Product Information: Philips True Wireless Earphones 1000
Series TAT1215

The Philips True Wireless Earphones 1000 Series TAT1215 are a
pair of Bluetooth earphones that offer a wire-free listening
experience. They come with replaceable rubber ear caps, a micro USB
charging cable, and a charging case that doubles as a portable
backup battery for the earphones. The earphones have LED
indicators, multi-function buttons, and a micro USB charging
slot.

Product Usage Instructions:

1. Charge the Battery

Before using the earphones for the first time, place the
earpieces in the charging box and charge the battery for 2 hours
using the original USB charging cable for optimum battery capacity
and lifetime. Finish your call before charging the earpieces, as
connecting the earpieces for charging will power them off. Connect
one end of the USB cable into the charging box and another end into
the power source. Place the earpieces in the charging case. When
fully charged, the white light goes off. Normally, a full charge
takes 2 hours for the earpieces or charging case.

2. Pair the Earphones with Your Bluetooth Device for the First
Time

Make sure that the earphones are fully charged. To power on the
earphones, open the top cover from the charging box, and the
earpieces will automatically power on with a blue LED indicator
flashing for 3 times with a power-on voice prompt. Alternatively,
press and hold the multi-function buttons on both earpieces for
approximately 3 seconds to power them on manually. The right
earpiece LED flashes alternately in white and blue, and the left
earpiece LED is off for 10 seconds, followed by a blue LED flash
once. Both earpieces are now powered on and paired with each other.
The earpieces are now in pairing mode and ready to pair with a
Bluetooth device, such as a mobile phone.

3. Use Your Earphones

blue to indicate that they are connected. To power on/off the
earphones, press and hold the multi-function buttons on both
earpieces for approximately 3 seconds. To manage your calls and

indicator status can be used to check the battery level. The

4. Reset the Earphones

If you need to reset the earphones, press and hold the
multi-function buttons on both earpieces for approximately 10

Hearing safety
Danger
To avoid hearing damage, limit the time you use headphones at high volume and set the volume to a safe level. The louder the volume, the shorter the safe listening time is.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones. · Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time. · Be careful not to adjust the volume
continuously upwards as your hearing adapts. · Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you. · You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. · Excessive sound pressure from earpieces and headphones can cause hearing loss. · Using headphones with both ears covered while driving is not recommended and may be illegal in some areas. · For your safety, avoid distractions from music or phone calls while in traffic or other potentially dangerous environments.
