Maintenance

- Remove ear tips and clean them separately with mild soap and water if necessary, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Water Resistance (IPX7)
The BX17 earbuds are IPX7 waterproof, meaning they can withstand splashes, sweat, and rain. They are suitable for sports and workouts. However, they are not designed for swimming or prolonged submersion in water. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging.

Storage
When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them and keep them charged. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are in the charging case, then open the lid to activate pairing mode. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and "BX17" is selected. Try forgetting the device on your phone and re-pairing.
- Only one earbud working: Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open it again. This often re-syncs them.
- No sound: Check the volume level on both your device and the earbuds. Ensure the earbuds are properly connected to your device.
- Charging issues: Ensure the Type-C cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Check if the charging contacts on the earbuds and inside the case are clean and free of debris.
- Poor sound quality: Ensure the ear tips provide a good seal in your ear canal. Try different sized ear tips. Clean the earbud speakers if necessary.
