Operating Instructions
The HISHELL Language Translator Earbuds offer three primary translation modes, along with standard audio functions.
Translation Modes

- Touch Mode:
Two people each wear one earphone. Click or double-click the earphone to translate in real-time. This mode is suitable for acquaintances who are willing to wear your earphone.

- Speaker Mode:
One person wears the earphones, and the other person holds the mobile phone. The phone's speaker will output the translation. This mode is suitable for strangers or situations where it's inconvenient for the other person to wear an earphone.
- Free Talk Mode:
Both users wear an earphone. The device translates in real-time, allowing for natural, continuous conversation without needing to press buttons. This mode facilitates smooth and uninterrupted communication.
Music and Call Functions
In addition to translation, the earbuds function as standard Bluetooth headphones:
- Music Playback: Once connected via Bluetooth, you can stream audio from your device. Use your phone's media controls for play/pause, skip tracks, and volume adjustment.
- Phone Calls: The earbuds support hands-free calling. Answer/end calls directly through the earbuds (refer to the APP Translation User Manual for specific touch controls). The binaural HD microphone ensures clear communication.
