Headset overview

Be safe

Charge your headset first. It takes 2-4 hours to fully charge. When charging, the headset LEDs

are solid red and turn off once your headset is charged.

NOTE When your headset battery is low, you will hear 3 tones as a reminder to charge your headset.

Your headset and adapter are factory pre-paired and automatically connect with each other.

Plug the wireless adapter into a USB port on your system. The wireless adapter flashes blue

then turns solid blue to indicate the headset is connected to your system.

Your headset works with any USB-compliant computer. The headset is automatically set as the

active audio device once the wireless USB Adapter is plugged in.

CAUTION Do not force the boom past its upper or lower limits.

The headset has a wireless range of up to 40 feet. However, wireless performance may be

affected by nearby objects including walls, metal items, and other wireless devices. When you

move the headset to the edge of its wireless range, audio may become distorted and will

eventually cut out (the wireless adapter flashes blue when out of range). Move closer to the

wireless adapter to restore clear audio.

NOTE If your headset and adapter are separated and lose their connection after being successfully

paired, they automatically reconnect when they come back into range of each other. If they remain

out of range for more than 30 seconds, the headset goes into sleep mode, but reconnects

automatically with the adapter once it is back in range. If the headset is out of range for more than

15 minutes, it automatically shuts off.
