Skullcandy Dime TWS Earbuds Manual

Skullcandy Dime True Wireless in-Ear Earbuds

The smallest, lightest earbud we’ve ever made packs a powerful punch. Skullcandy® ultimate sound gives you the kind of full, rich sound you’d expect from far more costly earphones. Even when you’re on the phone, you can use either earbud alone thanks to the dual microphones. Dime is sweat- and water-resistant, so it can withstand workouts and outdoor excursions, and it’s covered by our Fearless Use Promise, so you can listen without stress.

PAIRING ISSUES?

ISSUE:The biggest challenge with true wireless earbuds is ensuring your buds are properly connected to each other and your device. There are times when you may unintentionally disconnect your buds and change their paired state; this can create pairing challenges and impact your ability to hear audio in both earbuds or use either bud in Solo Mode. Do not worry, we have a few easy ways to get this fixed!

FIRST COMPLETE A POWER CYCLE by simply placing your buds into the charging case until the LED on both earbuds turns RED. Then remove your buds from the case and evaluate, sometimes this is all you need, but if you’re still having trouble we’ve got you covered.

SOLUTION 1: RE-SYNC YOUR EARBUDS – “AUDIO ISN’T PLAYING FROM BOTH OF MY EARBUDS”

Power ON your earbuds by removing them from the charging case, or manually press and hold the button on each bud for 2 seconds.
Once powered ON (you can be in a connected or non-connected state) press the button on BOTH buds 4x to start the earbuds re-sync pairing mode (earbuds connecting to each other).
Your earbuds will flash Red/Blue momentarily as they re-sync, once successful they will flash Blue together and you will hear a “connected” voice prompt.
If you were connected to your device, your earbuds will automatically reconnect to your device and you’re ready to stream in stereo audio (sound will play from both earbuds).

SOLUTION 2: RESET YOUR PAIRED DEVICE LIST – “I CAN’T GET MY EARBUDS TO PAIR TO MY DEVICE CORRECTLY, OR SOLUTION 1 ISN’T FIXING MY AUDIO PLAYBACK”

To ensure ease of re-pairing, please un-pair or forget your Dime® in your paired Bluetooth device list
Remove your Dime® earbuds from the charging case and allow them to automatically power ON.
Ensure your earbuds are in a non-connected state, then on either earbud, press the button 2x and then hold for 2 seconds.
This will automatically reset your paired device list and enter you directly back into Pairing Mode. You will hear the voice prompt “Pairing” and only the LEFT bud will begin to flash RED/BLUE.
At this time, turn ON your device’s Bluetooth and look for “Dime” in your list of Available Bluetooth devices, and select it.
IMPORTANT – Select the “Pair” and “Ok” prompts that will pop up on your screen.
Once successfully paired, a voice prompt will notify you are now “Connected”

Is it okay for me to wear Skullcandy dime in the shower?

Multipoint allows you to connect to and switch between multiple Bluetooth devices. You can effortlessly switch calls from one device to another without having to disconnect and reconnect manually, for example.

Is the Skullcandy dime noise-canceling?

There are no sophisticated capabilities, like as active noise cancellation, and no app support is available. You may, however, use either earpiece separately, and the earpieces are water resistant to IPX4. Even considering the size of the box, the Skullcandy Dime’s battery life is disappointing.

CAN I USE MY SKULLCANDY POWER ACCESSORIES/PC/LAPTOP TO CHARGE DIME®?

How nicely do these fit into tiny ears? Also, do they hurt in the same way as the bands on the gel bits do?

These have to be worn with the tiniest rubber fittings. In order for them to stay in my ears, I have to wear them backwards. Because the sesh is also too huge, I must either have tiny ears or have troubles with skullcandy ear buds.

CAN I USE SIRI/GOOGLE ASSISTANT/ALEXA WITH MY DIME®?

When paired to your device, you can press the button on either the LEFT or RIGHT bud 3x to activate your voice assistant feature at any time.

CAN I USE DURING MOST ACTIVITIES?

Dime® has a water resistant rating of (IPX4). This will allow them to hold up to some rain and moisture with no problems at all.
Please note that ONLY the buds have the IPX4 rating. The charging case does NOT have an IPX4 rating so you want to be a bit more careful with that.

WHEN ON A CALL OR LISTENING TO MY CONTENT, WILL I HEAR AUDIO IN ONE OR BOTH EARBUDS?

Dime® has stereo calling and streaming so you’ll always hear the caller or your media content in both ears.
Although, you do have the option to use only one earbud (left or right side) if you prefer Solo Mode in some situations.

BUDS NOT CHARGING IN CASE/CASE LID NOT CLOSING PROPERLY?

ISSUE: Not seeing the RED LED indicator on the buds when you’ve placed your DIME back in the case? This would let you know your earbuds are powered off and charging, so if you’re experiencing this issue here are a few helpful tips.

SOLUTION:
First ensure your case is charged up. If your charge case battery is dead your earbuds will not automatically power off and begin to charge when placed into the case.
Check to see if any debris is blocking the charging pins in the case, or on the bud
Check to see if the removable in-ear gels are placed correctly on the acoustic port, this could be keeping the buds from sitting correctly in the case
This same issue could also be interfering with your case lid when closing, if you’re having a hard time closing the lid correctly, this is an indicator that buds are not set correctly or the gels are interfering.

SOLO MODE

ISSUE: If you would like to use Dime® with only one ear bud (Solo Mode), you’re in luck! The updated technology in Dime® allows you to use either the left OR the right bud in Solo Mode. Once paired correctly, you will be able to switch seamlessly between your right and left earbud. Although, if you’re having any challenges utilizing the Role Switching capabilities, you may follow these simple steps to ensure ease of use when pairing and switching between Solo and Stereo Modes.

SOLUTION:
Please note – BOTH the LEFT and RIGHT bud for Dime® can be used in Solo Mode.
For the optimal Solo Mode functionality, first Power ON and pair your buds to your device normally or as described in our troubleshooting section. This will ensure the seamless transition between Stereo and Solo modes.
Once you’ve paired your earbuds you can simply remove either your left or right earbud from the case and it will connect to your device in Solo Mode. At any time, you can remove the other bud from the case, it will automatically sync and begin streaming audio in Stereo Mode.
Additionally, if you’re already streaming in Stereo Mode, simply place the RIGHT or LEFT bud back into the case; whichever you prefer! The remaining bud will stay paired and function with both phone calls and music.
In Solo Mode you will maintain your Play/Pause, Answer/Hang up Call and Activate Assistant functionality, but please note you will lose some of the media control functionality such as “Volume +/- “, and “Track <</>>”.
Again, if you would like to change back to Stereo Mode while in Solo Mode, simply pull the other bud from the case at any time and you will hear a tone, or the music will seamlessly begin to stream to indicate that you have automatically entered back into Stereo Mode.
PLEASE NOTE – If you’re having any trouble switching between the LEFT and RIGHT buds in Solo Mode, you may need to follow the reset solutions above to regain proper functionality.
