Function Description:
The Avantree Repose earbuds provide wireless audio playback and hands-free calling capabilities via Bluetooth 5.0.

- Volume Adjustment Note: Users are advised to adjust the volume on both the earbuds and their phone to achieve the lowest volume levels.
- TV Connectivity: While technically connectable to smart TVs via built-in Bluetooth, significant audio delays may occur. To utilize the FastStream codec for no lip-sync delays, pairing with a FastStream-compatible transmitter (e.g., Avantree Orbit or Audikast) is recommended.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Regular cleaning of the earbuds before and after use is recommended to prevent potential damage and eliminate sound muffling issues. Dry cotton swabs or similar tools can be used to gently wipe dust, earwax, and oil from the earbud tips.
- Charging: The earbuds are charged via a micro USB port using the provided cable. They should be connected to a 5V/500mA-2A rated USB adapter (like a phone charger) or a PC USB port.
- Non-Replaceable Earbud Tips: The Repose earbuds feature smaller-than-average, optimized earbud tips for sleeping comfort, and these tips are not replaceable. If the fit is unsuitable, Avantree offers a 60-day return policy for a full refund, provided the product is undamaged. Alternative models like NB18 and NB16 are suggested for different needs.
