Using in Water (Swimming)

When swimming, it is crucial to use the headphones in MP3 mode. Bluetooth signals cannot transmit effectively underwater, leading to signal loss. Ensure your music is loaded onto the device's internal 32GB storage before entering the water.

For optimal fit and to prevent displacement during vigorous swimming, consider wearing a swim cap over the headphones.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• After use, especially after swimming or intense exercise, rinse the headphones with clean fresh water.
• Wipe the headphones dry with a soft, clean cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the waterproof seals and materials.

Storage

• Store the headphones in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on the headphones.

Water Resistance

The Hostena SwimBeats X16 headphones are IP68 rated, meaning they are protected against continuous immersion in water up to 2 meters deep. This rating ensures protection against dust, sweat, and rain. However, it is important to:

• Ensure the charging port is dry before connecting the magnetic charging cable.
• Avoid exposing the headphones to saltwater for extended periods without rinsing, as salt can cause corrosion over time.
• Do not intentionally submerge the headphones beyond the specified depth or duration.
