Setting Up Your Headset

Set up your headset in three simple steps:

1. Charge your headset

2. Connect your headset

3. Install the software

Step 1:Charge Your Headset

You are recommended to charge your headset before it is used for the first time. Connect your headset

to your computer using the USB cable, or connect it to a power supply via an adapter (available

separately). The LED will light in red when charging.

Using Your Headset While Charging

During subsequent charges, you can use your headset while it charges. The LED will light in red while

charging and return to its last status when fully charged.

You can also check the status of the battery via the battery indicator at the top right corner of the Sound

Blaster JAM Control Panel. Please refer to Using the Software for details.

Note:

The low battery tone will start beeping to inform users of its status 15 minutes before the headset is

completely powered off.

Step 2:Connect Your Headset

Turn on your Sound Blaster JAM by pressing the Multifunction button.

lTurn ON: Press and hold 2 seconds

lTurn OFF:Press and hold 4 seconds

Bluetooth Pairing

1. Activate pairing mode on the headset

Turn on your headset. If the headset has not been paired with any devices previously, it will go into

Bluetooth discoverable mode. Otherwise, it will be automatically paired to previously paired devices.

The Bluetooth discoverable mode is only available for 60 seconds after the headset is turned on. To

activate Bluetooth again, press the Multifunction button for 2 seconds. The LED will begin to blink

quickly in blue for 60 seconds while waiting to be connected.

2. Activate pairing mode on your device

Activate Bluetooth on your smart device. From the list of discovered Bluetooth devices, select "Sound

Blaster JAM".

Note:

Bluetooth pairing between these devices may vary depending upon the model type. Consult your

device’s manual on how to pair.

3. Pairing success

When the headset and the Bluetooth device are paired, the LED will flash slowly in blue to indicate

successful pairing before returning to its default / last status.

Pairing Multiple Devices

The Sound Blaster JAM is able to pair up to two smart devices at the same time! To have the second

device paired, repeat steps 1 to 3. If a user wishes to pair the headset with a third smart device, one of

the two devices that are currently paired with the headset has to be unpaired.

Note:

Only one of the devices is able to play music at one time. The last paired smart device takes

precedence over the other device.

When there's an incoming call, the call takes precedence over audio playback -- music fades out and

the ringtone will be heard.

NFCPairing

Bring your NFC-enabled device close (20mm) to the NFC zone / Multifunction button. The LED will

blink slowly in blue and a 3-note tone will be heard to indicate successful pairing. Play music from your

device and experience superb audio realism and stunning 3D surround effects.

If you wish to unpair the devices, simply tap your NFC device on the headset again.
