Sentry BT969 Wire-Free Earbuds

Getting Started

1. Using your BT969 True Wireless Earphones

Before use: Charge both earbuds by placing them inside the charging case and pressing the button on the front of the case once to start charging.

STEP 1 Turn off the Bluetooth function from your music device (e.g., Mobile phone or music device).

STEP 2 Fully charge the earbuds and case. Take out the earbuds from the charging case after they have charged; they will turn on automatically, even if not charging. If earbuds are not powered on, press and hold the power button on both earbuds simultaneously for about 3 seconds until the blue and red lights start to flash. Then release.

STEP 3 Wait about 8-10 seconds for the two earbuds to connect to each other automatically. If the two earbuds are not pairing, quick double-press the left earbud and wait about 8 seconds for pairing. One earbud will flash red+blue, and the other will flash blue.

STEP 4 You can now turn on the Bluetooth function of your mobile phone. Search and select BT969. Wait 5 seconds. Both earbuds will have no lights flashing, and a voice will say "Connected." They are now ready to use with your device.

2. Using your BT969 True Wireless Earphones After Setup

Turn off the Bluetooth function on your phone or device. Press the power-on button on both earbuds for 3 seconds simultaneously to turn them on. Wait 8 seconds for them to connect automatically.

Autopair: Alternatively, if both earbuds are inside the charging case, press the charging/awake button (Fig. 2) on the front of the case. A blue light will indicate the earbuds are awake. Remove the earbuds from the case, wait 3 seconds, and they will be ready to pair with your Bluetooth device. Turn on your Bluetooth function on your device, and it should automatically pair with the BT969 earbuds.

3. Turning off the earbuds

Press and hold the left and right earbuds simultaneously for about 3 seconds; the earbuds will power off (Fig. 1).

4. Charging the Earphones

a) Power off the earbuds and place both inside the Charging Case.

b) The case will charge the earbuds automatically after placing them inside, or press the button on the front of the case to start charging (Fig. 2). A blue light indicates charging (Fig. 3). Before charging the earbuds, ensure the charging case is fully charged (see point 5).

Note: It takes approximately 1.5 hours to charge the earbuds. The Charging case will automatically stop charging when the earbuds are fully charged. To stop charging at any time, press the charging button again.

5. Case Charging

Plug the charging cable into the case. A flashing red light indicates charging; charge for a minimum of 2 hours. (The charging case must be fully charged to charge the earbuds.) The charging complete indicator will change from flashing red to solid red.

6. Music functions

When listening to music, short-press the button on either earbud: one press for music playing, one press for music pause.

When the earbuds have very low battery power, one earbud will turn off to save power while the other continues to play.

7. Phone calls

Picking up a phone call: Short-press the button on the left earbud to answer the call and short-press again to end the call. Long-press (2 seconds) to reject the call.

Troubleshooting

Earbuds not connecting to your device:

1. Ensure both earbuds are fully charged.
2. The music device should be within 5 meters of the earbuds and free from interference from other Bluetooth devices.
3. If the earbuds are on, turn them off by pressing the power button for 3 seconds, and follow Steps 1-4 again to reconnect the earbuds and the phone.

If only one earphone is working:

1. Ensure both units are properly charged.
2. The mobile or music device should be within 5 meters of the earbuds.
3. Reset your earbuds by following steps 1-4.

If the volume is low:

1. Turn up the volume on your device.
2. Ensure your mobile device is fully charged and within 5 meters range.

If earbuds are not charging or not holding a charge:

1. Ensure the charging case is fully charged (See point 5).
2. Place the earbuds inside the charging case and press the button on the front of the case once. A blue light will show, indicating it is charging the earbuds.
3. Always turn off the earbuds before putting them back in the charging case. Press the button on both earbuds for 3 seconds to power off (Fig. 1).

If earbuds are not pairing correctly after some time:

1. Delete the earbuds from your phone via the phone's Bluetooth settings.
2. Reset the earbuds by long-pressing both buttons on the earbuds for 10 seconds.
3. Follow Step 1-4 on the first page of this manual to re-pair your earbuds to your phone device. Also, check that the earbuds and charging case are fully charged.
