pulse: Bluetooth-enabled Stereo Headphones
Thank you for purchasing the pulse Bluetooth™ Stereo Headset from a.m.p - Antec Mobile Products. Pulse is an audio receiver/headset combination that supports both wireless music streaming and mobile phone functions. By featuring apt-x, loss-less, digital audio technology and SBC audio software CODEs, pulse provides an unparalleled listening experience and is the perfect addition to your home entertainment system. At the same time, its lightweight and foldable design makes pulse the ideal travel companion.
Safety Information
a.m.p - Antec Mobile Products strongly recommends that you use good judgment and moderation when using the pulse. If you don't have good judgment, please read and follow the instructions and warnings contained in this product manual to ensure a safe and enjoyable pulse experience.
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Listening to music at high volumes for extended periods of time might be fun, but it can lead to permanent hearing loss, which is not fun. Sounds above 85 decibels (dBs) can cause permanent hearing damage while the pain threshold for noise is 125 dB. This means you can damage your hearing even though you aren't feeling any discomfort. Also, the damage caused from loud noises increases over time, so the louder the sounds, the less time it takes to damage your hearing. To avoid sudden shocks to your ears, each time you use the pulse, begin on low volume settings then gradually increase the volume to a comfortable level. Antec Mobile Products understands that good music often sounds better loud, but please take precautions to ensure that your hearing survives for many years to come.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings!
Do not use the pulse headphones while operating machinery or motor vehicles as the pulse will impair your ability to hear important safety signals and therefore present a danger to you and others. We also ask that you please be considerate to others when listening to your music in places like libraries or on public transit. Finally, even if you are an Electrical Engineer, please do not attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the pulse in any way.

Getting Started
Charging the Battery

Pulse contains a high-capacity Lithium battery that should be fully-charged before using. Please use the included micro USB cable to charge the pulse by connecting the smaller end of the cable to the pulse and then connecting the larger end to the USB slot of any PC, Mac or charging station. The LED status indicator will be RED while charging. When fully charged, the LED will goes out and then the pulse will automatically turn off when fully charged.
Note: You can still use the pulse while charging.
Turning the pulse On and Off

Before using the pulse, please note the left (L) and right (R) ear cushions and adjust the pulse's headband so that it fits securely atop your head and the ear cushions comfortably cover your ears. To switch on the pulse, press and hold the MFB button for about three seconds, the pulse will emit a rising tone and the Blue LED light will flash three times. To power off the pulse, press the MFB button again. The pulse will emit a falling tone and the Red LED will flash three times. The pulse will auto shut off if it remains on and unpaired for Five minutes.
Pairing the pulse with a Bluetooth-enabled Device for the First Time

You can wirelessly connect the pulse with any Bluetooth-enabled device such as a mobile phone, PC, laptop or tablet, but first you must "pair" the pulse with your Bluetooth-enabled device by following these steps. First, turn on the pulse and then press and hold the MFB button for 6-8 seconds until the STATUS light alternates RED and BLUE. Congratulations, you are now in pair mode. Next, using your audio devices controls, find the Bluetooth settings and select the "pulse" headset connection. Depending on your device, you might have to enter a paring code. If so, use "0000". When successfully connected, the pulse's LED light will flash BLUE. The pulse's range is approximately 10 meters (33 feet) but range and functions vary according to device, so be sure to be near the Bluetooth-enabled device when paring and check your mobile or audio device's instruction manual for more details.
Note: You don't need to pair the devices each time you use the pulse. After pairing, the pulse will remember the most recently paired device and will always connect automatically until you un-pair the connection or pair the pulse with a different device.
To Un-pair the pulse
There are two ways to un-pair, or disconnect the pulse from the Bluetooth device. First, you can disconnect the pulse from paired mode by simply disabling the connection using the Bluetooth settings in your audio device. Or you can cancel the connection by pressing and holding the pulse's Volume up & Backward button for 3 seconds.
"Passive Mode"-Connecting using the 3.5mm or USB cable
If you don't have a Bluetooth-enabled device or simply do not want to use the pulse in pair mode, you can still connect the pulse to your audio device using cables just as you would with normal headphones. To do so, simply connect the pulse to your device using the included 3.5mms stereo input cable. Actually, this is method recommended, as it will save battery charge and still provide the same listening experience. We highly recommend you can use this mode when traveling on the aircraft. Absolutely, we have already prepared the Airline adapter for you in the box.
Using the pulse mobile phone functions:
With its integrated microphone, the pulse also supports full mobile phone functions. By using the controls you can pick up and place calls and switch between mobile phone and audio functions. To toggle between audio headset and cellular phone settings, simply press and hold the PHONE button on the side of the pulse. Then use your mobile phone as you normally would to make your call. When receiving an incoming call, the pulse will emit the incoming tone to alert you. Pick up the call by pressing the PHONE button once. If you don't want to be bothered, just press and hold the PHONE button to reject the call. During the call you can use the Vol+ or Vol- to adjust volume or mute the caller. If your mobile device has a hands free function or supports voice dial then you can use the pulse to perform those actions.
Care and Maintenance
- Keep the pulse dry and do not store in a damp place or submerge it in water.
- Do not expose the pulse to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
- High temperatures can shorten the life of the pulse, damage the battery and potentially distort certain parts of the pulse.
- Do not attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the pulse in any way.
- Do not drop or expose the pulse intense shock.
- Do not use chemicals or harsh detergents to clean the product.
