Setup and Pairing

Follow these steps carefully to pair your new left earbud with your existing AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) and charging case.

Detailed Pairing Instructions:

1. Step 1: Forget your Earbuds from the Bluetooth list
   • Open settings on your device.
   • Navigate to the Bluetooth list.
   • Find your AirPods and select "Forget This Device" to remove them from your iOS device.
2. Step 2: Charge your Earbuds
   • Plug the charging case into a power source.
   • Place the new earbud into the charging case.
   • Ensure your iPhone/iPad is close to your earbuds (side by side) when charging.
   • Allow the earbuds to charge for at least 30 minutes. For older AirPods or if firmware versions differ, it may take 2-3 hours or more for proper synchronization.
3. Step 3: Reset your Earbuds
   • Unplug the charging cable from the case.
   • Open the lid of the charging case.
   • Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for approximately 15 seconds, until the status light on the front of the case flashes amber, then white.
   • Close the lid of the charging case.
   • Note: If the reset does not work, repeat Step 2 and wait for more time before attempting Step 3 again.
4. Step 4: Connect your Earbuds
   • With your AirPods in their charging case and the lid open, place your AirPods close to your iPhone or iPad.
   • Follow the on-screen prompts on your device to connect.

Important Note: If you encounter a "Mismatched AirPods Pro" error, this is a known bug. Ensure both the left and right earbuds are compatible models. If the issue persists, please refer to the troubleshooting section or contact support.

Operating the Earbud

Once successfully paired, your Meenova left earbud will function identically to an original AirPod Pro (2nd Generation) earbud. Place it in your ear for audio playback and calls. The earbud will automatically connect to your paired device when removed from the charging case and within range.

Charging:

To charge the earbud, place it inside your compatible AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) Lighting charging case. Ensure the charging case itself is charged. If you charge the charging case in advance, you can use it to charge the earbud when you are away from a power supply.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your earbud, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the earbud with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive materials, alcohol, or other harsh chemicals.
• Storage: When not in use, store the earbud in its charging case to protect it from dust and damage.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the earbud dry. Avoid exposure to water, sweat, or excessive humidity.
• Handle with Care: Avoid dropping the earbud or subjecting it to strong impacts.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Meenova left earbud, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Earbud Not Pairing/Connecting:
  • Ensure you have followed all steps in the Setup and Pairing section, especially forgetting the device from Bluetooth and performing a full reset.
  • Charge the earbud and case for an extended period (e.g., overnight) to ensure sufficient power and firmware synchronization.
  • Verify that the model numbers of your existing earbud (if any) and charging case are compatible with the replacement earbud (A2931, A2698, A2699 earbud; A2700 Lighting case).
  • Ensure your iPhone/iPad is physically close to the charging case during the pairing process.
• "Mismatched AirPods Pro" Error:
  • This error can occur if the firmware versions of the left and right earbuds are not synchronized or if there's a compatibility issue. Re-attempt the full pairing process, including extended charging.
  • Double-check that both your original earbud (if applicable) and the replacement earbud are indeed AirPods Pro 2nd Generation (Lighting port compatible models).
• Earbud Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charging case has sufficient power.
  • Check that the earbud is properly seated in the charging case.
  • Clean the charging contacts on both the earbud and inside the case with a dry cotton swab.
