Listen to the Ambient Sound (LAS)

The Listen to the Ambient Sound (LAS) function allows you to listen to the ambient sound so that you can recognize the surrounding situation and any potential risks.

The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) function blocks any ambient sound. So, you can use the function to listen to the music or watch a video without interference.

You can set the LAS and ANC functions in the LG TONE Free app.

If you use the LAS or ANC function, the battery consumes faster, reducing the time you can use the product.

You can use the LAS and ANC functions while being idle, listening to music, or being on the phone.

NOTE: ANC is an acronym for Active Noise Cancellation.

CAUTION: When the LAS mode is enabled, you may hear the ambient sound become loud suddenly. When using the ANC function outdoors, pay attention to the surrounding environment for safety.

If you charge the earbuds wired after mounting them on the charging case and closing the cover, the UVnano LED operates for 10 minutes.

*UVnano is a compound word derived from the words UV and its unit, nanometer.

NOTE: The UVnano indicator turns on blue while the UVnano LED is on.

The UVnano LED in the charging case eliminates up to 99.9% of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli inside the earbud hole.
In the case of a white product, discoloring may occur in the contact area of the UVnano LED, but it does not affect the product function.
