GETTING STARTED WITH INDY™ Wireless

FIRST TIME PAIRING

Because true wireless audio is still pretty new, Indy™ Wireless may be your first experience with this technology. But pairing Indy™ Wireless to your device for the first time is actually really simple. You just have to follow three easy steps:
  1. Remove your Indy™ Wireless earbuds from the package
  2. Place them in the charging case, and make sure the LEDs turn red, then close the case.
  3. Now remove your earbuds from the case.
This process will automatically turn Indy™ Wireless on and put it into pairing mode. You can then select Indy™ Wireless from your device’s list of Bluetooth devices.
 
 

TROUBLESHOOTING

When people have trouble with true wireless audio, it’s usually related to Bluetooth pairing. If you can’t get Indy™ Wireless to pair to your phone or your earbuds are having trouble connecting to one another, here’s how you reset Indy™ Wireless to resolve pairing issues.

  1. Place your Indy™ Wireless earbuds in the charging case.
  2. Remove Indy™ Wireless from your device’s paired list.
  3. Turn off Bluetooth mode on your device (mobile or computer)
  4. Power on only your right Indy™ Wireless earbud by removing it from the case. It will be in a non-connected state at this point.
  5. Tap the center of the earbud 4x. This will automatically power off the earbud and reset it.  You will know this was successful when the light on the earbud turns red.  If the light does not turn red please repeat step 5 until the light turns red.  Place the right earbud back in the case.
  6. Now repeat those same steps only with the left earbud. (steps 4 and 5)
  7. Next, remove both earbuds from the case to have them automatically power on and begin pairing to one another.
  8. You’ll hear one beep indicating the buds have paired together, and then a voice prompt that will notify you that Indy™ Wireless is now “Pairing”, meaning it’s searching for your device.
  9. At this point, turn your device’s Bluetooth mode back on and re-pair to Indy™ Wireless.

SINGLE BUD USE

Sometimes you want to be able to hear your music, but still hear what’s going on around you. When you want to do that, you can use just one earbud. We call this Mono Mode. Only the right Indy™ Wireless earbud can be used in Mono Mode, because the right bud is the Primary bud.
To properly use Mono Mode, remove Indy™ Wireless from the charging case and make sure both earbuds are connected to your device. Now, simply place the LEFT bud back into the case. The RIGHT bud will remain paired and function for both phone calls and music.
 
You will maintain all RIGHT Indy™ Wireless earbud functionality, but remember, when in Mono Mode, you will lose the LEFT earbud functionality such as turning Volume down, and tracking backward.
If you want to go back to using both earbuds, put the right earbud back in the case, close the lid, and then remove both the left and right earbud together. You’ll hear a single Beep to indicate that both earbuds are paired and connected to your phone. All media functionality has now been restored.
 
To use Mono Mode again in the future, simply remove just the right earbud from the case at anytime.
