How to couple or link a new replacement earbud with an old one

If you recently damaged or lost one of your earbuds set and bought a replacement, you can easily connect the original earbud to the newly purchased earbud. Coupling is required to adjust the volume and delay between both earbuds. Follow the steps below to self-couple your earbuds.

Step 1. Check the direction of each earbud, the newly purchased earbud and original earbud, and correctly insert them into their corresponding slots in the charging case.

Step 2. Touch and hold both earbuds touch areas for 7 seconds or more. The earbuds battery indicator light will flash green and then return to the initial light. Then, the earbuds are coupled.

Step 3. When the earbuds are coupled, you will be able to reconnect to your compatible devices.
