Helpful Tips & Important Precautions
Helpful Tips
- You can use either the left or right earbud independently for music playback and phone calls. Simply remove one earbud from the case to initiate connection.
- The earbuds support connection to only one Bluetooth device at a time. To connect to a different device, ensure Bluetooth is turned off on any previously connected devices, then enable Bluetooth on your desired new device.
- Always ensure the earbuds are completely dry before placing them into the charging case to prevent any potential damage.
Warning
To prevent damage to the charging case, do not charge the earbuds if they are wet or damp. If the charging case exhibits any signs of water or sweat damage, the warranty will be void. [Visual: A warning icon ⚠️ indicating potential damage].
Precautions
- Avoid exposing the earbuds to extreme temperatures (heat or cold) and high humidity.
- Do not drop or crush the earbuds, as this may cause damage.
- Earwax accumulation on the earbud tips can negatively affect sound quality. Carefully clean any earwax using a cotton swab or a similar small tool to restore optimal audio performance.
- If you experience any discomfort or pain during use, please reduce the volume or temporarily discontinue using the earbuds.
- Should you experience persistent discomfort while using the product, cease usage immediately and consult a medical professional.
- Handle your earbuds with care, much like you would a pair of premium sunglasses. Store them in a safe and secure location when they are not in use.
