FOR THE SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL OPERATION AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS USER MANUAL BEFORE USE.

General Safety Information

callpod

Do not open the Onyx headset as contents may cause electric shock.

Only use approved Callpod® - branded accessories and components

as well as specied compatible electronic devices to ensure proper

operation.

Please use the Onyx headset responsibly while traveling.

Page 5

The successive and long-term use of any headset or speakers at high volumes can potentially affect a user’s hearing capacity. This can result in Noise Induced Hearing Loss (“NIHL”). NIHL may occur if a headset is used at maximum or high

volumes for more than ve (5) minutes per day and if medium volumes are used

for more than one (1) hour per day. The human ear will typically adapt to a constant volume level set on a headset speaker. If this volume is changed to a higher level, it may, over time, result in damage to the ear even though no discomfort is felt. Exposure to sound at a close range, even at lower levels, could potentially result in hearing loss. The Onyx headset can reach a maximum volume of approximately 100 decibels. This volume is controlled by the user through both the headset volume control as well as via the mobile device that it is paired to (e.g. cell phone).

Like stereos and other sound emitting products that use speakers, please exercise personal care to select a comfortable volume. Please do not use this product at high volume levels.

WARNING - Volume Levels: Always Protect Your Hearing

Bluetooth® technology allows devices to communicate without wires over a short range. The Onyx is compliant with Bluetooth® Specication 2.0, which supports the Headset Prole 1.1 and Hands-

free Prole 1.5.

The Onyx uses advanced Dual-mic Noise Suppression™ that is always “ON.” In order for the headset to function properly, the two microphones must be positioned towards your mouth. This is easy to do. Once the headset is put on your ear, simply rotate the headset towards your mouth until the ear bud is compressed comfortably against your ear. The microphones will align automatically towards your mouth as shown below:

Before using your Callpod® Onyx headset, you must fully charge the headset. Charge the Onyx using the included wall adapter, car charger (sold separately), USB cable or with the Chargepod® (sold separately). The Onyx is powered by an internal lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Please do not attempt to remove

the battery from the case, as damage will occur to the headset and void your warranty.

The red indicator light will turn on during charging. It may take a moment before charging starts, and it may take up to 2 hours to fully charge the battery. When

charging is complete, the red LED will turn off.

If the battery becomes low on power while the headset is in use, you will hear a short beep every 20 seconds.

Care and Maintenance

•

callpod

Page 21

A rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers the Onyx headset. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. To charge the Onyx headset, use only Callpod® designated power supplies and adapters.

Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the lifetime of the internal battery.

Never use a damaged charger. Leaving a device in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce its battery capacity and life. A device with a very hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in

temperatures well below freezing. Do not dispose of batteries in a re, as they

may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations and recycle when possible.
