2. Align the 2-pin connector with the corresponding socket on the earphone unit.
3. Gently push the connector straight into the socket until it is firmly seated. Do not force the connection.
4. Repeat for the other earphone unit.

Connect the 3.5mm jack of the earphone cable to your audio source (e.g., smartphone, digital audio player, computer). Ensure the volume is set to a low level before playing audio to prevent hearing damage.

3.2 Using the Four-Position Dip Switch (PTC):

The Arpegear Hane features a unique four-position dip switch on each earphone unit, allowing you to customize the sound signature. Each switch can be toggled ON or OFF, providing up to 16 different tuning combinations. Use the included tuning tool to adjust the switches.

4. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the earphone units and ear tips with a soft, dry cloth. For ear tips, you may use a mild soap and water solution, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Storage: When not in use, store the earphones in the provided carrying pouch to protect them from dust, dirt, and physical damage.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the cable. Store it neatly to prevent tangling.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the earphones away from water and high humidity.
• Temperature: Do not expose the earphones to extreme temperatures.

5. Troubleshooting

• No Sound:
  • Check if the cable is securely connected to both the earphones and the audio source.
  • Ensure the audio source is playing and its volume is turned up.
  • Test with a different audio source or cable to rule out component issues.
• Poor Sound Quality / Muffled Sound:
  • Ensure the ear tips form a proper seal in your ear canal. Try different sizes or types of ear tips.
  • Clean any debris from the earphone nozzles and ear tips.
  • Check the dip switch settings; an incorrect setting might affect perceived sound quality.
• Sound Imbalance (one side louder/softer):
  • Verify the cable connections are secure on both left and right channels.
