MULTIPOINT

Multipoint allows two Bluetooth devices to be connected to the Wave
simultaneously. Both devices will need to be paired before multipoint can be
used.

Multipoint Pairing

To use two Bluetooth devices with the Wave, first pair them by following the
pairing procedure described in the Pairing with Bluetooth devices section for
each device and then turn off the headset.

When turned on again, the Wave 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 “Air-Fi Wave” 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 Wave or remove the “Air-Fi Wave”
pairing from the Bluetooth menu of the device.

Incoming calls will always take precedence over media. If media is playing
on one device and an incoming call is received on the other device, the Wave
will pause the media on the active device and activate the device with the
incoming call. Once the call is ended, the Wave will reactivate the original
device and resume playback (with most media applications).

For phone call controls, see the Controlling Phone Calls section.

USING AS A WIRED HEADPHONE

The Wave can be used as a wired headphone by plugging one end of the
included stereo audio cable into the jack on the left earcup and the other end
into any audio device with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. This allows
use when the battery is depleted and with devices that do not have Bluetooth
(such in-flight entertainment systems) or aren’t paired.

The Wave can be used wired while also connected via Bluetooth to another
device; Bluetooth audio takes precedence over wired audio. Wired audio will
be partially muted whenever a signal is transmitted via Bluetooth and will
resume approximately 4 seconds after the Bluetooth transmission ends.

Note: The built-in microphone of the Wave will not work in wired mode.

WARNING

Using headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time will result
in permanent hearing damage. It is advised you keep volume levels medium
to low at all times for your safety. Do not use while driving a car, cycling,
