5.3 Using in Water (Swimming Mode)

When using the headphones for swimming or other underwater activities, it is crucial to switch to MP3 mode. Bluetooth signals do not transmit effectively underwater.

• Before entering the water, press the Mode button to switch to MP3 mode.
• For optimal sound quality underwater, use the included earplugs to block out water noise.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After use, especially after swimming, rinse the headphones with clean fresh water to remove chlorine or salt. Wipe them dry with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the headphones in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Charging Port: Ensure the magnetic charging contacts are clean and dry before charging to prevent corrosion.
• Waterproofing: While IP68 rated, avoid prolonged submersion beyond recommended depths (up to 2 meters) or durations (up to 2 hours). Do not charge the headphones if they are wet.

7. Troubleshooting

• Headphones not powering on: Ensure the headphones are fully charged. Connect to the charger and wait a few minutes before attempting to power on again.
• No sound: Check the volume level on both the headphones and your connected device. Ensure the headphones are correctly paired (Bluetooth mode) or have music loaded (MP3 mode). Try switching modes.
• Cannot pair via Bluetooth: Ensure the headphones are in pairing mode (flashing red and blue LED). Turn off and on Bluetooth on your device. Try forgetting the device in your Bluetooth settings and re-pairing. Move closer to your device.
• MP3 files not transferring or recognized by computer: Ensure the magnetic charging cable and transfer port are securely connected. Try a different USB port on your computer. Restart your computer. Verify that the audio files are in a supported format (MP3, FLAC, WMA, WAV).
• Buttons unresponsive: Try resetting the headphones by holding the Power button for 10-15 seconds until it powers off, then power it back on. If the issue persists, ensure the headphones are dry and clean.
