Setup

1. Charging the Headphones and Case

Before first use, fully charge the headphones and the charging case. The charging case provides additional battery life for your earbuds on the go.

  • Place both earbuds into the charging case. Ensure they are properly seated.
  • Connect the supplied USB-C cable to the charging port on the case and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter).
  • The indicator lights on the case will show charging status. A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours for the case.

2. Pairing with Your Device

The headphones are ready to pair as soon as you take them out of their charging case. They will remember the last device they were paired with.

  • Open the charging case and remove both earbuds. They will automatically enter pairing mode.
  • On your device (smartphone, tablet, laptop), go to Bluetooth settings and turn Bluetooth on.
  • Select "PHILIPS T1207" from the list of available devices.
  • Once connected, you will hear an audible confirmation, and the indicator lights on the earbuds will change.

3. Finding the Right Fit

A secure and comfortable fit is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent the earbuds from falling out. The package includes three sizes of ear tips.

  • Try each size of ear tip to find the one that creates a snug seal in your ear canal.
  • Gently insert the earbud into your ear and twist slightly to ensure a secure fit.
  • If the earbud tips do not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly, you may not obtain the correct sound qualities or call performance.
