Maintenance

Cleaning

• Gently wipe the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or chemical solvents.
• Remove eartips and clean them separately with mild soap and water if necessary, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.

Storage

• Store the earbuds in their charging case when not in use to protect them and keep them charged.
• Avoid storing in extreme temperatures or high humidity.

Water Resistance (IPX4)

The earbuds are rated IPX4, meaning they are resistant to splashing water from any direction. They are suitable for sports and light rain but should not be submerged in water or exposed to heavy water jets.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound: Ensure earbuds are charged, properly connected (2.4GHz dongle or Bluetooth), and the volume on both the earbuds and your device is turned up.
• Connection Issues: Try re-pairing the earbuds. For 2.4GHz, unplug and re-plug the dongle. For Bluetooth, forget the device on your phone and re-pair.
• Microphone Not Working: Check if the microphone is muted on your device or in the application you are using. Ensure earbuds are securely in place.
• Earbuds Not Charging: Ensure the charging cable is securely connected and the power source is active. Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and the case.
• Low Latency Not Achieved: Ensure you are using the 2.4GHz dongle connection for optimal low latency performance, especially for gaming.
