Maintenance

Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and hygiene of your earbuds. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the earbuds and charging case. Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or chemical solvents. Avoid getting moisture in any openings.

Storage

When not in use, store the earbuds in their charging case to protect them from dust and damage. Store the case and earbuds in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Water Resistance

The earbuds are IPX6 water resistant, meaning they can withstand powerful water jets. However, they are not designed for submersion in water. Do not use them while swimming or showering. If they get wet, wipe them dry thoroughly before placing them back in the charging case.

Troubleshooting

  • Earbuds not pairing: Ensure both earbuds are charged. Place them back in the case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open the lid to re-enter pairing mode. Check your device's Bluetooth settings and try reconnecting.
  • Only one earbud working: Try placing both earbuds back in the charging case, closing the lid, and then taking them out again. Ensure both are charged. If the issue persists, try resetting the earbuds (refer to the full manual for specific reset procedures if available).
  • No sound or low volume: Check the volume level on both your connected device and the earbuds. Ensure the earbuds are properly seated in your ears.
  • Charging issues: Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Try a different USB port or power adapter. Clean the charging contacts on the earbuds and inside the case with a dry cotton swab.
  • Poor call quality: Ensure the earbuds are properly positioned. Check for any obstructions near the microphone. Move closer to your connected device to avoid signal interference.
