Caution & Quick Tips
Caution:
- Completely dry the earbuds before placing them in the charging case. If the earbuds are wet, it may cause damage to the charging case. The warranty will be voided if the charging case is damaged by water or sweat.
- Avoid getting any moisture or liquids into the earbud or charging port.
- Avoid exposing the earbuds to extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
- Avoid dropping or crushing the earbuds, straining the wire, or bending it at sharp angles.
Quick Tips:
- Either the right or left earbud can be used independently for music and phone calls. Simply remove one from the case to connect.
- Only one Bluetooth device can be connected at a time. Turn off Bluetooth on unwanted devices and turn it on for the desired device to connect.
- Completely dry the earbuds before placing them in the charging case to prevent any damage.
- Earwax buildup can reduce sound quality. Carefully clean earwax using a cotton swab or other fine tools.
- If you experience any pain, try lowering the volume or discontinuing use of the earbuds for a short period. If pain persists, stop use and consult a doctor.
- Treat your earbuds with care, similar to how you would handle glasses; keep them in a safe place when not in use.
