• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the charging case. If necessary, you can also wipe the external surface of the charging case with 70% alcohol. Make sure the charging case is dried naturally before putting the earbuds back.
• Use a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush to clean any crumbs from the charging port.
• Use a clean, dry, pointed cotton swab to gently wipe the surface of the charging contacts of the charging case.
• Do not use a damp cloth. Do not use excessive force when wiping to avoid deformation or surface damage to the contact points of the charging post inside the charging case.

If your earbuds have been in contact with sweat, body wash, shampoo, or other liquids, or if worn during exercise, please make sure the surface of the earbuds and the charging contacts are clean and dry before putting the earbuds into the charging case.

Clean the sound hole, air outlet and microphones: Use a clean, dry, pointed cotton swab to gently brush out the dirt and earwax from the hole or mesh, then wipe clean with a soft cloth.

Health instructions

• If you experience itching, redness, or other signs of irritation, we recommend that you immediately stop using and clean the earbuds, and observe whether your discomfort More settings resolves spontaneously.
