Frequently Asked Questions - Drops NILOX

How to turn on and pair the Nilox Drops earphones?

Bring the two earphones close together, then press and hold the central button (with the Nilox inscription) on each earphone for about 2 seconds. Pairing between the earphones takes less than 20 seconds: the left LED flashes red, the right one flashes blue. Then, on your Bluetooth device, search for devices and select "Nilox drops". If necessary, enter the password 00.

How to use the earphones with the ear hook?

Insert the microUSB connector of the hook into the corresponding earphone (only one orientation possible). Make sure the plastic part of the hook covers the earphone well. Then mold the hook to the shape of your ear and hook it onto your ear before inserting the earphone.

How to use the earphones without the ear hook?

Cover the microUSB connectors of the earphones with the provided caps. Insert the earphone into the ear concha, then gently turn it about 30 degrees so that it fits securely.

How to answer or reject a phone call?

To accept a call, press the power button on the right earphone. To reject, press and hold the same button for about 2 seconds. Note that the phone function is only available on the right earphone.

How to reset the earphones?

Turn off both earphones. Turn them on at the same time by pressing and holding the power button for about 15 seconds. The LEDs will flash alternately red and blue for 3 seconds. Then the earphones will pair with each other; you will need to perform a new pairing with your Bluetooth device.

What is the battery life?

The manual does not specify the exact battery life. The earphones are equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery. For an estimate, check the manufacturer's website or test the device.

How to charge the earphones?

The manual does not provide details on charging. Generally, wireless earphones are charged via a microUSB cable or charging case. Check the included accessories and the full manual.

Are the earphones waterproof or sweat-resistant?

The manual does not mention any waterproof rating. It is advised to avoid any contact with water and not to use them in the rain or during intense physical activity that may cause heavy sweating.

What to do if the earphones do not connect to my smartphone?

Make sure the earphones are on and paired with each other (left LED red, right LED blue). On your smartphone, enable Bluetooth and search for "Nilox drops". If a password is requested, enter 00. If the problem persists, perform a reset of the earphones.

BLUETOOTH DISCLOSURE

The RF for the Bluetooth is 2.4GHz band which is sharing among Bluetooth and non-Bluetooth devices. There are potential sources of Bluetooth (wireless) interference such as WiFi, 2.4G wireless Camera, radar, microwave oven.

Effects of interference

• A decrease in the wireless range between devices
- A decrease in data throughput over Bluetooth,
- Intermittent or complete loss of the wireless connection
• Difficulty pairing during a Bluetooth device's discovery phase

Sources of interference

• Microwave ovens: Using your microwave oven near your computer, or Bluetooth device may cause interference.
- Direct Satellite Service (DSS): The coax cable and connectors used with certain types of satellite dishes may cause interference. Check the cable for damage and obtain newer cables if you suspect RF leakage issues.
• Certain external electrical sources such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power stations.
• 2.4 GHz phones: A cordless telephone that operates in this range may cause interference with wireless devices or networks when used.

EN

• Video senders (transmitters/receivers) that operate in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth.
- Wireless speakers that operate in the 2.4 GHz band.
- Certain external monitors and LCD displays: Certain displays may emit harmonic interference, especially in the 2.4GHz band. This interference may be at its worst if you have a portable computer with the lid closed and an external monitor connected to it.
- Any other wireless devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth (microwaves, cameras, baby monitors, neighbour's wireless devices, and so on).

Home and office environment

If possible, avoid wireless barriers, or change the placement of the Bluetooth devices for a clearer signal path. The device's location within building and construction materials used can affect Bluetooth.

Outdoor and public area

Shopping mall, Airport or other highly populated with WiFi environment which are worst environments for the Bluetooth communication. The BH1550 may not functioning as good as in office or at home. In the worst occasion, the streaming audio may become choppy or even stop working.
