Operating Instructions
Translation Modes
The Timekettle M3 offers several translation modes to suit different communication scenarios:
Image: Depicts the three primary translation modes: Touch Mode (two people each wearing an earbud), Listen Mode (phone picks up speech), and Speaker Mode (one person wears earbuds, phone acts as speaker).
- Touch Mode: Ideal for one-on-one, in-depth conversations. Each participant wears one earbud. Simply touch your earbud to speak, and the other person will hear the translation in their earbud.
- Listen Mode: Suitable for lectures, presentations, or listening to a speaker. Your phone will automatically pick up sentences and translate them into your desired language, playing the translation through your earbuds.
- Speaker Mode: Use this for short conversations, such as asking for directions or ordering food. You can wear both earbuds, and your smartphone will act as a speaker for the translation, or you can use your smartphone directly.
Advanced Translation Technology
- Natural and Instant Translation: The M3 utilizes patented natural interpretation technology to automatically segment speech into logical sentences, providing a fluent conversation experience without awkward pauses.
- AI Semantic Segmentation Technology: This revolutionary technology minimizes delays in long conversations (e.g., conferences, classes). It allows you to hear translations of previous sentences seamlessly as the speaker continues, ensuring smooth, instant understanding.

- Offline Translation: The M3 supports 13 offline language packs. Download these packs in advance via the Timekettle app to enable translation without an internet connection.
Audio Features
- Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): The M3 earbuds feature ANC with a maximum depth of 30dB, ensuring clear audio for both translation and music playback by reducing ambient noise.
- Music Playback & Phone Calls: Beyond translation, the M3 functions as standard Bluetooth earbuds, allowing you to enjoy music and make/receive phone calls with high-quality audio.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Timekettle M3 earbuds. The bundle includes an earbuds cleaning pen for this purpose.
