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.

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.

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.
