Quick Tips
- Dry the earbuds completely before placing them in the charging case.
- The left or right earbud can be used independently for music and phone calls. Simply select one and remove it from the case to connect.
- Choosing the correct ear tip significantly improves sound quality due to proper seal for the driver. For best results, try all ear tip placements.
- Only ONE Bluetooth device can be configured at a time. Turn off Bluetooth on unwanted devices and turn on Bluetooth on the desired device to connect.
Caution
- Avoid extreme heat, cold, and humidity.
- Avoid dropping or crushing the earbuds, damaging the cable by pulling it sharply or applying extreme force, or bending the cable at a sharp angle.
- Earwax may accumulate on the earbud tips, which can reduce sound quality. Carefully remove earwax with a cotton swab or other small instrument to improve sound quality.
- If you experience discomfort or pain, try lowering the volume or temporarily stop using them.
- If you regularly experience discomfort while using this product, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
- We recommend caring for your earbuds as you would a pair of fine eyeglasses and keeping them in a safe place when not in use.
Warning: Dry the earbuds completely before placing them in the charging case. If the earbuds are wet or damp, it will cause damage to the charging case. If the charging case shows water/sweat damage, the warranty will be voided.
