Case 2| When using the Bluetooth device in the pocket of the chest or
pants, or a bag while listening to the audio.
If the engine ear is diagonal to the Bluetooth device, it will affect the
Bluetooth signal. As human body is the biggest source of signal blocking.|
When put the Bluetooth device in a pocket or bag, move the Bluetooth device to
a place where there are no obstacles between Bluetooth device and earbuds
(such as the human body) for Bluetooth communication.
Case 3| When using the earbuds closes to the other Bluetooth devices.
The earbuds may be affected by these radio waves when using them in a
location with a mixture of multiple radio waves.| Turn off the Bluetooth
function of the other Bluetooth devices.
Case 4| When using the device away from the earbuds, such as in a
different room.
Bluetooth communication gradually becomes weaker the further away Bluetooth
earbuds are placed from a Bluetooth player. When using Bluetooth earbuds and a
Bluetooth player in different rooms with the doors closed, Bluetooth
communication may be weak.| Keep the Bluetooth earbuds as close to the
Bluetooth player as possible.
Case 5| When a lot of applications are running at the same time when
use the Bluetooth function.| Quit apps which you are not using on the
device to reduce the load.
What can I do if the earbuds stopped connecting to my device?
- Clear the pairing record between the earbuds and all of the previous devices.
- Try to clear some Bluetooth listings on your device and restart the device.
- Put the earbuds into the charging case to reset.
- Activate Bluetooth on the device, and choose “SOUNDPEATS Engine 4” on Bluetooth list to pair.
What can I do if the left earbud and the right earbud won’t work together?
- Please use a bit of light sandpaper or microfiber cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol to clean the charging connectors to ensure the earbuds charge well.
- Put them into the charging case to reset.
What can I do if the earbuds connect to my phone, but not my Mac- book/computer?
- Unpaired the earbuds from the phone, then the earbuds will lose Bluetooth connection to the phone.
- Put the earbuds into the charging case to reset.
- Then open the Bluetooth of your Mac-book/computer to connect.
- If those do not help, you may need to update your computer’s Bluetooth driver. There is no driver for it. Bluetooth drivers must come from the specific manufacturer for your exact computer model. Download and install the appropriate Bluetooth driver from the computer vendor’s website, then restart your system before attempting to pair and connect to your SoundPEATS earbuds.
Why is the signal intermittent when I am outdoors?
In the outdoors, the Bluetooth signal will be interfered, such as subways,
high-speed rails, trains, dense traffic lights, car engines and so on. And if
the phone is in your pocket, and the engine ear is diagonal to the phone, it
will affect the Bluetooth signal. As human body is the biggest source of
signal blocking. So when the left earbud is the engine earbud, please put your
phone in the left pocket, which will be better.

How to charge the charging case?

What should I do if the charging case won’t charge?
Please try to use another known working charging cable to charge the charging
case for more than 10 hours through your computer. Compared to other
electronics, the headphones are low power products. Hence for charging
safety, please do not use fast charger.
Why are the earbuds still connecting to my phone after placing them back and close the case lid?
- The charging case has no remaining power. Placing the earbuds back into the charging case can’t turn them off if the case battery is dead.
- Please make sure the earbuds are correctly placed in the charging case, and make sure the charging contacts are clean. Please try to clean the places between the charging case and the earbuds with something like a microfiber cloth.
Does the earbuds not use for a long time without charging cause the earbuds
not to turn on or the battery to drain quickly?
In fact, the battery of the earbuds needs maintenance. Actually you need to
charge your electronics at least every three months, if not, the earbuds can
cause deep self-discharge by not charging for a long time, damaging the
battery. In addition, not using the earbuds for a long time, and earbuds
storage location is not dry, moisture will also cause damage to the earbuds.If
you haven’t used your headphones for several months, the battery is probably
dead.
At this point, we suggest that you first check whether the charging case has
power (whether the indicator light is on) and whether the charging contact at
the bottom of the earbuds and charging case is dirty. If there is dirt, please
clean the charging contact at the bottom of the charging case with dry cloth
or dry paper towel. As for earbuds not turn on or the battery drain rapidly
when earbuds are taken out of the case, we recommend you to repeatedly place
the earbuds into the charging case for 2 hours and close the cover. Please try
it for 1-2 days.

control your music, answer calls, and activate your voice assistant. To use
the touch controls, tap on the earbud to play/pause music, answer/end calls,
and activate your voice assistant. Swipe up or down to adjust the volume, and
double-tap to skip to the next track.
What can I do if the touch controls do not work always?
- Please touch the middle of the control zone. And when your hand is wet, the touch control may not work, please keep your hand dry.
- Please try to skip the songs more times, you will find the best frequency to control the earbuds. When you don’t find the frequency you may think the earbuds don’t work, please give it some patient.
