seen or heard in the television or radio signal. In this case, move
the product away from the TV or radio antenna.
• To protect the built-in rechargeable battery, charge it at least once
every 6 months. If too much time passes between charges, the life
of the rechargeable battery may be reduced, or the rechargeable
battery may no longer be able to be charged.
• The volume of the product differs depending on if the noisecancelling function is on or off.
• Operating with a sharp-tipped object, such as a ballpoint pen or
pencil, may not only result in incorrect operation, but could also
damage or break the touch panel.
• Do not tap (touch) the touch panel with the very tip of your finger.
Doing so may cause your fingernail to break.
• If the product does not operate at all or as intended when tapped,
check to make sure that your other fingers, parts of your hand, or

About the active noise-cancelling function
The product is designed to use its built-in microphone to pick up noise from the surrounding environment (noise from
vehicles, noise from air conditioners, etc.) and to cancel out that noise by producing sounds in negative phase. This
results in a reduction in the sounds in your environment.
• The product’s noise-cancelling function mainly reduces noises of 300 Hz or lower. Because of this, it has almost no
eect on noises above that frequency (ringtones, speaking voices, etc.).
• Not all sounds are cancelled.
• Depending on the type of noise (or in quiet locations), you may not notice the noise-cancelling eect.
• There is a “humming” sound when you turn on the noise-cancelling function. This is the sound of the noise-cancelling
function operating; it is not a malfunction.
• The noise-cancelling eect may vary or a bleep (howling) may occur depending on how you wear the product. In
these cases, take o the product and put it on again correctly.
• When you use the product in a train or a vehicle such as a bus or a truck, noise may be heard depending on rail/
street conditions.
For a more comfortable Bluetooth communication experience
The eective communication range of this product varies depending
on obstructions and radio wave conditions.
For a more enjoyable experience, please use the product as close
as possible to the Bluetooth device. To minimize noise and sound
disruptions, avoid placing your body or other obstacles between the
product’s antenna (L side) and the Bluetooth device.

Unlit: noise-cancelling and hear-through is o
Noise-cancelling
The built-in microphones pick up the noise around you, allowing the product to produce a sound-cancelling signal to
eectively reduce the noise. The noise-cancelling function turns on automatically when you turn on the power to the
product for the first time.
• There is a dierence in volume depending on whether the noise-cancelling function is on or o.
Hear-through
In the hear-through mode of the product, the ambient sound is audible through the built-in microphone even with the

Troubleshooting
SBC priority connections (for when sound is delayed significantly)
When the connection codec is AAC, significant sound delays can be alleviated by changing the connection codec to SBC,
which comes standard with Bluetooth devices.*
1
Connecting to an SBC priority connection
When the pairing with a Bluetooth device has been completed
1. Turn on the product.
2. With music or video paused, cover the 3 points on the touch panel with your palm
as shown in the figure. Continue touching the touch panel even after the noisecancelling function turns on or o (keep your hand in place for about 5 seconds).
• Once the multi-indicator lamp has flashed in white 2 times, the multi-indicator
lamp will begin to flash as follows: a quick, white light followed by a 3-second
interval, indicating the settings are complete.
• After the settings are complete, the Bluetooth device that was paired will be
automatically connected.*
Before pairing with a Bluetooth device
1. Turn on the product.
2. With the multi-indicator lamp showing the searching for device status, cover the 3 points on the touch panel with
your palm as shown in the figure. Continue touching the touch panel even after the noise-cancelling function turns on
or o (keep your hand in place for about 5 seconds).
• The multi-indicator lamp will turn o and then light in white. After that, it will switch to flashing in white.
3. While the multi-indicator lamp continues to flash in this manner (two white flashes followed by a 0.5-second interval),
refer to steps 2 and 3 in “Pairing a Bluetooth device” (p.7) to perform the pairing operation.
• The multi-indicator lamp will flash (a single, quick white flash followed by a 3-second interval) when the settings are
complete.
• After pairing via an SBC priority connection is complete, the only available connection codec will be SBC.
Connections using other codecs will not be possible.
• For details about the multi-indicator lamp’s flashing and lit displays, refer to “Multi-indicator lamp
display”(p.17).*

*1 Depending on the usage environment, changing to an SBC priority connection may not alleviate sound delays.
*2 If the product does not connect automatically, refer to “Pairing a Bluetooth device” (p.7), and do the procedures for pairing again.
*3 Turning the power off and then back on will result in a return to a normal connection and will enable connections using other codecs.
Perform the operations for an SBC priority connection each time it is necessary.
