2 Rotate the eartip between a plus and minus 20° range to achieve an optimal fit and sound experience.

powered on.
Your headphones will announce battery status.
“Battery full” = fully charged
“Battery level high” = medium to fully charged
“Battery level medium” = medium
“Battery level low” = less than 1 hour remaining
“Recharge headset” = under 15 minutes remaining

If you leave your headphones powered on but out of range of your paired phone
for more than 10 minutes, your headset will conserve its battery power by
entering into a DeepSleep mode.
Once back in range with your phone, press the Power button to exit DeepSleep
mode. If your phone is also ringing, tap the Call button again to answer your
call.
Stay connected
Bluetooth has a working “range” of up to 33 feet between the phone and the
headphones before audio degrades and the connection is lost.
Your headphones try to reconnect after a lost Bluetooth connection. If they
can’t, tap any button once or manually reconnect via the phone’s Bluetooth
device menu.
Backbeat FIT Updater app
Update the firmware for your Backbeat FIT over your Bluetooth connection using
the Backbeat FIT Updater mobile application. The Updater app is available for
both iOS and Android and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or
GooglePlay respectfully.
1 Make sure that your headphones are paired and connected to your phone.
2 Tap the “Update Firmware” button on the homescreen of the app.
3 Keep your headphones and phone within close range of each other during the
update.
4 You will be prompted to plug your headphones into a power source to initiate
the update. The update will start automatically once this step has been
performed. The indicator light flashes purple when Backbeat FIT is in update
mode.
You will be automatically notified when new firmware is released and by
keeping your Backbeat
FIT up to date you can ensure your headset is performing at its best.
