- When headphones are switched off:
  1. Keep the [+] button pressed for 5 seconds to switch on and enter pairing mode.

Suunto App Integration:

The Suunto app enhances the Suunto Wing experience, allowing users to adjust Head Movement Control, sound mode, light mode, and other settings.

Pair Suunto Wing with your mobile device.
Download and install the Suunto app.
Start the Suunto app.
The app automatically connects to the headphones.
Access the headphones menu in your profile to adjust settings.

Wearing the Headphones:

Suunto Wing headphones are bone conduction, open-ear style, allowing users to hear surroundings while listening to audio. For proper use, place the headphones at the back of the head, with hooks on the ears and transducers in front of the ears, keeping the back parallel to the ground. They are lightweight and stable, suitable for various activities and can be worn with helmets or hats. Earplugs are included for better acoustic experience in noisy conditions.

Head Movement Control:

This hands-free function allows users to switch audio tracks and answer/decline calls by nodding and shaking their head.

Activation: Activate in the Suunto app or by pressing the multifunction button and the [-] button simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Music control: Shake your head twice to switch to the next track.
Call control: Nod twice to answer an incoming call or shake your head twice to decline it.
Note: Ensure head movements are sufficiently large and completed within 1 second. Allow at least 5 seconds between operations. This feature may cause false triggering during exercise and increases battery consumption by about 15%. It is intended for auxiliary operation, and users should prioritize safety and manual control for critical actions.

LED Lights:

Red LED lights on the sides enhance visibility in darker conditions.

Control: Turn on/off or switch between static and blinking modes via the Suunto app or by long-pressing the [-] button.
Note: LED lights do not replace professional protective equipment. Visibility may be affected by environmental factors. They increase battery consumption by about 50%. A protective coating on the lights may wear off over time, which is normal and does not affect quality.

Sound Mode:

Users can choose between a normal sound mode for everyday use and light exercises, and an outdoor sound mode with higher volume for outdoor training and noisy conditions.

Switching: While listening to audio, keep the multifunction button and the [+] button pressed simultaneously for 3 seconds. Can also be changed in the Suunto app.
Note: Noise may occur at high volume levels. Prolonged use at high volumes can cause hearing damage and sound distortion. Wearing headphones may impact awareness of surroundings; prioritize safety.

Voice Feedback:

With a voice feedback capable Suunto watch, users can receive valuable information during exercise from their phone, providing progress updates and indicators.

Activation on watch before exercise:
1. Scroll down to "Voice feedback" and select.
2. Toggle "Voice feedback from app" on.
3. Select desired voice feedback options.
4. Ensure headphones are on and paired with the Suunto app.
5. Start exercise.
Activation on watch during exercise:
1. Press the upper button to pause.
2. Select "Options," then "Voice feedback."
3. Toggle "Voice feedback from app" on.
4. Select desired voice feedback options.
5. Ensure headphones are on and paired with the Suunto app.
6. Resume exercise.

Low Latency Mode:

This mode reduces sound delay when listening to audio or watching video.

Note: Requires the compatible device to support APTX Adaptive Bluetooth audio. After pairing, switch the audio format to APTX Adaptive in the device's Bluetooth settings. Some devices may require separate activation of low latency mode. The effect may vary based on device model, system version, app, and content type.

Maintenance Features:

Device Info and Software Updates:

Device info: Check software version and other details in the Suunto app.
Software updates: Updates add improvements. Headphones must be connected to the Suunto app and have at least 20% battery. Internet connection is required to download updates. A popup will offer updates when available. Keep headphones connected during the process.

Resetting the Headphones:

To delete all settings, reset the product. While charging, keep the multifunction button pressed for 5 seconds. The red LED lights will blink twice, and a sound will play to confirm the reset.

Note: Resetting deletes Bluetooth pairing records, requiring re-pairing for future use.

Handling Guidelines:

Handle with care; avoid knocking or dropping.
Do not store under heavy items to prevent deformation.
Resistant to sweat and rain, but avoid prolonged soaking.
Clean with a soft dry cloth, paying attention to microphones, buttons, and charger pins.
Normally, no servicing is required.
Use only original Suunto accessories; damage from non-original accessories is not covered by warranty.

Battery and Charging:

Battery performance varies with usage and conditions (e.g., low temperatures reduce duration). Rechargeable battery capacity decreases over time.

Charging time: Fully charged in one hour, providing up to 10 hours of music.
Low battery: Alarm tone every 5 minutes and blinking red LED lights when battery is below 5%.
Battery status: Check in the Suunto app when connected.
Charging methods: Use the supplied USB cable or portable power bank.
- USB cable: Connect the magnetic end to the charging port. Headphones switch off automatically when charging starts. LED lights are on during charging and turn off when fully charged.
- Power bank: Included in the package, offers an additional 20 hours of battery life. Charge the power bank with a USB-C cable (not included). Check power bank battery status by pressing the button on the front (lights blink, each representing 25% capacity). To charge headphones, insert them into the holes on top of the power bank. Headphones switch off automatically. LED lights on headphones turn on, and power bank lights blink for one minute. LED lights on headphones turn off when fully charged.
Note: Ensure charging ports are in contact for charging to begin (lights on headphones and blinking lights on power bank confirm contact).
Safety: Before charging, ensure charging ports of both headphones and power bank are free from residual liquid, as liquid can cause damage. Do not charge wet headphones to prevent fire or electrical shock.

Disposal:

Dispose of the device according to local regulations for electronic waste. Do not discard in general garbage. Return to the nearest Suunto dealer if desired.
