Charging

Troubleshooting

When using the headphones for the first time after purchase or when the

remaining power of the rechargeable battery is low, charge the battery. The headphones can be used for approximately 4 hours of music playback when

fully charged. It takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge the rechargeable battery from the

state of no remaining battery power. The headphones can be used for approximately 1 hour of music playback after

charging for approximately 20 minutes.

Appendix

NOTE

When the dedicated charging cable is connected to the headphones, the power of

the headphones turns off and the mode becomes charging mode. Before use after charging, disconnect the cable from the headphones and turn on the power.

When connecting the dedicated charging cable to the charging port, be sure to

match the cable connector with the shape of the socket. Forcing the connector into the socket will cause damage.

The rating of the charging output should be DC 5 V, 2.4 A or less.

The usable time of the headphones differs depending on the temperature of the

environment in which they are used and method of use.

Checking the remaining battery power

The remaining power of the rechargeable battery can be checked from the number of beeps or audio guidance. Furthermore, it can also be checked from the number of times the LED flashes red. Turn on the power and press the call button twice in succession when a call is not in progress.

Number of beeps Number of times LED

flashes red

Four times Four times Approx. 4 hours

Three times Three times Approx. 3 hours

Twice Twice Approx. 2 hours

Alert tone Once Less than 1 hours

Remaining time of rechargeable battery

Troubleshooting

When the remaining power of the rechargeable battery is running low, the LED

flashes red at approximately 3-second intervals together with a beeping sound. You can also check the remaining power of the rechargeable battery on an iPhone. (*)

The remaining power of the rechargeable battery can be displayed as a

percentage (%) on an iPhone, but this number is an approximate value.

Wearing the headphones

These headphones are supplied with different sizes of ear rings and ear tips for adjusting the fit. Use the combination that best suits your ears in order to find the most comfortable fit. (v p. 20)

Wear the headphones as described below.

Insert the ear tip of the “L” of the headphones into the

left ear, and the ear tip of the “R” into the right ear.

When using the Comply (TM) form ear tips that are already

attached to the headphones, mold the ear tips with your fingers before inserting in your ears.

Lift the hook parts of the headphones over the ears and

then hook them behind the ears as shown in the figure.

Adjusting the length of the headphones cable

Attach the supplied slider to the headphones cable as shown in the figure and then adjust the length of the cable. Setting the slider to the position in the figure will make it difficult for any vibration sound resulting from the cable moving up and down during jogging to be transmitted to the ears.

NOTE

Do not forcefully pull or bundle the cable. The cable may break resulting in the

inability to output sound. After attaching the slider, check that it does not become detached by vibration.

Precautions for Use

Be sure to read the Owner’s Manual of the device that you want to connect.

Check the volume settings when using the headphones on public transport or in public places and make sure you do not disturb people around you.

These headphones are not guaranteed to work with all combinations of Bluetooth devices/mobile phones.

These headphones do not support connection with all Bluetooth devices/mobile phones.

Bluetooth wireless technology can communicate over a distance of approximately 10 m. However, obstructions (people, metallic objects, walls, etc.)

and radio wave conditions affect the range in which communication is possible. The Bluetooth device that you want to connect must support the same profile as these headphones in order to use the Bluetooth function. For details on

profiles that the Bluetooth device is compatible with, see the Bluetooth device Owner’s Manual. Due to features of Bluetooth wireless technology, playback of audio on the headphones is slightly delayed compared to the voice/audio playback on the

transmitting device.

Precautions regarding sweat-resistance performance

These headphones are a product with a sweat-resistance performance equivalent to IPX7(*1) and IPX5(*2).

You can exercise in the rain, touch it with wet hands, and have it exposed to limited water spray. Please do not connect and charge unit if there is water / moisture at the USB connecter. Please wipe it off and wait until dry.

Do not swim with this product.

Do not wash this product.

The sweat resistant performance of the system is based on our measurements under the conditions herein described. Note that malfunctions as a

result of water immersion caused by misuse by the customer are not covered by the warranty.

(*1) IPX7 (Degree of protection against water immersion): Water will not enter the system and it will remain functional even if the system is gently immersed in a tank of tap water (static water) at a normal temperature at a depth of 1 meter for approx. 30 minutes.

(*2) IPX5 (Degree of protection against jets of water): The system has been tested and found to remain functional after exposure to direct jet streams of water using a nozzle of 6.3 mm internal diameter from any direction where approximately 12.5 l/min of water is applied for a period of more than 3 minutes from a distance of about 3 meters.
