Preventing damage to health and accidents

▷ Protect your hearing from high volume levels. Permanent

hearing damage may occur when headphones are used at high volume levels for long periods of time. Sennheiser headphones sound exceptionally good at low and medium volume levels.

▷ The product generates stronger permanent magnetic

fields that could cause interference with cardiac pace makers, implanted defibrillators (ICDs) and other implants. Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94"/10 cm between the product component containing the magnet and the cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implant.

▷ Keep the product, accessories and packaging parts out of reach

of children and pets to prevent accidents. Swallowing and chok ing hazard.

▷ Do not use the product in an environment that requires your spe-

cial attention (e.g. in traffic or when performing skilled jobs). Especially the product’s active noise cancellation can make ambi ent noise inaudible or drastically change the perception of acoustic warning signals.

Preventing damage to the product and malfunctions

▷ Always keep the product dry and do not expose it to extreme tem-

peratures (hairdryer, heater, extended exposure to sunlight, etc.) to avoid corrosion or deformation. The normal operating tempera ture is from 0 °C to 40 °C/32 °F to 104 °F.

▷ To avoid loud, unusual (whistling or beeping) noise and to ensure

proper noise cancellation, do not cover the microphone openings of the active noise cancellation circuitry located on the outside of the ear cups.

▷ Use only attachments/accessories/spare parts supplied or rec-

ommended by Sennheiser.

▷ Clean the non-leather parts of the product only with a soft, dry

cloth

Caring for leather parts

Information on the rechargeable battery and the charging process

The headphones have a built-in rechargeable battery. A complete charging cycle takes approx. 3 hours. The headphones provide 1.5 hours of playback time with a charging time of approx. 10 minutes. Before using the headphones for the first time, charge the recharge able battery for a complete charging cycle without interruption.

When the headphones are being charged, the LED lights up (> 7). When the battery charge drops to a critical level, a voice prompt asks you to recharge the headphones (“Recharge headset”).

Sennheiser recommends to charge the headphones using the supplied USB-C cable and a compatible standard USB-C power supply unit.

While the headphones are being charged, you can still listen to music or make phone calls. In this case, however, the charging time may be longer.

Connecting the headphones to a Bluetooth device

To be able to use the Bluetooth connection, you must register both devices (headphones and e.g. smartphone) once. This process is called pairing.

If your Bluetooth device supports auto pairing via NFC (Near Field Communication), the connection is automatically established.

If your Bluetooth device does not support NFC, use the device settings for the pairing process.

If operation differs from the steps mentioned, also refer to the instruction manual of the Bluetooth device you are using.

When you switch on the headphones for the first time, they automatically switch to pairing mode.

Information on the Bluetooth wireless connection

The headphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0.

If your audio source supports one of the following high-resolution audio encoding methods, music is automatically played in high audio quality: aptX, aptX LL or AAC. Otherwise the headphones will play your music in normal audio quality (SBC).

Paired devices establish the Bluetooth wireless connection immediately after switch-on and are ready for use.

On switch-on, the headphones automatically try to connect to the last two connected Bluetooth devices. The headphones can save the connection profiles of up to eight Bluetooth devices with which they have been paired.

MOMENTUM Wireless M3AEBTXL | 11

Using the headphones

If you pair the headphones with the ninth Bluetooth device, the saved connection profile of the least used Bluetooth device will be over written. If you want to re-establish a connection with the overwritten Bluetooth device, you have to pair the headphones again.
