Maintenance and Care
Charging Your Earbuds and Case
The compact charging case provides additional battery life for your earbuds. To charge the case, connect the provided USB-C cable to the charging port on the case and to a power source.
The Moto Buds 150 offer a total of 18 hours of playtime: up to 6 hours from a single charge of the earbuds, and an additional 12 hours provided by the charging case.
IPX5 Water Resistance
Your Moto Buds 150 are IPX5 water-resistant, meaning they are protected against sweat, light rain, and splashes. This makes them suitable for everyday use and workouts.
Important: While water-resistant, the earbuds are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Moto Buds 150, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are removed from the case and are showing blinking blue and red lights. If not, place them back in the case, close it, wait a few seconds, then reopen and remove them. Check your device's Bluetooth settings to ensure Bluetooth is enabled and try searching for devices again.
- No sound or low volume: Check the volume level on both your connected device and the earbuds. Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in your ears and that the ear caps provide a good seal. Try cleaning the earbud mesh if it appears blocked.
- Disconnections: Ensure the earbuds are within the effective Bluetooth range (typically 10 meters or 33 feet) of your device. Avoid physical obstructions between the earbuds and your device. Try resetting the earbuds by placing them in the charging case, closing the lid, and then reopening after a few seconds.
- Charging issues: Verify that the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the charging case and the power source. Check if the charging contacts on the earbuds and inside the case are clean and free of debris.
For persistent issues, please refer to the support section or contact customer service.
