The beep sounds about 3 seconds after the LED (blue) lights and the power turns on.
If the power does not turn on, put the earphones into the charging cradle and charge them.

The app manages the "Headphone name" of headphones that have been connected and also the language settings for the Voice prompt.
Even if the factory settings are restored on the headphones, settings managed on the app are not initialized.
In situations other than when a phone call is being received, you can request that the connected smartphone, or other handset change the volume using the operations to change the volume with the headphones, but the volume may not change depending on the connected handset.
Take care when touching the headphones to change the volume while in a call as this may cause noise that can disturb the other party in your call.

If the pairing (registering) with the smartphone is complete, you can use just the side (L or R) that you take out of the charging cradle. If you use L and R with separate smartphones, they will each remember which smartphone they were last used with, so when you want to use both with one smartphone again, you need to first disconnect the Bluetooth® connection with the smartphone you will not be using.
