4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SOUNDPEATS Chasers earphones, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the earphones and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
- Water Resistance: The earphones are IPX5 water-resistant, meaning they can withstand splashes and sweat. Do not submerge them in water or expose them to heavy rain. Ensure the charging port is dry before charging.
- Storage: When not in use, store the earphones in their charging case to protect them from dust and damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Charging: Charge the earphones regularly, even if not used frequently, to maintain battery health.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SOUNDPEATS Chasers, please refer to the following common solutions:
5.1. Connectivity Issues
- Earphones not pairing: Ensure the earphones are charged and within range of your device. Try placing them back in the case, closing it, and then reopening to re-enter pairing mode.
- Intermittent connection/sound drops: Move closer to your device. Avoid environments with strong electromagnetic interference. If using LDAC, consider switching to a different codec or disabling multi-point connection, as LDAC can be more sensitive to interference, especially outdoors.
- Only one earphone working: Place both earphones back into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open the lid and try connecting again.
5.2. Sound Quality Issues
- Poor bass or thin sound: Ensure the earphones are positioned correctly on your ears. Utilize the 'Dynamic EQ' feature in the 'PeatsAudio' app, which is designed to enhance bass and overall sound presence for open-ear designs. Adjust the equalizer settings in the app to your preference.
- Sound leakage: While open-ear designs naturally allow some sound to pass through, SOUNDPEATS Chasers incorporate proprietary internal structures to minimize leakage. Ensure the earphones are seated properly.
5.3. Charging Issues
- Earphones not charging: Ensure the charging contacts on both the earphones and the case are clean and free of debris. Verify the charging cable is securely connected and the power source is active.
- Case not charging: Check the Type-C cable and power adapter. Try a different cable or power source.
If problems persist, please contact customer support.
