Please read all safety warnings and instructions before using this product to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.

• Hearing Protection: Prolonged exposure to loud sounds can cause permanent hearing damage. Set the volume to a moderate level before putting on the earbuds.

2. Open the protective cover of the charging port.
3. Connect the supplied USB charging cable to the charging port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter).

5. Once charging is complete, disconnect the cable and securely close the protective cover to maintain water resistance.

3.2 Fitting the Earbuds

Proper fit is crucial for sound quality, noise isolation, and comfort. Experiment with the different ear tips and ear fins provided to find the best fit for your ears.

• Ear Tips: Choose from the S, M, or L silicone ear cushions, or the memory foam/noise isolation tips. Gently twist and push the ear tip onto the earbud nozzle until it is securely attached.
• Ear Fins: If a more secure fit is desired, attach the ear fins. These are designed to tuck into the concha of your ear to prevent the earbuds from falling out during activity.
• Placement: Insert the earbud into your ear canal and gently twist until it feels snug and comfortable. The neckband should rest comfortably behind your neck.
