. <\/span><\/p>\nWhen you place both earbuds in the case, <\/span>the LED will glow, indicating the battery level of the bud with the least power<\/b>. If you place one bud in the case, the case will display the battery level of that earbud, and <\/span>when both buds are out of the case, the LED will display the case’s battery level<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\nYou can <\/span>get the LED on the case to light up by opening or closing it or disconnecting it from the USB charger<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\nFor instance, the LED will light green for six seconds to show that the earbuds are fully charged, that is, if the buds are in the case. If the buds are outside the case, a six-second green LED means the case’s battery is full.<\/span><\/p>\nOn the other hand, the LED will light orange for approximately six seconds if the buds are in the case and they have a ninety-four and below battery percentage. If the buds are not in the case and the LED goes orange for six seconds, the case’s battery is at thirty percent or less. <\/span><\/p>\nThe LED will behave the same way when you take them out or place them in the case, with the only difference being that the LED will light for three seconds instead of six.<\/b><\/p>\nWhen you open the case, the LED will shortly glow green, orange, or red to indicate the battery status of the earbuds (earbuds inside the case) or the case (earbuds out of the case). <\/p><\/div>\n
If there is no reaction from the LED when you open, close, take the buds out, or place them in the case, <\/span>it could be that the case’s battery is depleted<\/b>. <\/span>The same goes if the earbuds do not play an audio prompt when you take them out of the case<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\nSo, should this be the case, place the buds in it, close it, and connect it to a charger.<\/span><\/p>\nAre the Earbuds Charged<\/b><\/h2>\n
At this point, you should have established whether the case and buds are fully charged, and if they are not, it is time to recharge<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\nThe WF-1000MX4 has two charging methods, i.e., wired and wireless<\/b>. You can choose either, but the <\/span>wired method is quicker<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\nYou can charge your SONY WF-1000XM4 using the provided USB cable (wired) or using a Qi charging pad (wireless).<\/p><\/div>\n
You should <\/span>begin with wired charging by placing the buds in the case<\/b>. The Left earbud has a tactile dot, which goes into the case’s left compartment, while the right one goes into the right compartment. <\/span>The case has magnets that will ensure the buds are correctly seated, provided they are in their respective slots<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\nOnce the buds are in the case, close it and connect it to a USB charger, preferably using the supplied USB cable, and observe the LED on the case.<\/span><\/p>\nIn normal circumstances, <\/span>the LED would light orange and go off once charging is complete<\/b>, but this might not be the case if the buds were refusing to power on.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you connect the case to a charger, whether using an adapter or a USB port, and there is no reaction from the LED, leave the case connected for approximately thirty seconds<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\nThat is necessary, especially if the XM4s have remained unused for a while because the LED will need some time to indicate charging.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you connect the USB charger to a USB port, do not connect it to a hub<\/b>, as it might not have sufficient power to charge the buds. <\/span><\/p>\nAdditionally, <\/span>if the cable is connected to a laptop or desktop, ensure the device does not go to sleep<\/b> (hibernate), as it will not charge the buds when in sleep mode.<\/span><\/p>\nIt will take approximately <\/span>three hours to charge the buds and the case<\/b>, assuming the battery was depleted fully and you are using the wired charging setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Ensure the case\u2019s lid is shut while recharging to ensure efficient charging.
<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/p>\nCheck the Charging Contacts and the Charger<\/b><\/h3>\n
At this point, the buds should be turning on if the issue is a depleted battery<\/b>, especially if it has been charging for over thirty minutes. <\/span><\/p>\nHowever, if the charging case does not show signs of charging, <\/span>there could be an issue with the earbuds\u2019 charging system<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\nIn such a case, you should take the buds out of the case and disconnect it from the power source. <\/span><\/p>\nThen, <\/span>check the USB cable and ensure it is not damaged or the charging port on the case is not clogged with dirt and other debris<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\nCheck the USB charging cable and the charging port on the back of the case for dust and debris. Clean them if necessary.<\/p><\/div>\n
Also, <\/span>observe the charging contacts on the earbuds and the charging case<\/b> to ensure they are in good condition and not rusted or covered in dust or dirt. <\/span><\/p>\nCheck the charging contacts. If they are dirty or corroded, clean them.<\/p><\/div>\n
If you notice dirt on the buds in the case, find a dry, soft, lint-free cloth and use it to wipe the affected areas. If the dirt is stuck, you can dampen the cloth with a diluted mild detergent and clean the dirt. <\/b>Do not use strong cleaning agents or solvents because they will corrode the metal parts on the buds and in the case. <\/span><\/p>\nHow to Clean True Wireless Earbuds<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>
