Pairing the headset with wireless devices

CAUTION
Danger of malfunction!
The transmitted radio waves of mobile devices can impair the operation of sensitive and unprotected devices.
Only make calls with the headset in locations where wireless Bluetooth transmission is permitted.
You can connect the headset either via Bluetooth to mobile device (e.g. smartphone, tablet) or together with the Dongle GSA 70 to a PC or PS4™. In order that data can be transmitted wirelessly, you have to pair your headset first. The delivered Dongle is already paired with the headset.
The headset complies with the Bluetooth 5.0 standard. Bluetooth devices need to support the “hands free profile” (HFP), the “headset profile” (HSP) or the “advanced audio distribution profile” (A2DP).
The headset can save up to eight paired devices.
If you pair the headset with a ninth device, the first device in the pairing list will be overwritten. If you want to re-establish a connection with this device, you have to pair it again.

Individually adjusting the headset

For good sound quality and best possible wearing comfort, the headset has to be adjusted to properly fit your head.
Wear the headset so that the headband runs over the top of your head.
Adjusting the headband and the boom arm
Adjust the headset so that
– your ears are comfortably covered by the ear pads, – you feel even, gentle pressure around your ears, – a snug fit of the headband on the head is ensured.
Bend the microphone boom so that the microphone is in line with your mouth and about 0.8” (2 cm) from the corner of your mouth.
Changing the contact pressure distribution
The headset pressure distribution may feel extra tight right out of the box, but the pressure will decrease slowly over time. You can also adjust the pressure:
Slide both Contact pressure distribution controls:
• down to reduce the pressure on the ears. • up to increase the pressure on the ears
