CHARGING

*** You must completely charge the headphones before the first use ***

Connect the USB charging cable to any powered USB port and to the 3.5mm
jack on the right earcup. Make sure it is plugged in fully. Charge time is
typically 2-3 hours.

The red LED light will stay lit while the headphones are charging and will blink
or turn off completely when the headphones are ready for use. A blinking red
LED light indicates a trickle charge mode, whereby the battery is charged
almost fully and the headphones are maintaining their current charge level.

Note: the Runaway cannot be turned on or used while charging.

When the battery is low, the headphones will say “Battery low” every
60 seconds and the red light will flash three times every three seconds.

Apple® devices such as the iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod® Touch will display a
headphone battery indicator when the Runaway is connected.

TURNING ON AND OFF

To turn on, press and hold the Multifunction button for approximately 3
seconds. The headphones will say “Power on” and the blue LED light will flash.

To turn off, press and hold the Multifunction button for approximately 4
seconds. The headphones will say “Power off” and the red LED light will flash.

PAIRING WITH BLUETOOTH DEVICES

*** Your headphones must be paired to a Bluetooth device before they can be

used. It is only necessary to pair your headphones once with each device. ***

1) Open the Bluetooth menu on the device you wish to pair (see Locating
the Bluetooth Menu on page 5 for more details). Some devices require

you to select “Search for Devices” or “Add New Device” in order to create a
Bluetooth pairing.

2) With the headphones turned off, press and hold the Multifunction button for
approximately 6 seconds until the headphones say “Pairing”. The red and
blue LED lights will flash in an alternating pattern while the Runaway is in
pairing mode. (Note: The Runaway will enter standby mode if not paired
within 90 seconds.)

3) Wait until you see “MEE audio Runaway” on your device screen.

4) Select “MEE audio Runaway” on your device and follow any further prompts
to pair. Use “0000” if a pin is required. Once pairing is complete and a
connection is established, the blue LED light will flash several times.

MULTIPOINT

Multipoint allows two Bluetooth devices to be connected to the Runaway
simultaneously, providing additional flexibility for your multimedia experience.

1. MULTIPOINT PAIRING

To use two Bluetooth devices with the Runaway, first pair them by following
the pairing procedure described in the Pairing with Bluetooth Devices
section on Page 4 for each device and then turn off the headphones. Both
devices will need to be paired before multipoint can be used.

When turned on again, the Runaway will automatically attempt to connect to
the 2 most recently-paired devices, as long as they have Bluetooth enabled
and are within range. If a device that has already been paired does not
connect automatically, select “MEE audio Runaway” from the Bluetooth menu
of the device.

If you no longer wish to connect to multiple devices, disable Bluetooth on the
device you do not want connected to the Runaway or remove the “MEE audio
Runaway” pairing from the Bluetooth menu of the device.

USE AS WIRED HEADPHONE

The Runaway can be used as a wired headphone by plugging one end of
the included stereo audio cable into the 3.5mm jack on the Runaway and the
other end into any audio device with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
Plugging the audio cable into the headphone will disable Bluetooth
functionality until the cable is unplugged.

Note: the built-in microphone of the Runaway will not work when the
headphones are used in wired mode.

SAFETY AND CARE

• When not in use, power the headphones off and store in a cool, dry place.
Battery performance will be severely decreased when stored in extreme

sunlight.

• Clean with a soft cloth, damp with diluted soap water solution if necessary.
Never use chemical cleaners.

• There are no user replaceable/reparable parts in the headphone.
Disassembling it will void your warranty.

• Do not expose the headphones to liquids. If the device comes in contact
with liquids, quickly wipe away. If submersed in water, do not turn the
device on until completely dried. Note: liquid submersion voids the
warranty.

• Do not use around flammable gasses as fire or explosion may occur

• Replacement parts and accessories are available online at

www.MEEaudio.com

WARNING:

Using headphones at high to moderate volumes for extended periods of
time will result in permanent hearing damage. It is advised you keep volume
levels moderate to low at all times for your safety. Do not use while driving a
car, cycling, operating machinery, or performing other activities that require
hearing surrounding sounds.

It is advised to turn the volume on your device all the way down before
