Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Skullcandy Dime 3 earbuds, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the ear gels and charging contacts with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them from dust and damage.
• Water Exposure: While IPX4 rated for sweat and water resistance, avoid submerging the earbuds in water. Dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
• Temperature: Do not expose the earbuds to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) as this can affect battery life and performance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Dime 3 earbuds, try the following solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the earbuds and charging case are fully charged.
• Pairing Issues: Turn off Bluetooth on your device, then turn it back on. Remove "Dime 3" from your device's paired list and attempt to re-pair. Ensure earbuds are in pairing mode.
• One Earbud Not Working: Place both earbuds back in the case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then remove them. This often re-syncs them.
• Poor Sound Quality: Ensure ear gels are properly fitted to create a good seal. Try different sized ear gels. Clean any debris from the earbud nozzles.
• Controls Not Responding: Ensure earbuds are powered on and connected. Try resetting the earbuds (refer to the full user guide for specific reset instructions if needed).
