Warning
Noise canceling headphones attenuate external low-pitched sounds. Be aware that when the active noise canceling feature is on auditory queues will sound different.
Do not use headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time as doing so 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.
Please visit www.osha.gov for more info.
It is advised to turn the volume on your music player all the way down before connecting your headphones. After the headphones are connected, gradually increase the volume until a comfortable listening level is achieved.
Do not store the headphones in direct sunlight,
near heating devices or in hot, humid or dusty places. Do not subject the headphones to strong impact.
Do not allow the headphones to become wet.

NoiseSHIELD NS63 Features
The NoiseSHIELD NS63 is a feature-rich high quality active noise canceling (ANC) headphone.
No batteries are necessary for the NoiseSHIELD NS63 to
work, however two AAA batteries are required for the ANC function to work.
Equipped with a jack on the left ear cup for a detachable
cable, the NoiseSHIELD NS63 works with any cable that has a standard 3.5mm plug. Both a standard audio cable and headset cable are included.
The Mute button on the left ear cup will mute the audio signal.
When on, ANC will remain active but audio will be muted while the mute button is pressed.
The ANC feature can be activated for noise reduction without
the audio cable plugged in for ANC-only functionality.
The NoiseSHIELD NS63 has a battery life of up to 32 hours
from a pair of AAA batteries for ANC functionality.
NoiseSHIELD technology blocks out unwanted external noise
without changing the sound of your music!

Troubleshooting
Problem
Ambient noise is not reduced
All outside sounds are not eliminated
No sound
Solution
Make sure the noise canceling function switch is in the ON position and the green light is lit; if the light is not lit, change the batteries
Adjust the headphones to completely cover your ears
Turn the power switch off and then on again to ensure synchronization of the noise canceling signal
The NS63 reduces external noise by up to -18dB and no ANC headset on the market can completely eliminate outside noises; Constant, low-frequency noises are reduced the most.
Check that the audio or headset cable is plugged into the NS63 completely and the other end is plugged completely into an audio source, audio is playing, and the volume is loud enough to hear
If you are using the headset cable with a computer, laptop, media player, or airplane headphone jack, the 4-pin headset plug may not be compatible; use the stereo audio cable instead
If you are using the headset cable, make sure the volume control is not at the minimum position; adjust both the volume on the device and headset cable to a comfortable level
Make sure the mute button is not being pressed
