If there is sweat or liquid on the charging contacts, corrosion may occur on the
earbuds. Clean the charging contacts and earbuds before storing the earbuds in the
chargingcase.
Battery
Charge the battery
Fully charge the battery before using the earbuds for the first time or when they have been
unused for extended periods. The earbuds will power on while charging. When the battery is
completely discharged, it needs at least 20 minutes to turn on.
The charging case, which has a built-in battery, is charged along with the earbuds. You can
charge the earbuds by placing them into the charging case without connecting to an electric
socket.
Charging head for plugging USB cable into wall outlet is not included. Use only
Samsung charging devices rated with an output voltage of 5v and an output current
of over 500mA (sold separately). Samsung accessories are designed for your device to
maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may
cause damage.
• You cannot use your earbuds’wireless features while charging the battery.
• When there is sweat or liquid on the charging terminal or earbuds, clean
them before charging the battery.

and should not aect the earbuds’lifespan or performance. If the battery gets
hotter than usual, the charger may stop charging.
• If the earbuds and the charging case are completely discharged, it may take a
while for them to start charging.
• If the earbuds and charging case are not charging properly, take them with the
charger to a Samsung Service Center.
• Avoid bending the charger. Doing so may damage or reduce the lifespan of the
charger. Never use a damaged charger.

various devices over short distances. It can connect and exchange data with other Bluetooth
enabled devices, such as mobile devices, without connecting through cables.
• To avoid problems when connecting your earbuds to another device, place the
devices close to each other.

Bluetooth connection range (5 m). The distance may vary depending on the
environment the devices are used in.
• Ensure that there are no obstacles between the earbuds and a connected
device, including human bodies, walls, corners, or fences.
• Do not touch the Bluetooth antenna of a connected device.
• Bluetooth uses the same frequency as some industrial, scientic, medical, and
low power products and interference may occur when making connections
near these types of products.
• Some devices, especially those that are not tested or approved by the Bluetooth
SIG, may be incompatible with the earbuds.
• Do not use the Bluetooth feature for illegal purposes (for example, pirating
copies of les or illegally tapping communications for commercial purposes).
