• Ensure your iPad Wi-Fi connection is at full strength (3 bars), less strength effects results.
• Ensure you are within 2m of the iPad when in use, distance affects results.

• Screen brightness will affect iPad battery life, so keep brightness as low as possible.

1. Rename your Earbuds before first use.
Naming each set of Earbuds uniquely, e.g. OBST Earbuds A, will help you to easily distinguish between Earbud session logs. For help with renaming your Earbuds, please refer to the article How do I rename OBST-Approved Earbuds?

2. Create a unique profile for each user.
If more than one person in your household uses OBST, you can create separate User Profiles to keep session history and earbud tracking accurate.

3. Have separate Earbuds for each user.
This will make tracking the hours that each set of Earbuds has been used much easier and replacement simpler. If you share Earbuds with another user, to calculate total hours used you will need to check each User Profile and tally up the session times.
