Alternatively, an average battery level announcement can be triggered by pressing the Volume + or Volume – button when connected and not playing music.On your Freedom headphones the values are rounded to the nearest 20%. 26% reported in the App for example would result in the following prompt: “Battery 20 percent”.90%CHARGING / BATTERY STATUS8HRS4HRS4HRSQUICK CHARGE20MIN=1 HR PLAYTIMEON BUDSON CLIPPLAYTIME

25In addition to using the USB charging cable, your charging clip can charge your buds without having to be connected to a power source. Your charging clip has an internal battery and circuitry that extends your play time by 4 hours.

You may turn the your buds ON and continue to listen to your music while the charging clip is attached and transferring power.NOTE: Although the freedom buds are sweat-proof, the charging clip is not.
