Cleaning Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the product to ensure that it will last for a long time. Do not use alcohol, paint thinners or other solvents for cleaning purposes. • To clean, wipe with a dry cloth. • Natural oils from the skin are particularly likely to build up on the areas where the eartips attach to the headphones (see figure at right). If these areas are not cleaned, the eartips can become detached. Clean them regularly. Do not touch the areas where sound is produced as they are delicate. Doing so may result in malfunction. • Wipe away any perspiration or dirt from the cable with a dry cloth immediately after use. Failure to clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in malfunction. • Wipe the cable's USB plug with a dry cloth if dirty. Eartip attachment part Sound reproduction part • Clean the eartips by removing them from the headphones and manually cleaning them with a diluted mild detergent. After cleaning, dry before using again. • If the product will not be used for an extended period of time, store it in a well-ventilated place free from high temperatures and humidity. 10 Eartips Eartip size The product includes silicone eartips in 4 sizes (XS, S, M, and L). At the time of purchase, the M-size silicone eartips are attached. To ensure the best sound quality, select the eartip size that is best suited for you, and adjust the eartips inside your ears for a snug fit. It may be difficult to hear bass sounds if the eartips do not fit snugly in your ears. Replacing the eartips Remove the old eartip and attach the new eartip by pushing it onto the headphone at an angle (see figure). Push firmly on the eartip so that the inside of the eartip expands, and push the eartip onto the post as far as it will go. • The eartips are designed to be difficult to remove, therefore the fit is very tight when attaching them. • Periodically remove and clean the eartips as they become dirty easily. Using dirty eartips may cause the headphones themselves to become dirty, resulting in deteriorated sound quality. • Eartips are consumable parts that degrade through storage and use. If the eartips are loose and easily removed or if they appear to have degraded, purchase replacements. • When reattaching eartips that were previously removed, be sure to check that they are securely attached. Injury or illness may occur if the eartips become detached and are left inside the ear. 11 Troubleshooting Problem Solution Power is not supplied. • Charge the product. Unable to pair. • • • • No sound is heard / Sound is faint. • Turn on the power of the product and the Bluetooth device. • Turn up the volume of the product and the Bluetooth device. • If the Bluetooth device is set to the HFP/HSP connection, switch to the A2DP connection. • Move away from obstacles between the product and the Bluetooth device, such as people, metal or walls, and place them closer together. • Switch the output of the Bluetooth device to the Bluetooth connection. Sound is distorted / Noise is heard / Sound cuts out. • Turn down the volume of the product and the Bluetooth device. • Keep this product away from devices that emit radio waves such as microwaves and wireless routers. • Keep TVs, radios, and devices with built-in tuners away from the product. These devices can also be affected by the product. • Turn off the equalizer settings of the Bluetooth device. • Remove obstacles between the product and the Bluetooth device and place them closer together. • Adjust your Bluetooth device’s settings to disable the aptX codec. Cannot hear the voice of the caller / Voice of the caller is too quiet. • Turn on the power of the product and the Bluetooth device. • Turn up the volume of the product and the Bluetooth device. • If the Bluetooth device is set to the A2DP connection, switch to the HFP/HSP connection. • Switch the output of the Bluetooth device to the Bluetooth connection. The product cannot be charged. • Securely connect the included USB charging cable and charge the product. Sound is delayed (video and audio are out of sync). • Refer to “SBC priority connections (measures for when sound is delayed significantly)” (p. 13) to change the codec connection to SBC. Visit our website for information on compatible models. Confirm that the Bluetooth device communicates using Ver. 2.1+EDR or higher. Place the product and the Bluetooth device within 1 m (3.3') of each other. Set the profiles for the Bluetooth device. For procedures on how to set profiles, refer to the Bluetooth device’s user manual. • For details about how to operate your Bluetooth device, refer to the device’s user manual. • If the problem still remains, reset the product. To reset the product, refer to “Reset function”(p. 9). 12 Troubleshooting SBC priority connections (measures for when sound is delayed significantly) When connected via AAC codec, significant sound delays can be alleviated by changing the connection codec to the SBC codec, an audio compression format that comes standard with Bluetooth devices.*1 Connecting to a SBC priority connection 1. Turn the product power to “ON”. 2. Press and hold the + and - volume buttons simultaneously (for about 2 seconds). • If this operation is performed after pairing with a Bluetooth device has already been completed, the Bluetooth device for which pairing was completed will connect automatically.*2 • If this operation is performed before pairing with a Bluetooth device has been completed, once the indicator lamp turns off, the device will again begin searching for devices to pair with and the indicator lamp will flash. Refer to Steps 2 and 3 of “Pairing a Bluetooth device”(p. 6) to complete pairing. • Once the SBC priority connection is complete, the lighting pattern of the indicator lamp will change. Refer to “Indicator lamp display” shown below for a guide of these changes. • After pairing via an SBC priority connection is complete, the only available connection codec will be SBC. Connections using other codecs will not be possible.*3 *1 Depending on the usage environment, changing to an SBC priority connection may not alleviate sound delays. *2 If a connection is not made automatically, refer to “Pairing a Bluetooth device”(p. 6) and perform pairing operations again. *3 Turning the power off and then turning it back on will result in a return to a normal connection and enable connections using other codecs. Please connect using an SBC priority connection when necessary. Indicator lamp display The indicator lamp of the product indicates the product's status as explained below.
