HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO KEEP YOUR HEADPHONES SECURELY IN PLACE AND ACHIEVE THE BEST SOUND QUALITY & EXPERIENCE.

DYNAMIC SPEAKERS

• When swimming the drag of the water or tugging of the speaker wires may cause the speakers to dislodge. If the speakers are moving or falling out, wrap the speaker wire around your goggle strap and then place the speakers in your ears. This will reduce the drag and help keep them securely in place.
• If you have a swim cap, pull the cap over the ears and tuck the earphones under the cap for a secure fit.
• Experiment with the different sizes and styles of ear plugs to find the best fit. You may need two different sizes for either the left or right ear as each ear canal can vary.
• We also offer custom molded earplugs. They provide a custom fit and deliver exceptional sound quality. H2OAUDIO.COM

BONE CONDUCTION SPEAKERS

• For the best sound experience orient the speakers to be in front of the ear. Try to find a location on the goggles that provides the best sound. Bone conduction works by the vibration of the speaker that is conducted to the inner ear.
• Tip: For the best sound experience in the water, we recommend using the included solid earplugs. This will block ambient sounds and splashing water.

DYNAMIC SPEAKERS

We use our patented waterproofing technology that sometimes requires the speakers to be equalized due to pressure. Think of the speakers as an empty plastic water bottle - and if you take that in an airplane it will deform due to ambient pressure which is different from the pressure inside the bottle. We need to get the bottle to release and pop it back to normal form.

If there is a faint or muffled sound this can be resolved via the  troubleshooting steps below. If there is buzzing crackling or is completely silent this cannot be fixed. In this case, please contact us directly: support@h2oaudio.com.

If you are experiencing sound quality issues - there are a few possible scenarios:

• There is water trapped between the speaker and the earplug. Solution: tap the speakers and try to get the drop of water out. Also gently blowing into the speaker might help. Once the water dries up - it should sound normal. To avoid this during swimming, try different size earplugs and find one that keeps the best seal/fit.
• The speaker is not completely equalized. Solution: Play loud/full volume music through the speakers and let the music run for a while. This will slowly help equalize the speakers. To expedite, you can gently suck and blow air into the speaker which will reset the membrane.
• If you remove the blue ear tips and tap the speaker on a firm surface you can release the membrane.
• Soak the affected speaker in very warm water to break down any residue or build up - repeat steps 1-4.
• Please test the headphones on a different device to determine if the issue is the source device or the headphones.

BONE CONDUCTION SPEAKERS

• If either side of your Interval bone conduction speakers is not producing sound please reach out directly via email: support@h2oaudio.com.

Download the free My Swim Tracker app to log all your swim workouts. My Swim Tracker will keep track of your PRs, distances, and provide audio lap counting. It will coach you and encourage you to reach your goals. Complete your Apple Activity Rings and enjoy lap swimming.

1. Lap Detection Issues: The My Swim Tracker App is still in beta testing and we are collecting more data to make it more accurate and will make app updates soon. Here are tips to help the lap detection:

• 1. Power off the watch and iPhone and restart them.  
• 2. Make sure you start the app at the side of the pool (not in the locker room). 
• 3. After you press start - wait until you hear that it is OK to start swimming. The watch is calibrating before the start. 
• 4. Make sure that the Apple Watch is clipped to the Interval with the buttons pointing to the right. If the watch is upside down, it will not work well.

2. Not Connecting to Apple Health

• The Apple Health can be activated from the Phone app, but you will also need to verify this in the watch app. Open the watch app and see.
• If you missed this when you first installed the app you will need to delete the app from your phone and your watch.
• After you delete the app from both your phone and watch power off both devices, restart and then re-install the app on both the phone and watch.
• Once the watch app is installed, open the MySwimTracker watch app. On the 1st opening - it will ask if you want to allow the linking  - select the option there and confirm.+
