Galaxy Buds charging tips and precautions
Note: The information below is for Galaxy Buds2 Pro. Please refer to the user manual of each model for the exact function and usage.
Charging the battery
- If you are using the earbuds for the first time after purchasing, or if they have not been used for a long time, fully charge the battery before use. When charging the battery for the first time, or when the battery is completely discharged, the earbuds require at least 10 minutes of charging time to turn on.
- Check the direction of the earbuds, then insert them into the grooves of the left and right slots of the charging case and connect the charger.
- The charging case has a built-in battery, and when connected to a charger, it charges along with the earbuds in the case. The earbuds will charge even if the charger is not connected to the charging case.
Note:
- Unplug the charger when not in use to conserve energy.
- Since the charger does not have a power switch, you should disconnect the charger from the wall outlet to prevent power consumption.
