Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Gently wipe the ear tips and charging contacts to remove any debris.
7.2. Storage
When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them and keep them charged. Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
7.3. Water Resistance
The SANSUI W28 earbuds are IPX4 waterproof, meaning they are resistant to splashes of water from any direction. This makes them suitable for workouts and light rain. They are not designed for swimming or submersion in water.
8. Troubleshooting
- Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are in the charging case, then open the lid to initiate pairing mode. If issues persist, perform a factory reset.
- No sound from one earbud: Place both earbuds back in the case, close the lid, then open it again. Check if both are connected to your device.
- Low volume or poor sound quality: Adjust the volume on your device and the earbuds. Ensure ear tips are correctly sized and seated for a proper seal. Clean any debris from the earbud nozzles.
- Earbuds not charging: Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Check for any debris in the charging port or on the earbud contacts.
- Factory Reset: Open the charging case lid, then long-press the button under the charging case for 5 seconds. When the external blue indicator light on the case flashes quickly 5 times and the earbuds power off while disconnecting from Bluetooth, the reset is successful.
