[Charging Case]

[Listen to the Ambient Sound (LAS)] 

The Listen to the Ambient Sound (LAS) function allows you to listen to the 

ambient sound so that you can recognize the surrounding situation and any 

potential risks.

[Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)]

The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) function blocks any ambient sound. 

So, you can use the function to listen to the music or watch a video without 
interference.

[Earbuds]

*Make sure that the charging terminal is not soiled with foreign substance.

*The appearance and specifications of the actual product may differ depending 

on the model.

Bluetooth

 menu on the mobile phone and connect it (for users of iOS or 

Android 5.0 or lower versions).

!

 CAUTION:

 In the list of 

Bluetooth

 connected devices, LG-TONE-FP9_LE 

is not the correct model name for connection. Check the model name in 

use and connect with the model name without “LE”.  

If the earbud model name is abnormally displayed on the Android device, 

change the model name in the 

Bluetooth

 menu of Connected Device 

Settings.

 

NOTE:

 To connect with another device, perform the above procedure again. 

Bluetooth

 name of the product is “LG-TONE-FP9”.

Automatic Reconnection

The earbuds are connected automatically when you open the cover of the 

charging case. If you close the cover of the charging case with both earbuds 

mounted in the charging case, the earbuds are disconnected.

 Separate the earbuds from the charging case and adjust them so that 

they fit comfortably in your ears. 

 

NOTE:

 

You can use ear gels that fit your ears to improve 

Active Noise Canceling (ANC) performance and enjoy 

rich music sound.  

 When you wear the earbuds, you will hear a wearing detection alarm.

Function

Description

Play / Pause

 : 

Touch the left or right earbud once. 

Adjusting 

the Volume

 : 

Touch the left(Decrease volume) or 

right(Increase volume) earbud twice.

Play Next

 : 

Touch the left or right earbud three times.

 

NOTE: 

You can change the operation method of the function in the 

touchpad settings of the LG TONE Free app. 
Once you turn on the Plug and Wireless mode, the earbuds reacts to 

your touch as follows:

 - Touch it once to mute or unmute the sound.
 - Touch it twice to adjust the volume.
 - Touching it three times triggers no response.

The charging case has a built-in 

UVnano LED, which allows you to 

use your earbuds cleanly.
If you charge the earbuds wired after 

mounting them on the charging case 

and closing the cover, the UVnano 

LED operates for 5 minutes.
*UVnano is a compound word 

derived from the words UV and its 

unit, nanometer.

 

NOTE:

 The UVnano indicator turns on blue while the UVnano LED is on.  

The UVnano charging case eliminates up to 99.9% of harmful 

bacteria inside the earbud hole.  

In the case of a white product, discolouring may occur in the 

contact area of the UVnano LED, but it does not affect the product 

function. 

!

 CAUTION:

 Be aware that the temperature of the earbuds may rise 

while the UVnano LED is on.

[Wired Charging]

When the charging cable is connected, the charging status is displayed in the 

charging case.

 

NOTE:

 The earbuds and the charging case are charged at the same time. 

The charging port on the charging case cannot be used to supply power 

to mobile phones, etc.

If earbuds are mounted in the charging case, the earbuds’ battery status is 

displayed. Otherwise, the charging case’s battery status is displayed.

If the earbuds are mounted in the charging case while plugged in, the 

UVnano process will commence for 5 minutes. Once this process is 

complete, the charging case’s battery status will be displayed.

NOTE:

 When the charging case lid is closed, charging case battery 

status is displayed. If the charging case has no remaining charge, there 

will be no display and it cannot function. We recommend you keep the 

charging case charged at all times as the earbuds are not able to be 

turned on and turned off independently.

Touch and hold the left or right earbud to switch between the ANC mode 

and the LAS mode.
You can set the LAS and ANC functions in the LG TONE Free app. 

You can configure the Listen to the Ambient Sound mode and Conversation 

mode using the LG TONE Free app.
If you use the LAS or ANC function, the battery consumes faster, reducing 

the time you can use the product. 
You can use the LAS and ANC functions while being idle, listening to music, 

or being on the phone.

*

ANC is an acronym for Active Noise Cancellation.

!

 CAUTION:

 When the LAS mode is enabled, you may hear the ambient 

sound become loud suddenly. 

When using the ANC function outdoors, pay attention to the 

surrounding environment for safety.

 

NOTE:

 Actual product design may differ from images shown in manual.

*A mid-sized ear gel is attached to the earbud by default.

Make sure authentic LG Electronics components are used. Using a non-

authentic component may damage the product and thus void the warranty.
Use the USB Type-C™ cable/USB-C™ to AUX cable provided with the product.

The USB-C™ to AUX cable does not support the charging function.
The earbuds may not be compatible with some devices, and a separate

airplane seats.
If you use the earbuds for a long duration, the battery of the earbuds 

(including the charging case) may drain faster than when physically 

connected to a smartphone.
