Indicators on HUAWEI earbuds
| Indicators on HUAWEI earbuds |
This document applies to the earbuds models such as the FreeBuds series, FreeLace series, FreeClip, and FreeArc.
The indicator status on the charging case can be used to: 1. check the battery level of the earbuds or the charging case; 2. check whether the earbuds have entered Pairing mode or restored to their factory settings.
If the indicator status is abnormal and is not as expected, press and hold the Function button or touch and hold the touch control area for about 10 seconds until the indicator on the charging case flashes red to reconnect the earbuds to your phone/tablet. If the issue persists, back up your data and take your product and proof of purchase to an authorized Huawei Customer Service Center for assistance.
FreeBuds/FreeArc/FreeClip series earbuds
- The charging case is not being charged: The indicator will be steady on for 10 seconds and then turn off after the earbuds are placed in or taken out of the charging case, or after the charging case is opened.
- The charging case is being charged: The indicator will be steady on. For FreeArc/FreeClip, the indicator will be steady green for 10 seconds and then go dark. The indicator on the FreeBuds Pro 4/FreeClip's charging case will be steady on for 3 seconds after the case is closed.

When the indicator flashes white, it indicates that the earbuds are in the charging case and are in Pairing mode. When the indicator flashes red, it indicates that the earbuds are in the charging case and are being restored to their factory settings. When the indicator is off, it indicates that the charging case has run out of battery. The indicator turns off when the charger is removed, or when the earbuds are fully charged with a wireless charger. Non-official chargers and data cables will trigger earbuds' overvoltage protection function, which may cause the indicator to flash.
