Frequently Asked Questions - DK-M40 KIDdesigns

How do I connect the DK-M40 headphones to my device?

Insert the 3.5mm plug firmly into the headphone jack of your music player or game device. Ensure it is fully inserted; otherwise, sound may only come from one side.

How can I adjust the volume?

Use the in-line volume control on the headphone cable. Also adjust the volume on your device. For best sound, set device volume to 50% and fine-tune with the headphones.

Why do I hear sound from only one side?

The plug may not be fully inserted into the audio jack. Push it in completely. Also ensure the cable is not damaged. If problem persists, try another device.

Are these headphones safe for children?

Yes, but monitor volume. Start at a low level and increase gradually. Prolonged high-volume listening can damage hearing. Do not use while crossing streets or cycling.

What is the warranty coverage?

eKids offers a limited 1-year warranty from original purchase date covering defects in materials and workmanship. Return to store or send to eKids with proof of purchase and a $10 fee.

How do I clean the headphones?

Wipe the ear cups and headband with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Avoid getting moisture into the speakers.

Can I use these headphones for gaming?

Yes, they are compatible with devices that have a 3.5mm headphone jack, including game consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. They provide clear audio and passive noise isolation.

How do I adjust the fit?

The ear cups can slide up or down along the headband. Align the L and R markings correctly; the cable should hang on your left side.

What should I do if the headphone cable gets tangled?

Gently untangle by hand. Avoid pulling sharply. Store the headphones with the cable loosely coiled to prevent knots. Do not wrap the cable tightly around the headband.

Where can I find the full user manual?

The full manual is available for free download in PDF format from notice-facile.com or the eKids website (www.ekids.com). It includes safety instructions and warranty details.

Using Your Headphones

The ear cups are marked “L” and “R”; when worn properly the headphone cable will be on your left side. The two ear cups may be adjusted up or down for most comfortable fit.

Connect the headphone plug to the headphone jack of your music player. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the jack. If the plug is not fully inserted you may only hear sound from one side of the headphones.

To protect your hearing, always start listening with the Volume Control of your music player or game player set to a low level and gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.

Note: You may have to adjust the volume control on your music player as well as the In-Line Volume Control on your headphones to find the most satisfactory sound level. If one control is set too low and the other is set too high, the sound may be distorted. Try setting the volume control on your music player halfway between the Min and Max settings, and then use the In-Line Volume Control on your headphones to make final adjustments.

IMPORTANT! Listening at high volume for long periods of time can result in long-term hearing damage. For your safety, do not use headphones if they would prevent you from hearing warning sounds, such as while driving a car or motorcycle, riding a bike, etc. Remember that noise isolation type earphones such as these are very effective in blocking outside noise, including warning sounds. Always be aware of your surroundings and do not use these earphones in situations that require you to hear warning sounds.
