NOTE: When the charging case lid is closed, charging case battery status is displayed. If the charging case has no remaining charge, there will be no display and it cannot function. We recommend you keep the charging case charged at all times as the earbuds are not able to be turned on and turned off independently.
UVnano Description
UV-C LED process operates for ten minutes and begins when charging case (with earbuds) is plugged in.
UV-C LED does not operate while device is charging wirelessly such as on a pad or third party wireless charging device (this only applies to HBS-FN6).
- Independent testing shows the UVnano charging case kills 99.9% of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) on the speaker mesh of the earbuds in ten minutes while charging. The UV-C LED function works only when the charging case is connected to the power cable.
-For best result, it is recommended that the full 10 minutes of UV-C LED operation be performed while charging.

<![endif]>ENGLISH
NOTE: The status indicator light blinks slowly during the UV-C LED operation.
The light will slowly illuminate on and off until the UV-C LED function is complete (10 minutes). Once completed, the indicator light will switch back to the always-on battery indicator, see "Battery Status".
HBS-FN4 and HBS-FN5W models do not have a UV-C LED and mood light. Performance may vary based on usage conditions.
A white product may slightly differ in the color of the UV-C LED contact area, but there is no problem with the product performance.
UV-C LED does not operate while charging wirelessly.
CAUTION: Be aware that the temperature of the earbuds may rise while the UV-C LED is operating. Avoid direct eye and skin exposure to UV light.
Keep out of reach of children.
Out of Range
If the device connected to the product is out of effective communication range, the communication signal becomes weak and the communication is lost. The effective communication range may vary depending on surrounding and other conditions.
If the device comes back within effective communication range, the product automatically reconnects to the device. If the device is not automatically reconnected, touch the left or right earbud once to
connect them.
