Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Timekettle W4 Pro earbuds, refer to the following tips:
- Language Setting: Ensure the earphone you wear corresponds to the language you speak. If the language of the left and right earbuds is set opposite to the language spoken by the interlocutor, it may result in incorrect sound pickup and translation.
- Wearing Method: Avoid wearing both left and right earbuds on your own ears when using Simul/Touch mode. The distance between the two parties should be at least 1 meter, and the earphone handle should not point to the other party's mouth.
- Environment Setting: Adjust the "Ambient Noise" setting in the app according to your speaking speed and the surrounding environment (quiet or noisy). In a noisy environment, it is recommended to move to the right "Noise" setting.
- Speaking Speed Setting: Adjust a suitable Pause Duration and Translation Audio Playback speed according to your speaking speed. A suggestion for Pause Duration is to move to "Shorter", and Translation Audio Playback is set at 1.25x.
- Network Environment: Check your network connection when using online translation. A poor network may result in longer latency and inaccuracy.
- Accents Setting: For specific languages with several accents, select the correct accent when speaking in that language.
- Clarity of Speech: To maintain the integrity of the sentence when speaking, speak at a normal volume and speed. Avoid using slang, professional vocabulary, or proprietary vocabulary that may not be recognized by the translation engine.
