ZO2SMART START GUIDE
To avoid damage to your hearing, make sure all volume levels are turned down
before putting on headphones. Potential hearing damage may occur if you listen at
high volume levels for extended periods of time. If you experience ringing in your
ears, reduce the volume level to prevent permanent damage.
This manual is only for ZO2.3 devices featuring both a low and high gain mode.
CHARGING
• When the battery is low, a secondary red LED in the LightBar will blink.
• To recharge the battery, connect the mini-end of the supplied USB charging cable to ZO’s
charging port, and the other end to your computer’s USB port.
• When charging, the charge status indictor light will turn on. When fully charged, the light
