Veelgestelde vragen

Wat is de pincode van de hoofdtelefoon?

De pincode is "1234". Dit wordt ook wel de Bluetooth-wachtcode, -code of -wachtwoord genoemd.

Kan ik de pincode wijzigen?

Nee. De pincode is vooraf ingesteld voor de Bluetooth-hoofdtelefoon.

Wat is koppeling?

De eerste verbinding tussen twee Bluetooth-apparaten waarmee een permanente veilige verbinding tot stand wordt gebracht. Op een apparaat wordt een veilige pincode ingevoerd die het andere apparaat moet bevestigen.

Hoeveel bedraagt het draadloze bereik van de hoofdtelefoon?

Bluetooth is ontworpen voor communicatie over korte afstand. Het bereik is afhankelijk van het externe apparaat en bedraagt ongeveer 10 m bij de stereoadapter en bij gebruik van de USB-adapter maximaal 25 m. Het bereik kan minder zijn vanwege van de omgevingsomstandigheden.

Is het nodig om de Bluetooth-hoofdtelefoon en het andere Bluetooth-apparaat voor elk gebruik te koppelen?

Nee, dat hoeft maar één keer te gebeuren. Na een geslaagde koppeling hoeft de hoofdtelefoon alleen verbinding te maken met het externe apparaat.

Ondersteunt de Bluetooth verschillende gelijktijdige verbindingen?

Ja. U kunt de hoofdtelefoon gelijktijdig gebruiken met de stereoadapter of USB-adapter en een mobiele telefoon. Sommige merken zijn echter mogelijk niet compatibel. Het is niet mogelijk om twee audioverbindingen via de stereoadapter en USB-adapter tegelijk tot stand te brengen.

Ondersteunt het besturingswieltje alle MP3-spelers?

Nee. Het besturingswieltje is een speciale functie die is ontworpen voor Windows Media Player.

Bijlage

Waarom wordt de muziek niet gedempt/hervat bij het koppelen van een audioafspeelapparaat en een mobiele telefoon? Sommige merken mobiele telefoons zijn mogelijk niet compatibel. Als u de Bluetooth-hoofdtelefoon met slechts één apparaat gebruikt, doet deze incompabiliteit zich niet voor. Bij het gebruik van de stereoadapter in combinatie met een MP3-speler is het volume te zacht. Het uitvoervermogen van audioafspeelapparatuur varieert. De stereoadapter kent twee versterkingsmodi. Als u tweemaal (in plaats van eenmaal) op de regelknop op de stereoadapter klikt terwijl u verbinding maakt met de hoofdtelefoon, wordt het uitvoervolume hoger. Wat is een A2DP-profiel? Dit is een nieuwe Bluetooth-standaard voor de stereokwaliteit van het verzonden signaal. De Bluetooth-hoofdtelefoon en stereoadapter en de USB-adapter ondersteunen deze standaard. Wat is AVRCP? AVRCP staat voor "Audio/Video Remote Control Profile" en is een Bluetooth-service die afstandsbedieningsfuncties zoals Afspelen en Stoppen biedt.

Introduction and Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing these Bluetooth stereo headphones. These headphones have been designed for receiving wireless high-quality stereo sound from audio playback devices. The range with stereo adapter is approx. 10 m, and when using the USB adapter up to 25 m. The different accessories allow a flexible use of your headphones. Just connect the supplied stereo adapter to any audio playback device (e.g. MP3 player, Hifi equipment, TV) to listen to the radio or watch TV wireless. The system also includes a Bluetooth USB adapter that can be connected to a computer. Please read this User's Manual carefully in order to take advantage of the full functionality of the headphones.

Charging the Batteries

To charge the batteries connect the stereo headphones and the stereo adapter to the Y cable (see figure). Next connect the power adapter to the Y cable and connect the power adapter to  a wall outlet. A red indicator will illuminate on both device to indicate the charging in progress. As soon as the indicator stops lighting, the charging cycle is completed. Then you may disconnect all the cables and pull the power adapter out from the mains socket. 

Note

The first-time charging of the batteries requires approx. four hours, any future charging cycles will require approx. two hours. A fully charged battery allows approx. eight hours of operation and approx. 165 hours of standby. Optionally, instead of the power adapter (6) you may also use the USB charger cable (4). Notice to notebook computer users: Charging via the USB charger cable will discharge the notebook battery faster.

Pairing with the Stereo Adapter

After you have charged the batteries of the Bluetooth stereo headphones and the Bluetooth stereo adapter (see page 8 – Charging the Batteries), you are ready to use both devices to wireless listen to the stereo music from a MP3 player. To do so, first you have to synchronize both the headphones and the stereo adapter. This process is more commonly known as "pairing". During the pairing process, both device shouldn't be separated more than 3 m (10 feet) in order to guarantee a hassle-free functionality. For any future usage, once the pairing is completed, you will only have to connect or disconnect both devices. The pairing is only required before the first-time use.  Moving the main switch into "On" position First toggle the main switch (6) to turn the Bluetooth stereo headphones on. You will find it on the right-hand earpiece that also contains the microphone. Move the switch to the "On" position to turn the power on. The blue indicator on the right earpiece starts blinking to indicate that the device is ready.

Pairing with the Stereo Adapter

 Plugging the audio connector into the audio playback device Next plug the stereo adapter connector into your audio playback device (e.g. an MP3 player). You may use any audio playback device with a 3.5mm audio plug. Starting the pairing on the stereo adapter Press and hold the control button on the stereo adapter for at least six seconds until the red and blue control indicators flash alternating. The stereo adapter is now ready to connect to a remote device. 

Note

If the stereo adapter was already powered on, it is not possible to start the pairing mode. In this case, you must turn it off first by keeping the control button pressed until it powers off.

The corresponding red and blue indicators on the headphones will also flash. After a few moments, both devices will be synchronized and the alternate red and blue indicator flashing will stop. Now only the blue indicators will blink three times at constant intervals. This indicates that both devices are connected to a remote device. You have successfully completed the pairing and will be able to listen to the audio source through the headphones. 

Note

The pairing between two Bluetooth devices is required only once. After the devices "know each other", you only need to connect or disconnect them when you want to use them (see page 12 – Using the Stereo Adapter).

Using the Stereo Adapter

Once you have successfully paired the headphones and the stereo adapter, you only need to connect or disconnect them when you want to use them. Disconnecting the stereo adapter from the headphones To disconnect the Bluetooth connection between both devices, press and hold the control button on the stereo adapter for approx. one or two seconds. The audio connection gets lost and the blinking frequency of the blue indicator will change from 3 short to 1 short light. The device is now in idle mode. Powering the stereo adapter off In order to power the stereo adapter off after it has been disconnected, press and hold the control button for approx. four to five seconds. The red indicator on the stereo adapter will blink 4 times shortly to confirm and the device powers off. Powering the stereo adapter on Press and hold the control button for approx. four to five seconds until the blue indicator lights up to indicate idle mode. Establishing a connection to the headphones After the blue indicator on the stereo adapter indicates idle mode, you can establish a connection with the paired headphones by pressing the control button once. This process may take a few seconds.

Adjusting the Volume

To adjust the volume, press the volume buttons on the right earpiece. Vol – lowers the volume.  

Note

The stereo adapter also offers the possibility to adjust the volume for devices that have a low-power output.
