PAIRING WITH BLUETOOTH DEVICES

*** Your headset must be paired to a Bluetooth device before it can be used.

It is only necessary to pair your headset once with each device ***

Make sure the Air-Fi Rumble is turned off and within 1 meter of your device.
Press and hold the Multifunction ( ) button for about 6 seconds until
you hear the headphone say “ready to pair, turn on Bluetooth, the pin code
is 0000”. The status indicator light will flash red and blue in an alternating
pattern while the Air-Fi Rumble is in pairing mode. (Note: The Air-Fi Rumble
will enter standby mode if not paired within 10 minutes.)

Open the Bluetooth menu on the device you wish to pair (see Locating
the Bluetooth Menu section below for more details). Some devices
require you to select “search for devices” or “add new device” in order to
create a Bluetooth pairing.

Wait until you see “Air-Fi Rumble” on your device screen.

Select “Air-Fi Rumble” on your device and follow any further prompts to
pair. Use “0000” if a pin is required.

MULTIPOINT

Multipoint Pairing

Multipoint allows two Bluetooth devices to be connected to the Air-Fi Rumble
simultaneously. Both devices will need to be paired before multipoint can
be used.

To use two Bluetooth devices with the Air-Fi Rumble, 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 Air-Fi Rumble 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 Rumble” from the Bluetooth menu of the
device.

If you no longer wiso connect to multiple devices, disable Bluetooth on the
device you do not want connected to the Air-Fi Rumble or remove the “Air-Fi
Rumble” pairing from the Bluetooth menu of the device.

Multipoint Functionality

Status Function Operation

Media playing
on one device

Play media on other device

Pause audio playback on the active
device and start audio playback on the
other connected device*

*It may take up to 10 seconds for audio to switch

Note: Incoming calls will always take precedence over other audio. If two
phones are connected to the Air-Fi Rumble, an incoming call on either phone
will trigger a ringtone alert and media playback will be paused if the call is
answered. Once the call is terminated, the Air-Fi Rumble 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 Air-Fi Rumble 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 Air-Fi Rumble 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 Air-Fi Rumble will not work in wired mode.

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 con­necting your headphones, then gradually increase the volume until you reach
a comfortable listening level.

SAFETY AND CARE

When not in use, power the headphones off and store in the included
protective carrying case.

Clean with a soft cloth, damp with diluted soap water solution if
necessary. Do not use chemical cleaners.

There are no user replaceable/reparable parts in the headphones.
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
Battery performance will be severely decreased when stored in extreme

temperatures: below -10°C/14°F or above 45°C/113°F including direct
sunlight.
