Call Echo
If you experience microphone echo or reduced call quality with your JBuds Air Icon, ensure the cushion fin is not blocking the microphone port.

Quick Tips
To avoid damaging the charging case, ensure earbuds are completely dry before placing them in the case. Earbuds are sweat/water resistant, but the case is not.
You can connect one earbud to your device and use it individually. They will automatically connect when removed from the charging case.
Choosing the right ear tip will significantly improve sound quality by blocking out sound leakage. Try all ear tips for the best fit and performance.
Warning
To avoid damaging the charging case, ensure earbuds are completely dry before placing them in the charging case. The earbuds are water resistant, but the case is not.

Precautions
Avoid extreme heat, cold, and humidity.
Do not drop or crush the earbuds.
Earwax buildup on the earbud tips can degrade sound quality. Carefully clean earwax with a dry cotton swab or other small tool.
If you experience discomfort or pain, lower the volume or discontinue use temporarily.
If you experience regular discomfort during product use, discontinue use and consult a physician.
Treat your earbuds with the same care as you would a nice pair of sunglasses; store them in a safe place when not in use.
