Power Management

  • Microphone Battery Life: Each microphone provides approximately 5 hours of working time on a full charge.
  • Charging Case Capacity: The charging case can recharge the microphones up to 2-4 times on a single charge, extending usage time significantly.
  • Power Off: To turn off a microphone, long-press the power button (located on the side) for approximately 10 seconds. Placing them back in the charging case will also power them off and begin charging.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphones, receiver, and charging case. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the microphones in their charging case to protect them and keep them charged. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the batteries frequently. Recharge the charging case periodically even if not in active use.
