Pairing and Connecting

Fast Pair

1. Turn on the Bluetooth function on the mobile phone or the device to be connected.
2. Open the cover of the charging case with the earbuds mounted on the case. Press and hold the touchpad of the left or right earbud for 3 to 5 seconds until the battery status indicator blinks blue.
3. When the Fast Pair connection pop-up appears on the top area of the mobile phone screen, tap it to connect. (It only supports Android™ 6.0 or higher, and requires configuring Bluetooth and location information settings of the mobile device.)
4. If the pop-up does not appear, select [LG-TONE-FP9] from the Bluetooth menu on the mobile phone and connect it (for users of iOS or Android 5.0 or lower versions).

Automatic Reconnection

The earbuds are connected automatically when you open the cover of the charging case. If you close the cover of the charging case with both earbuds mounted in the charging case, the earbuds are disconnected.

Wearing Earbuds

1. Separate the earbuds from the charging case and adjust them so that they fit comfortably in your ears.

Playing Music

Mobile Calling Functions

Listen to the Ambient Sound (LAS) / Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

Listen to the Ambient Sound (LAS)

The Listen to the Ambient Sound (LAS) function allows you to listen to the ambient sound so that you can recognize the surrounding situation and any potential risks.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) function blocks out ambient sound. Use the function to listen to music or watch a video. Touch and hold the left or right earbud to switch between the ANC mode and the LAS mode. You can set the LAS and ANC functions in the LG TONE Free app. You can configure the Listen to the Ambient Sound mode and Conversation mode using the LG TONE Free app. If you use the LAS or ANC function, the battery consumes faster, reducing the time you can use the product. You can use the LAS and ANC functions while being idle, listening to music, or being on the phone. ANC is an acronym for Active Noise Cancellation. CAUTION: When the LAS mode is enabled, you may hear the ambient sound become loud suddenly. When using the ANC function outdoors, pay attention to the surrounding environment for safety.

UVnano

• The charging case has a built-in UVnano LED, which allows you to sanitize your earbuds’ speaker mesh.
• The UVnano LED operates for 5 minutes when mounted in the charging case while it is being charged via a wired connection.
• UVnano is a compound word derived from the words UV and its unit nanometer. NOTE: The UVnano LED indicator turns blue when on. Independent tests show case kills 99.9% of bacteria on the speaker mesh of earbuds in 5 minutes while charging. The function works only when the case is connected to power. In the case of a white product, discoloring may occur in the contact area of the UVnano LED, but it does not affect the product’s function.

Charging

Wired Charging

When the charging cable is connected, the charging status is displayed in the charging case. NOTE: The earbuds and the charging case are charged at the same time. The charging port on the charging case cannot be used to supply power to mobile phones, etc.

Plug and Wireless Mode (External Device Connection Mode)

You can connect the charging case to a device such as an airplane stereo system, treadmill, cassette player, radio, or TV to listen with the earbuds.

1. Push the Plug and Wireless Mode switch on the charging case to the right to activate the Plug and Wireless Mode. The battery status indicator flashes green.
2. Open the cover of the charging case to connect the charging case to the earbuds. Once the connection is established, the battery status indicator turns on green for 3 seconds and turns off.
3. Connect the USB Type-C™ side of the USB-C to the AUX cable to the charging case. (The USB-C to AUX cable does not support the charging function.)
4. Connect the AUX side of the USB-C to the AUX cable to the device that you want.

Checking the Battery Status

• If earbuds are mounted in the charging case, the earbuds’ battery status is displayed. Otherwise, the charging case’s battery status is displayed.
• If the earbuds are mounted in the charging case while plugged in, the UVnano process will commence for 5 minutes. Once this process is complete, the charging case’s battery status will be displayed.

NOTE: When the charging case lid is closed, the charging case battery status is displayed. If the charging case has no remaining charge, there will be no display, and it cannot function.

FCC Part 15.105 statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Additional Information

1. Radio frequency exposure

This Bluetooth LG Stereo Headset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth-equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2402 to 2480 MHz. Your Bluetooth headset is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits set by national authorities and international health agencies when used with any compatible mobile phone.

2. Bluetooth connection precautions

The following environments affect the range and reception of Bluetooth signals:

• When walls, metal, human bodies, or other obstacles exist between the Bluetooth device and the connected device.
• When equipment that uses 2.4 GHz frequency signals (wireless LANs, wireless phones, microwave ovens, etc.) is placed near the devices being used.
• When using a Bluetooth device (TV, laptop, etc.) other than a mobile phone, the sound quality may be affected by the specifications and performance of the device.

3. Potentially explosive atmosphere

Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Although this is uncommon, your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked.

4. Emergency calls

IMPORTANT! This Bluetooth headset and the electronic device connected to the headset operate using radio signals and mobile and landline networks, as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any electronic device for essential communications (e.g., medical emergencies). Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the headset and the electronic device connected to the headset must be switched on and in a service area with adequate mobile signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all mobile phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider.

5. Battery information

A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new battery or one that has not been used for a long period of time could have reduced capacity the first few times it is used. Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above +122°F (+50°C) or below +14°F (-10°C). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery at room temperature. If the battery is used in low temperatures, its capacity will be reduced. The battery can only be charged in temperatures between +32°F (0°C) and +113°F (+45°C).

6. Recycling the battery in your Bluetooth headset

The battery in your Bluetooth headset must be disposed of properly and should never be placed in municipal waste. In case a rechargeable battery is included in this product, the entire device should be recycled in compliance with rechargeable battery recycling standards because of the internal battery. To dispose of properly, call (800) 822-8837 or visit www.call2recycle.org
