4. Operating Your Earbuds

Touch Controls:

The earbuds feature intuitive touch controls on their outer surface.

Note: Volume control is typically managed via your connected source device.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) & Ambient Mode:

Toggle between ANC On, ANC Off, and Ambient Mode using the touch controls or the Phiaton app. Ambient Mode allows you to hear your surroundings while still enjoying your audio, which is useful for safety or conversations.

Smart Pause (Auto Play):

When enabled in the app, the earbuds will automatically pause playback when removed from your ears and resume when reinserted. This feature helps conserve battery and ensures you don't miss any content.

The Bonobuds Plus can be used individually. If you remove one earbud, the other will continue to function, allowing you to charge one while using the other.

5. Charging and Battery Life

Charging the Case:

The charging case supports both USB-C cable charging and wireless charging (Qi-compatible). Connect the included USB-C cable to the port on the back of the case, or place the case on a compatible wireless charging pad. Some modern Android phones also support reverse wireless charging, allowing you to charge the case directly from your phone.

Indicator Lights:

A small LED indicator on the front of the charging case shows the charging status. Tiny lights on the earbuds themselves also indicate their charging status when placed in the case.

6. Maintenance

Water Resistance:

The Bonobuds Plus are IPX4 water resistant, meaning they are protected from splashing water from any direction. This makes them suitable for workouts and light rain, but they should not be submerged in water.

Eartip Selection and Fit:

The earbuds come with multiple sizes of eartips. Selecting the correct eartip size is crucial for optimal sound quality, bass response, and effective noise cancellation. Experiment with different sizes to find the best possible seal and comfort for your ears.

7. Troubleshooting

• Connection Issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the earbuds are in pairing mode. Try unpairing and re-pairing if issues persist.
• Sound Quality: Check eartip fit. A poor seal can significantly impact bass and overall audio quality. Ensure your audio source is using a high-quality codec like aptX Adaptive if supported.
• ANC Performance: A proper eartip seal is essential for effective noise cancellation. Ensure the earbuds are seated correctly in your ears.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the Phiaton app for firmware updates. Updates can improve performance, fix bugs, and add new features.
