M20 earbuds are designed to be highly effective on their own.

7.3 Sound Quality Issues

• Check for any debris or earwax obstructing the earbud openings. Clean carefully if necessary.
• Ensure the earbuds are fully charged, as low battery can affect sound performance.
