Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

Active Noise Cancellation suppresses ambient noise, especially low-frequency noise such as aircraft engines and road
noise. The system works by sensing outside noise with the built-in microphones and sending an equal-but-opposite
signal into the headphones. The soft cushions of the i30 also help block external sound, providing an added level of
noise reduction.

To turn on Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) when the headset is on, press the Power/ANC Button. The Status

Troubleshooting Tips

No Sound

Possible Cause… Solution

Bluetooth volume control turned down Press the Bluetooth Volume Up button.

Headset is off Check that the headset is powered on. The Status LED on the

left ear cup should be flashing either red or white.

Voice Chat Drops

Most in-game voice chat drops are caused by network congestion or “lag.” They usually subside after a few moments so
please be patient. In extreme cases, you may need to leave the game and return to reset the chat function. If you use a
wireless internet connection, low signal strength from your modem/router can make the voice chat malfunction. For best
results, we recommend a wired connection from your modem/router to your Mac.

Bluetooth not working

Try using the Bluetooth pairing instructions (See “Bluetooth Operation and Setup”on page 9) to pair your headset to
a different Bluetooth-ready mobile phone than the one you usually use. With the headset paired to the phone, call a
friend/relative. Is the person you are calling able to hear you? Are you able to hear the person you are calling? If you’re
experiencing the same issue with two different phones, you will want to contact our support team via the link below.

Bluetooth audio quality

If you are Bluetooth paired to your Mac, after your chat or call is completed you may experience a drop in audio quality.
You will need to set your headset back to stereo. See “Chat / VoIP Setup” on page 20.

Headset not powering on

The battery may be depleted. Charge your headset for 8 hours. (You may use the headset while recharging.) See
“Charging the Headset” on page 21.

If your issue is not resolved by these steps.

Important Safety Information

To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it.
WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so

it is important to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may
not cause initial discomfort can still damage your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears after listening with the
headset, it means the volume is set too loud. The louder the volume is set, the less time it takes to affect your hearing.
So, please take care to listen at moderate levels.

· Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely, then slowly increase it to a comfortable level.

· Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

· Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY FOR TURTLE BEACH PRODUCTS:

Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc. (“VTB”) warrants to the original end-user purchaser (“Purchaser”) that the retail Turtle Beach hardware product herein
(“Product”) will be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase by the Purchaser (“Warranty
Period”). Any Extended Warranty or Service Plans purchased through a Retail store are not honored by VTB. The Warranty refers to the repair/
replacement of a defective product during this period and not a refund.

This limited warranty is extended only to the original Purchaser of a new product, which was not sold “AS IS”. It is not transferable or assignable to any
subsequent purchaser. This limited warranty is applicable only in the country or territory where the Product was purchased from an authorized VTB
retailer and does not apply to a Product that has been purchased as used or refurbished or was included as part of a non-VTB product.

WARRANTY SERVICE:
In the USA and CANADA Warranty Service is provided by our Turtle Beach USA offices and in all other Countries it is provided by our local International
Distributors when available. Refurbished/Recertified products are sold on an AS IS basis with a 90-day Warranty or less in accordance with each
vendor’s policy.

VTB does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Product and is under no obligation to support the Product for all computer operating
systems or future versions of such operating systems.

If a defect should occur during the Warranty Period, Purchaser must contact VTB to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”) number on the
basis of the dated purchase receipt. Purchaser will be responsible for shipping costs incurred in returning the defective Product to an authorized VTB
service center, or to the repair facility located at VTB’s corporate headquarters. VTB will not be responsible for other products or accessories included
with the defective Product sent to VTB. The RMA number must be clearly indicated on the outside of the package. Packages without an RMA number
will be refused by VTB or its representatives and returned to sender at the sender’s expense.

In the event of a defect, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, and VTB’s sole liability, is expressly limited to the correction of the defect by
adjustment, repair, or replacement of the Product at VTB’s sole option and expense. VTB owns all Products it has replaced and all parts removed from
repaired Products. VTB uses new and reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and building replacement
products. If VTB repairs or replaces a product, the original Warranty Period is not extended, however, VTB warrants that repaired or replacement parts
will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of repair or replacement, or for the remainder of
the Warranty Period, whichever is greater.

This warranty does not apply to any Product that has had its serial number altered, removed or defaced, or any Product damage caused by shipping,
improper storage, accident, problems with electrical power, abuse, misuse, neglect, ordinary wear, acts of God (e.g. flood), failure to follow directions,
improper maintenance, use not in accordance with product instructions, unauthorized modification or service of the Product or damage resulting from
the use of the Product with hardware, software or other products not provided by or specifically recommended by VTB.

NOTES:

- Replacement Parts and accessories that are subject to “wear and tear” such as earpads, mic foam covers, talkback cables, etc. have a three (3)

month Warranty.

- Replacement Parts for Discontinued Products are sold on an AS IS basis, they are not supported and come with a 30 day Warranty.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VTB HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE FOR THE PRODUCT. IF SUCH A DISCLAIMER IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY IS
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE FOREGOING LIMITED WRITTEN WARRANTY.

IN NO EVENT SHALL VTB BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR LOSS OF USE, ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, AND ANY INJURY TO PROPERTY OR BODILY INJURY (INCLUDING
DEATH) TO ANY PERSON, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT OR ARISING FROM BREACH OF THE WARRANTY, BREACH OF
CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF VTB HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

This warranty supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, oral or written, relating to the Product, and no representation, promise or condition
not contained herein will modify these terms. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights, which vary from state to
state. Any action or lawsuit for breach of warranty must be commenced within eighteen (18) months following the purchase of the Product.
