Frequently Asked Questions - F540 LOGITECH

How to pair the F540 headset with the docking station?

Hold the headset power button for 15 seconds to activate pairing mode. Then press the connection button on the bottom of the docking station. The three LEDs will blink and then one will stay lit, indicating successful connection.

What should I do if I hear no sound in the headset?

Check that the docking station is powered on (LEDs lit) and the headset is on. If only one LED is lit, verify that the audio source (PS3, Xbox, etc.) is correctly selected using the INPUT button on the headset. If all three LEDs are blinking, perform a new pairing procedure.

How to use the microphone with PlayStation 3?

Connect the PS3 mini-USB voice cable between the docking station and the PS3. In the PS3 settings (XMB), go to Accessory Settings > Audio Device Settings and select 'Logitech Wireless Headset' as both input and output device.

How to use the microphone with Xbox 360?

Connect the provided Xbox 360 2.5mm voice cable between the headset (port under the left ear cup) and the Xbox 360 controller. Set the voice volume to 10 in the Xbox Guide settings (Settings > Preferences > Voice) and select 'Sound via headset'.

How to adjust game and voice chat volumes separately?

Use the two wheels on the left ear cup: the front wheel controls game volume, the rear wheel controls chat volume. You can also mute the microphone by pressing the mute button or raising the microphone arm.

How long does it take to charge the headset and how do I know when it's charged?

Full charging time is about 3 to 4 hours. During charging, an orange LED is lit on the station; it turns green when charging is complete. An audible alert sounds 30 minutes before full discharge.

Can I use the headset with devices other than gaming consoles?

Yes, you can connect stereo audio sources (TV, DVD player, MP3) to the RCA or 3.5mm AUX inputs on the docking station. Use the INPUT button on the headset to switch between sources.

What is the wireless range of the F540 headset?

Typical indoor range is about 10 meters, depending on obstacles. For stable connection, avoid thick walls or interference from other wireless devices.

What if the battery no longer charges?

Check that the micro-USB cable is properly connected to both the docking station and the headset. Try a different electrical outlet. If the problem persists, the battery may be defective; contact Logitech support.

How to clean and maintain the headset?

Clean the headset with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive products. Store in a dry place, away from heat and humidity.

Powering up the wireless base station

Using the included power cable, plug your wireless base station into an available AC outlet to power up the unit.

Charging the headset

Your Logitech Wireless Headset F540 is rechargeable and should have some charge when you take it out of the package. It's recommended to charge the headset fully before use.

• To charge the headset, use the included headset charging cable. Plug the small connector into the headset and the large connector into the port on the front of the wireless base station. The LED above the charging port of the headset will turn orange while charging and green when it's fully charged.
• The headset will take approximately 3-4 hours to fully re-charge from a completely drained state. If you use the headset while it's being charged, the charging cycle will take longer.
• When the headset rechargeable battery has only 30 minutes of charge left, you will hear an audible warning through the headset speakers. This warning will repeat intermittently until you plug in the headset for charging or when the battery is fully drained. The LED above the charging port on the headset will also turn red when the charge is low.

F540 setup with PS3™

To use all the features of the Headset F540, you'll need to make two connections: one for game audio and one for voice chat.

You make the game audio connection between the Logitech wireless base station and the PS3. Or you can connect the wireless base station to your primary audio system (television, home theater system, AV receiver, or audio switch).

You make the voice connection between the wireless base station and the PS3 using the Logitech Mini-USB PS3 voice cable.

To make the connections described in this section, you may need the items shown below, which are included with the Headset F540:

Connecting PS3 game audio

How you make this connection is dependent upon how you have connected your PS3 to your primary audio system. While every home gaming environment may be different, there are two basic ways to hook up your PS3:

• A digital connection using an HDMI or digital optical cable
• An analog connection using the PS3 AV cable

If you use HDMI or digital optical for PS3 audio

Connecting other AV sources

You can use the Headset F540 to listen to a variety of audio-video sources, including TVs, DVD players, MP3 players, and more. To listen to any of these devices, use standard RCA or 3.5mm cables (not included) to connect these devices to the back of the wireless base station.

For example, if you have connected the wireless base station to a PS3 game console, (leaving the Xbox 360 ports open), you could connect a DVD player to the wireless base station. To make this connection, use RCA cables to connect the audio-out ports on the DVD player to the open Xbox 360 ports on the back of the wireless base station. If you also have an MP3 player, you could connect it using a 3.5mm cable, which you would plug into the AUX IN port on the back of the wireless base station.

Protect your hearing: Listening advice to avoid hearing damage

Listening via headphones, earbuds or headsets at a high volume may cause permanent hearing loss to occur. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.

To establish a safe volume level:

• Start your equipment with the volume control at its lowest setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
• Avoid setting the volume at a level that prevents you from hearing conversations and other similar noises around you.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level, leave it there. If you experience a ringing in your ears, discomfort or muffled speech, reduce the volume or stop listening and have your hearing checked. See the product support page on the Logitech website www.logitech.com for additional information.
