NOTE: this product can only be paired with one smartphone at a time..

For your next uses, you no longer need to pair your earphones, they'll instantly be detected by the phone..

If you don't see "DS 500" in the list of devices, here are potential reasons why:
> The earphones are already connected to another one of your devices. In this case, disconnect Bluetooth on the other device.
> The earphones have switched themselves off (10 minutes out of the box without a connection / 10 minutes without music). In this case, switch them on again.To do this, put them back in their charging case, close the lid, and then take them out again.Another way to switch them on is to press and hold for 5 seconds on each earphone.

Assessing the level of charge

The level of charge is displayed on the charging unit when the charging unit is closed.If 4 lights are on, it means the charging unit is 100% charged; if 2 lights are on, it's at 50%; if none are on, it's at 0%.

Place the earphones in the charging case and press the button on the case, holding it down for 5 seconds.This allows the earphones to forget the last connected device in order to pair a new one.

Difficulties of use

The music occasionally cuts off while I'm listening to it.

If you're experiencing any brief interruptions, make sure nothing is obstructing the Bluetooth signal around your phone.Some phone cases can interfere with the signal.If you put the phone in your pocket, take care to position the screen facing outwards and not towards your body.
Your smartphone should stay within a maximum distance of 10 metres without any obstacles in the way (such as walls, trees, metal, etc.).
