Hearing Safety

⚠️ Danger

To avoid hearing damage, limit the time you use headphones at high volume and set the volume to a safe level. The louder the volume, the shorter the safe listening time is.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your earpieces:

• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume continuously upwards as your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Excessive sound pressure from earpieces and headphones can cause hearing loss.
• Using headphones with both ears covered while driving is not recommended and may be illegal in some areas.
• For your safety, avoid distractions from music or phone calls while in traffic or other potentially dangerous environments.

Charge the battery

? Note:

• Before you use your earpieces for the first time, place them in the charging box and charge the battery for 2 hours for optimum battery capacity and lifetime.
• Use only the original USB-C charging cable to avoid any damage.
• Finish your call before charging the earpieces, as connecting them for charging will power them off.

Charging

Connect one end of the USB cable into the charging box, and another end into the power source.

➡️ The charging box starts charging.

• Charging process is verified by the LED light on the front panel.
• When the charging box is fully charged, the light goes off.

? Tip:

• The charging box serves as a portable backup battery for charging the earpieces. When the charging box is fully charged, it supports 2 times full recharge cycle for the earpieces.
• Normally, a full charge takes 2 hours (for the earpieces or charging box) by USB cable.

Pair the earpieces with your Bluetooth device for the first time

1. Make sure that the earpieces are fully charged.
2. Open the top cover from the charging box.

➡️ The LED on both earpieces flashes in white & blue alternately.

➡️ The earpieces are now in pairing mode and are ready to pair with a Bluetooth device (e.g., a mobile phone).

3. Turn on the Bluetooth function of your Bluetooth device.
4. Pair the earpieces with your Bluetooth device. Refer to the user manual of your Bluetooth device.

? Note:

• After powering on, if the earpieces cannot find any previously connected Bluetooth device, they will automatically switch to pairing mode.

Pair the earpieces with another Bluetooth device

If you have another Bluetooth device that you want to pair with the earpieces, make sure the Bluetooth function in any other previously paired or connected devices are turned off. Press and hold over 5 seconds both left & right side simultaneously with earpiece on ear, release when Pairing voice prompt is heard.

? Note:

• The earpieces store 4 devices in the memory. If you try to pair more than 4 devices, the earliest paired device is replaced by the new one.

Single earpiece (Mono mode)

Take either the right or left earpiece out from the charging box for Mono use. The earpiece will power on automatically. There will be a voice “Power on” from the earpiece.

? Note:

• Take the second earpiece from the charging box and they will pair each other automatically.

Connect the earpieces to your Bluetooth device

1. Turn on the Bluetooth function of your Bluetooth device.
2. Open the top cover from the charging box.

➡️ The blue LED flashes.

➡️ The earpieces will search the last connected Bluetooth device and reconnect to it automatically. If the last connected device is not available, the earpieces will enter pairing mode.
