How do I pair a new device?
The headphones remember the last device paired. If you would like to use another
device, pair that device manually. Please refer to page 9 for pairing instructions.
You may need to turn Bluetooth® off on the last device that was paired so the
headphones will not automatically pair to that device.
Why won’t the lights stay on?
Charge the headphones. If the battery is depleted, it may take several minutes after
plugging in the MICRO USB CHARGING CABLE for there to be enough battery
life to keep the lights on.
Why can’t I play/pause, change tracks or answer calls with the button on the
headphone cord?
Ensure the end of the HEADPHONE CORD with the headphone icon is plugged
into the HEADPHONE CORD INPUT on the headphones.
Ensure the end of the HEADPHONE CORD with no headphone icon is plugged
into your audio device.
