5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KZ Axas earphones, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the ear tips with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove the silicone ear tips and wash them with mild soap and water, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching. Gently wipe the earphone units and cable with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store your earphones in a clean, dry place, preferably in a protective case, to prevent tangling and damage.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the cable to prevent internal wire damage. The detachable design allows for easy cable replacement if needed.
• Moisture: The earphones are moisture resistant, but avoid prolonged exposure to water or high humidity. Do not submerge them in liquid.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your KZ Axas earphones, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Sound:
  • Ensure the earphones are securely connected to the cable and the cable is fully inserted into your device's port.
  • Check your device's volume settings and ensure it's not muted.
  • Test the earphones with another device to rule out a device-specific issue.
  • If using the DSP cable, try switching between EQ modes to see if sound returns.
• Microphone Not Working:
  • Ensure the microphone switch on the in-line control is not muted.
  • Check your device's microphone input settings.
  • Test the microphone with another application or device.
• Poor Sound Quality/Distortion:
  • Ensure ear tips are clean and provide a good seal in your ear canal.
  • Check for any damage to the cable or earphone units.
  • Adjust the volume on your device; excessively high volume can cause distortion.
