A rapid charge feature allows for 2 hours of play after just 10 minutes of charging.
2. Pairing with Your Device
To pair your earbuds with a new device:
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device (e.g., smartphone, tablet).
- Open the charging case with the earbuds inside. The earbuds will automatically enter pairing mode.
- On your device, search for "Rail ANC" in the Bluetooth settings and select it to connect.
- Confirm the pairing request if prompted.
The earbuds support Multipoint Pairing, allowing connection to two devices simultaneously. They will seamlessly switch between devices without needing to re-pair.

Operating Your Earbuds
Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Stay-Aware Mode
The Rail ANC earbuds feature advanced noise-cancelling technology that actively mutes ambient sounds. You can adjust the level of noise cancellation, including a "Stay-Aware" mode that allows you to hear your surroundings while still enjoying your audio. These modes can be controlled via the Skull-iQ App or through the earbud's touch controls (customizable in the app).
Voice Control
Utilize hands-free voice commands for various functions. Refer to the Skull-iQ App for a full list of available voice commands and their functionalities.

Maintenance
Cleaning Your Earbuds
Regularly clean your earbuds, especially the ear tips and charging contacts, to ensure optimal performance and hygiene. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Water Resistance
The Skullcandy Rail ANC earbuds are water-resistant. While they can withstand sweat and light splashes, they are not designed for submersion. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or liquids.

- Ensure the earbuds and charging case have sufficient battery charge.
Earbuds Not Charging in Case
