QUICK SETUP

CHARGING

It is recommended to fully charge the headset before first use.

1] Connect the USB cable between the headset and your Console, PC or MAC.
2] The LED on the headset will turn ORANGE while charging and be OFF when fully charged. The headset will take approximately 4 hours to fully recharge from a drained state. The charging cycle will take longer if the headset is in use during charging.

A low battery (20 minutes remaining) will be indicated by the headset LED flashing continuously.

HOW TO PAIR YOUR DONGLE TO YOUR HEADSET

1] Connect the dongle into a USB port on your console, PC or Mac. The dongle LED will flash Red.
2] Turn the headset ON. The headset LED will flash RED.
3] Connection between the Dongle and headset has been successful if the Headset LED remain ON (solid red) and the Dongle LED remains ON (solid red).
4] Turn the headset OFF by pressing the Power Button until the headset LED will turn off.

Pairing should happen automatically. If this is unsuccessful, press and hold Game+ and Game- simultaneously for 2 seconds until the LED on the Headset and the Dongle remain ON (solid red). The headset should pair automatically on the next usage.
