Use

Putting on the headphones

• Follow the marking on the outer side of the headphone earpiece. R = Right, L = Left
• The headphone earpiece is adjustable according to the size of the head. This ensures that the headphones sit properly.

You have two ways to use the device: By cable or cordless via Bluetooth.

WARI

Listening when the volume level is loud may damage the hearing of the listener.

By cable

1. Connect the 3.5mm stereo RCA cable to an external audio source. If required, use a suitable adapter (not included).
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the socket (4) on the headphones.
3. Adjust the volume on the audio source. The buttons on the headphones are without function.

NOTE:

The headphones do not have to be turned on when using them with cables.

Cordless via Bluetooth

Bluetooth involves a technology for wireless radio connection of devices over a short distance. Devices with Bluetooth standard are transmitting between 2,402 and 2,480 GHz in the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). Interferences can however be caused by WLAN networks, wireless telephones, or microwave ovens, for example, which operate in the same frequency band.
Bluetooth technology enables hands-free operation of mobile phones, for example. This device offers you the possibility to use a Bluetooth-enabled device. The function radius is thereby restricted device-dependant to ca. 15 meters.

If your playing device supports the A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and has a music-player function, then you can also wirelessly transfer music to the device. The A2DP profile involves a multi-vendor Bluetooth profile. By streaming, stereo-audio signals are wirelessly transferred between the playing device (source) and the receiving device. To be able to operate the source by remote control the player needs to support the AVRCP profile (Audio Video Remote Control Profile).

Due to the different device manufacturers, models, and software versions, a full functionality cannot be guaranteed.

• Logging on devices (Pairing)

Before you can listen to music or make phone calls with the headphones, you need to first register the devices with each other.

1. Ensure, that the Bluetooth function is activated in your player (e.g. mobile phone). For this, refer to the operation manual of your player.
