Clean the Ear (1) earbuds using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth, dry cotton swab or baby wipes.
Do not use sharp objects or abrasive materials.
Does Ear (1) use power when not in use?
Ear (1) has a built-in timeout feature, which automatically turns the earbuds off when not in use.
Should I worry about leaving Ear (1) connected to the charging source for longer than is required?

- Amber indicates 10 - 30% battery level.

- Red indicates your charge is very low, and should be connected to a charger.

- Balanced

- Voice

Change the EQ in the Nothing X app via the "Hear" tab whenever Ear (1) is connected.
Can I use just one of my earbuds?
Yes. When using both earbuds, simply place one earbud back into the charging case. Alternatively, remove one earbud from the case and use it independently.
How do I mute the microphone during a call?
Ear (1) has no mute button. Mute calls via the software in use on your chosen device.
