Voice Assistant

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean your earbuds and charging case to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For ear tips, gently remove them and clean with a mild soap solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Storage
When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them from dust, damage, and to keep them charged. Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are charged. Place them back in the case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open the lid to re-enter pairing mode. Delete "HOCO EQ3" from your device's Bluetooth list and try pairing again.
- Only one earbud working: Ensure both earbuds are charged. Try placing both earbuds back in the case, closing the lid, and then reopening it. This often resets the connection between the two earbuds.
- No sound: Check the volume level on your connected device. Ensure the earbuds are properly paired and selected as the audio output.
- Charging issues: Verify the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the charging case and the power source. Ensure the charging contacts on the earbuds and inside the case are clean and free of debris.
- Voice assistant not responding: Ensure the earbuds are connected to your device and that the voice assistant feature is enabled on your device.
