Setup
Charging the Earbuds and Case
Before first use, fully charge the earbuds and the charging case.
- Place the earbuds into the charging case. Ensure they are correctly seated in their respective slots (L for left, R for right).
- Connect the USB-C charging cable to the charging port on the case and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port).
- The indicator lights on the earbuds and/or case will illuminate to show charging status. Once fully charged, the lights will typically turn off or change color. The charging case takes approximately 120 minutes to fully charge.
Initial Pairing
Follow these steps to pair your earbuds with your Bluetooth-enabled device:
- Ensure the earbuds are charged.
- Open the charging case. The earbuds will automatically enter pairing mode, and their indicator lights will flash.
- On your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), go to the Bluetooth settings.
- Search for available devices and select "Clarity 101" from the list.
- Once connected, the earbud indicator lights will stop flashing, and you will hear a confirmation tone.
The earbuds will automatically reconnect to the last paired device when removed from the case, provided Bluetooth is enabled on your device and it is within range.
