Headset Charging
Even when the Elite 800X operates via wired connection to mobile devices, it can still use the internal amplifier and so requires
power from its rechargeable battery. When charging, the Transmitter LED will glow Red.
NOTE: In order to achieve and maintain optimal battery performance for your Turtle Beach wireless headset, proper care is
required when charging and storing. Always charge the battery before storing the unit for more than 3 months! Never store the
unit in temperatures above 113°F/45°C. Store the headset at room temperature (72°F/22.5°C) and at humidity below 75%.
1. Connect the Elite 800X Transmitter to the Xbox One with the USB Transmitter Cable.
2. Place the Headset on the Transmitter. Align the charging contacts on the right earcup of the Headset with the charging pins
on the right side of the Transmitter.
NOTE: The Status LED on the front of the Transmitter will turn Red when the Headset is properly seated on the Transmitter.
If the Status LED is Green or Orange, remove the headset from the base, wait 10 seconds and place the headset back onto the
transmitter.
It is also possible to recharge the Headset during game play, with the use of a third-party USB-A-to-micro-USB cable, sold
separately. We recommend a cable of sufficient length for comfortable game play.
1. Connect the Elite 800X Headset to the Xbox One with a USB Micro Charging Cable.
NOTE: The Power LED on the Headset does not indicate charging status when you recharge via USB cable.
WARNING: Never fully deplete the battery then put the unit in storage, as this may cause irreversible damage to the battery.
Following these simple guidelines will ensure that your Turtle Beach wireless headset will provide many hours of enjoyment.
