SWIMMING WITH H2O TRI
WHICH MODE SHOULD I USE?
When swimming, we recommend using the Memory Mode – as this will provide you
the uninterrupted sound without the need of additional devices.
Use PLAYLIST+ to load music from Bluetooth and listen to it underwater!
If you have a music-enabled smartwatch like the Apple Watch – you can use this
as the source for your audio while swimming. However, you need to place the
smart watch with in 2-3 inches from the headphones. Put the watch under your
swim cap or use the H20 Audio Apple Watch Clip (sold separately).
NOTE: The Bluetooth range underwater is only few inches (due to the laws of physics)
HOW TO WEAR DURING SWIMMING:
Use your swim goggle strap or swim cap over the headphones to better keep the
headphones in place.
TIP
For the best audio experience, we recommend using earplugs to reduce the
ambient sound of water splashing.
