Once successfully paired, the LED indicator on the earbuds will change to a solid color, indicating a stable connection.

Understanding Auto Pair Mode

The Skullcandy Jib True 2 earbuds feature an Auto Pair Mode, designed for seamless connectivity. This mode simplifies the pairing process, allowing you to quickly connect to your devices. When you first unbox your Jib True 2 earbuds, they will automatically enter pairing mode when removed from the charging case.

Auto Pair Mode is indicated by the earbuds’ LED lights flashing, signaling that they are ready to connect to a Bluetooth-enabled device. To utilize Auto Pair Mode, simply ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and search for available devices; Select “Jib True 2” from the list of available devices to establish a connection.

If you have previously paired your Jib True 2 earbuds with a device, they will automatically attempt to reconnect to that device when removed from the charging case, provided that the device’s Bluetooth is enabled and within range.

Using Mono Mode (Single Earbud Use)

The Skullcandy Jib True 2 offers the flexibility of using either earbud independently in Mono Mode. This feature is particularly useful when you want to stay aware of your surroundings or conserve battery life. Both the left and right earbuds can function as the primary or “master” bud.

You can switch between earbuds at any time. If you are already listening with both earbuds and want to switch to Mono Mode, simply place one earbud back in the case.

The Jib True 2 maintains a stable connection with your device, even when using a single earbud. This ensures a seamless listening experience, whether you are taking calls or enjoying music; Mono Mode also allows you to extend your total listening time.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Encountering issues with your Skullcandy Jib True 2 can be frustrating, but many common problems have straightforward solutions. One frequent issue is pairing difficulties. If your earbuds aren’t connecting to your device, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone or computer and that the Jib True 2 are in pairing mode. You may need to “forget” the device in your Bluetooth settings and re-pair.

Another common problem is one earbud not working. This often happens when the earbuds are not properly synced. Try re-syncing them by following the steps in the manual. If the audio is cutting out or experiencing interference, check for obstructions or interference from other wireless devices. Moving closer to your device can also improve the connection.

If your earbuds are not charging, make sure the charging contacts are clean and that the charging case has power. Using a different charging cable or power adapter can also help determine if the issue is with the cable or adapter. Should the problem persist, consider resetting the earbuds to their factory settings, referring to the reset instructions in this manual. Always ensure your Jib True 2 are updated.

Resetting the Earbuds

To reset, first, remove the Jib True 2 from your device’s Bluetooth list. Next, manually power off both earbuds by pressing and holding the button on each for approximately four seconds. Once both are off, touch and hold the button on BOTH earbuds for ten seconds. This will power cycle them, turning them on and off again.

After the power cycle, press the button on both earbuds four times. The LEDs will flash red and blue as the earbuds re-sync. Once successfully re-synced, both earbuds will flash blue together four times. Following this, re-pair the earbuds with your device as if they were new. This process should resolve most connectivity problems, providing a fresh start for your Jib True 2. Always refer to the visual cues from the LED indicators.
