5. Charging the batteries
The unit’s battery must be recharged before use.
The accessory micro-USB cable must be used for recharging the unit’s battery.
Connect the appropriate connector on the accessory micro-USB cable to the
micro-USB port on the headphones, and the USB plug on the other end to a
USB port on a computer.
• When recharging begins, the LED indicator on the headphones will light red.
• If recharging is performed with the unit’s power turned ON, the power will auto-
matically turn OFF. The unit cannot be used during recharging.
• Full recharging requires about 1.5 hours; when recharging is completed, the LED
indicator will turn off.
• With a full battery charge, the maximum continuous usable time is about 7.5
hours.
• When the rechargeable battery’s power become low, a beeping sound can be
heard from the unit once every 1 minutes, and the LED indicator flashes red. In
this case, recharge the battery before using the unit.
Note
• Battery recharging time and usable battery time may vary depending on ambient
temperature and frequency of use.
• Do not place metal objects near the headphones’ charging contacts, since dan-
gerous electrical shorts or abnormal heating may result.
Notes on battery charging
• This device cannot be used during charging.
• Battery performance is influenced by the surrounding temperature. Charge the
supplied rechargeable batteries within a temperature range of 5 to 35 degrees
celcius.
• Do not overcharge batteries. In order to protect batteries, do not repeatedly
charge the batteries that are already fully charged.
• Batteries become slightly warm when charging. This is not a malfunction.
• Please use the accessory micro-USB cable for recharging; using other cables
may result in malfunction.
• Recharging may not be possible if computer is in power-saving mode.
• Always confirm the proper shape and orientation of the micro-USB cable plugs
before attempting to connect to the headphones and computer.
• Do not use micro-USB cables when tightly twisted or bundled, since fire or elec-
tric shock might result.
• If you do not plan to use this product for an extended period, avoid storing it in a
hot or humid location (such as in a vehicle or in direct sunlight). Storage in such
locations may degrade the rechargeable battery and shorten the usable time.
• If you do not plan to use this product for an extended period, charge it for approx-
imately one hour before storing it. Long periods of storage with a full battery
or without any charge may degrade the rechargeable battery and shorten the
usable time.

paired device will be overwritten and lost. If you wish to reconnect to that device
on a subsequent occasions, it will be necessary to repeat pairing with that
device.
• Whenever using a device with which pairing has been performed, first turn on
the power to the wireless headphones, then perform the connection operation
for the paired Bluetooth device.
