charging clip to the back of the
controller and insert
the micro USB end of your included

USING THE
CHARGING CLIP
TO CHARGE
YOUR BUDS
In addition to using the USB charging
cable, your charging clip can charge
your buds without having to be
connected to a power source. Your
charging clip has an internal battery
and circuitry that extends your play
time by 4 hours. Simply attach it to
the back of the controller and it
automatically starts charging.
Every time you attach the charging
clip it will reset your bud by turning
them OFF. You may turn your buds
back ON and continue to listen to
your music while the charging clip
is attached and transferring power.
NOTE: Do not use your buds while the USB
cable is plugged into a power source. Doing
so could cause an electric shock if your power
source develops a electrical fault.
