Before initial use, fully charge both the XCOR PRO Ear Buds and their charging case. Place the earbuds into the charging case, ensuring they are seated correctly. Connect the provided USB-C cable to the charging case and a compatible power source. The charging case holds enough power for approximately two additional full re-charges of the earbuds.

2. Selecting and Installing Ear Tips

The XCOR PRO Ear Buds include various sizes and styles of ear tips (foam and silicone) to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Achieving a proper seal is essential for optimal hearing protection and sound performance.

• Foam Tips: Provide up to 29 dB SNR / 23 dB NRR. To install, compress the foam tip by rolling it between your fingers, insert it into your ear canal, and hold it in place until it expands to form a tight seal.
• Silicone Tips: Provide up to 28 dB SNR / 22 dB NRR. Select the size that fits snugly and comfortably in your ear without causing discomfort.

3. Bluetooth Pairing

1. Ensure the earbuds are charged and removed from the charging case. They should automatically enter pairing mode.
2. On your desired device (e.g., smartphone, tablet), navigate to the Bluetooth settings.
3. Locate and select "AXIL XCOR PRO" or a similar name from the list of available devices.
4. A voice prompt or indicator light on the earbuds will confirm successful pairing.

Hear Control Technology

Bluetooth Audio and Communication

Once successfully paired with your device, the XCOR PRO Ear Buds can be used for wireless audio playback, managing phone calls, and even two-way communication when connected to compatible Bluetooth-capable radios.

• Music/Audio Playback: Control audio playback (play, pause, skip tracks) directly from your connected device.
• Calls: Answer, end, or reject incoming calls using the earbud controls (refer to specific gestures in the quick start guide if available).

Maintenance

Cleaning

Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain the performance and hygiene of your earbuds.

• Wipe the surface of the earbuds and the charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• For ear tips, remove them from the earbuds and clean with a mild soap solution if necessary. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the earbuds or charging case in water.

Storage

When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case. This protects them from damage and ensures they remain charged. Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

• No Power/Not Charging: Ensure the USB-C charging cable is securely connected to both the case and a working power source. Verify that the charging case itself has sufficient power.
• No Sound/Poor Sound Quality: Check the Bluetooth connection to your device. Ensure the ear tips are properly seated to create a good seal in your ear. Adjust the volume levels on both the earbuds and your connected device.
• Bluetooth Disconnection: Confirm that the earbuds are within the effective range of your connected device. If disconnections persist, try unpairing and then re-pairing the earbuds with your device.
• Hear Control Not Working: Verify that the Hear Control feature is activated via the touch control area as described in the Operating Instructions. Check the battery level of the earbuds.
• Earbuds Not Pairing with Each Other: Place both earbuds back into the charging case, close the lid for a few seconds, then remove them. This action often resets their internal connection.
