What Do the Tracking Status Messages Mean?
📋 "Label Created" or "Pre-Shipment"
The shipping label has been generated, but the package hasn't been physically picked up by the carrier yet. Usually updates within 24–48 hours.
🚚 "In Transit" or "Out for Delivery"
Your package is moving through the carrier's network or is on the delivery truck for your area.
📍 "Delivered"
The carrier has marked your package as delivered. Check your front door, porch, mailbox, or any safe drop-off location.
⚠️ "Exception" or "Delivery Delay"
Temporary issue with delivery. Contact the carrier directly or reach out to our support team.
❓ Tracking hasn't updated in days?
Contact support@get-sonabuds.com with your order number. We'll investigate with the carrier.
❓ Package says "Delivered" but I can't find it?
Check with neighbors, around the porch, side gates, and inside mailbox compartments. If still missing after 24 hours, contact us for replacement.
❓ My SonaBuds arrived damaged?
Take clear photos of the damaged outer packaging AND the SonaBuds. Email support@get-sonabuds.com within 7 days of delivery. Replacement at no cost.

❓ Battery feels dead on arrival?
Lithium batteries ship at partial charge per safety regulations. This is normal. Charge SonaBuds fully (about 1.5-2 hours in the magnetic charging case) before first use. If it doesn't charge after 2+ hours, contact us.
❓ Only one earbud working?
Common first-use issue — typically resolved by:
1. Place both earbuds in charging case for 30 seconds
2. Open case lid while both earbuds are inside
3. Re-pair via Bluetooth in the SonaBuds app
If issue persists, contact customer support.
1️⃣ Unbox Carefully
Keep the box for potential return under the 30-day guarantee. Verify all contents present.
2️⃣ Check the Contents
Your package should include:
- SonaBuds Translating Earbuds (pair)
- Magnetic charging case
- USB Type-C charging cable
- 3 pairs of ear tips (Small, Medium, Large)
- Quick-start instruction guide
- SonaBuds app download instructions
3️⃣ Charge Fully Before First Use
Place both earbuds in the magnetic charging case. Connect the USB Type-C cable to the case. Plug into a standard USB-A or USB-C power source. Full charge takes approximately 1.5-2 hours from empty. The LED indicators show charging status.
4️⃣ Download the FREE SonaBuds App
- iPhone: Search "SonaBuds" on Apple App Store (requires iOS 12+)
- Android: Search "SonaBuds" on Google Play Store (requires Android 7+)

5️⃣ Pair the Earbuds via Bluetooth
Open the SonaBuds app. Enable Bluetooth on your phone. Follow the in-app pairing instructions — typically the earbuds are detected automatically within 30 seconds. Pairing is a one-time process.
6️⃣ Choose Your Ear Tip Size
Try the medium ear tips first. If they feel loose or fall out, try large. If uncomfortable or painful, try small. Proper fit is essential for:
- Audio quality and noise cancellation
- Microphone clarity for translation
- Long-term comfort
7️⃣ Configure Your Default Languages
In the SonaBuds app:
- Select your primary language (e.g., English)
- Add languages you'll need most often
- The app remembers your preferences for quick selection
8️⃣ Pre-Download Offline Language Packs (CRITICAL for International Travel)
If traveling internationally:

- Download languages for your destination
- Each pack is 100-300 MB
- 8 languages available offline: English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean
9️⃣ Practice Before Real Conversations
Try translating simple phrases with a friend or family member before international travel or important meetings. This builds:
- Comfort with the earbud form factor
- Understanding of translation timing (1-3 seconds)
- Knowledge of best speaking practices
🔟 Pack the Travel Kit
For international trips, pack:
- SonaBuds charging case (in carry-on, NOT checked luggage — TSA requirement)
- USB Type-C cable
- International power adapter
- All ear tip sizes (in case fit changes during long flights)
If you're planning to travel by air with your SonaBuds, important TSA regulations apply:
✈️ Wearing SonaBuds on Flights = NO ISSUES
SonaBuds are perfectly fine to wear during flights — they're treated like any other wireless earbuds. No need to remove during security screening.
✈️ Lithium Battery — CARRY-ON ONLY
SonaBuds earbuds and the magnetic charging case contain lithium-ion batteries. Per TSA regulations, devices with lithium batteries must travel in carry-on baggage only — NEVER in checked luggage. This rule applies to:
- Domestic US flights
- International flights from US
- Most international carriers globally
- Cruise ship boarding (similar rules apply)
🔋 Battery Capacity Compliance
SonaBuds' lithium batteries fall within standard TSA-allowed capacity limits for consumer electronics. No additional declaration is typically required for normal travel use.
🛂 International Travel
Different countries may have additional regulations for lithium battery devices. Check destination country regulations before international travel. SonaBuds work globally — translation features available in 140+ languages worldwide.
📋 Documentation
Keep your purchase receipt accessible during travel in case TSA or customs requests documentation about the device.
🔌 Charging on the Road
Pack the USB Type-C cable in your carry-on. Most hotel rooms have USB ports for easy charging. The 24-32 hours of total battery life means you may not need to charge daily during shorter trips.
🌐 International Data for Online Mode
Plan for internet connectivity at your destination:
- International roaming with your US carrier ($10-15/day typically)
- Local SIM card (requires unlocked phone)
- Hotel WiFi (often free)
- Portable WiFi rental devices
- Pre-downloaded offline packs for 8 major languages
