    Preparation before use

    Charging

    To ensure that the battery of the headset is not depleted when you want to use it, always charge it before use.
    And if the battery is depleted while you are out, you can use the charging case that you charged in advance to charge the headset.
    When the charging case is fully charged, it can charge the headset max. 2.5 times after use in Player Mode (Bluetooth OFF) and max. 3 times after use in Headphone Mode (Bluetooth ON).

    How to charge the headset

    1. Wipe the headset well using a soft, dry cloth.
      The charging case is not waterproof. Before setting the headset into the charging case, check that the headset units, earbuds, and arc supporters are not wet.
      If there is water (sweat, water droplets, seawater, etc.) adhered to the terminals of the headset during charging, corrosion of the terminals may cause the electrical contacts to stop functioning.

    2. Set the headset into the charging case and close the cover.
      Check the left and right units of the headset and set them into the charging case.

    3. Connect the charging case to a wall outlet or your PC's USB port.
      Use the USB Type-C cable supplied with the product for connection. Use a commercial AC adaptor when connecting to a wall outlet.

      • Connecting the charging case to a computer

      The headset units and the charging case will begin charging.
      While they are charging, the charging indicator of the charging case and the indicators on the headset light in red. When charging is complete, the indicators turn off.

    How to choose the correct earbuds and arc supporters

    There's a tendency to use the earbuds and arc supporters that come attached to the headset at purchase.
