1The Ear Force™  XP300 is a premium, high-performance headset designed for Xbox 360® and PS3™ gaming. To get the most from your XP300, please take a few minutes to review this introduction.Dual-Band Wi-FiThe Ear Force XP300 headset provides wireless CD-quality game sound via dual-band digital RF (radio frequency) that communicates with the XP300 transmitter. This advanced dual-band Wi-Fi technology uses either 5GHz or 2.4GHz signals to transmit high fidelity digital audio and finds the optimum frequency to help eliminate interference with other wireless devices and Wi-Fi networks. Unlike the RF technology used in most other wireless headsets, the dual-band Wi-Fi technology found in the XP300 coexists with wireless networks for optimum performance.Dual Pairing Bluetooth ®The XP300 incorporates Bluetooth technology which is used for communicating wirelessly on Xbox LIVE®  with the included XBA Chat Adapter and on PlayStation® Network (PSN™ ). The Bluetooth can also be paired to your mobile phone so you can use your XP300 to accept phone calls – all while totally immersed in the action of the game.*Rechargeable BatteryThe XP300 also features a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that provides up to 15 hours of continuous game play on a single charge. The battery can also be recharged while gaming with the included charging cable so you’ll never miss out on the action.Engineered for High-Quality SoundThe XP300 headset is engineered to deliver high-quality audio that makes it ideal for gaming, movies and digital music playback. The high-fidelity, 50mm speakers are encased in acoustically-tuned ear cups with soft fabric cushions and deliver extended bass with extraordinary dynamic range for optimum audio performance.About the XP300dual band wirelessWiFi5GHz

6Using the TransmitterTransmitter RangeThe transmitter sends game audio from your Xbox 360® to the headset via digital radio frequency (RF) signal, so a direct line of sight is not required. When you’re out of range, you may hear popping or clicking sounds if the headset loses the RF signal. For best performance, place the transmitter in an open area that is unobstructed by objects that might absorb RF signals from the internal antenna. Avoid placing it on a metal surface, such as the top of a home theater A/V receiver.Pairing the Headset and TransmitterThe headset and transmitter in this package are “paired”, which means they’re synchronized to ensure they work together. When the headset and transmitter are communicating, the POWER LED on the the transmitter will be on solid. If this LED is slowly pulsing instead, it means the transmitter can’t communicate with the headset. This could happen when the headset is out of range, not turned on or not paired with the transmitter. If the LED is slowly pulsing when the headset is on and within range, then they might need to be “paired” as described below:NOTE: Only one headset can be paired with the transmitter. If you pair two headsets with the same transmitter, they’ll interfere with each other as they compete for the transmitter RF signal. This will cause one headset to shut off. So don’t try to pair two headsets with the same transmitter!2 feetMaintain a distance of at least 2 feet between the headset and transmitter when pairing.Optimum range: within 30 ft.1. Make sure the headset and transmitter are turned off and they are at least 2 feet away from each other.2.   Power on the transmitter by connecting it to a free USB port on your gaming console. Then press and hold the PAIR button on the transmitter. The transmitter LED will begin to flash rapidly, then release the PAIR button. 3. Press and hold the headset POWER button for about 6 seconds until the LED begins to flash rapidly, then release the button.4. Wait for the headset and transmitter to pair. This process could take up to 30 seconds.If pairing is successful, the LED on the transmitter should be on solid and the headset LED should be flashing about once per second, indicating that the units are paired.If pairing fails, repeat steps 1-4. It may take up to 5 attempts to pair successfully.
7Xbox 360® Setup (HDMI)*All XBOX 360 models require an XBOX 360 Audio Adapter Cable for audio output when used with an HDMI connection (sold separately).NOTE: If your HDMI TV has red/white RCA AUDIO OUT jacks you can use it to feed the sound from your TV to your Turtle Beach headset.

18Making CallsOnce the headset is successfully paired with your mobile phone, you can use it to make and receive calls. It can be used with voice dialing if your phone supports this function.1. Using voice dialing* – Press and hold the BT MFB button for 3 seconds until you hear a tone—then release. The voice recognition prompt in your phone will now be activated. Say the name of the phone number or person whom you want to call. You can exit the voice recognition state at any time by pressing the MFB for 3 seconds.2. Using mobile phone keys to make a call – Dial the number on the mobile phone as normal. Once the call has been placed, the sound will automatically be transmitted to the headset.3. Redial – Double-click BT MFB button. You will hear two tones, and the last number called will be dialed.4. Muting the microphone – During a call, the microphone muting can be toggled by Pressing the MUTE button. You will hear one tone, indicating that the mic mute is active. While the mic is muted, a beep will be heard every 30 seconds to let you know that mic mute is still activated. NOTE: Some mobile phones may not have a redial or voice recognition function. If a phone does not have a redial function, then a double-click of the MFB will initiate the voice recognition state instead. If a phone does not have either function, then a double-click or 3-second press of the MFB will have no effect.Receiving CallsWhen the XP300 Bluetooth is powered on and there is an incoming call you will hear a phone ring chime in the headset. You have three options when an incoming call is received:1. Answer call – Press the BT MFB once to accept the call. Press it again to end a call. A tone is heard in the earpiece each time you answer or end a call.2. Reject call – Press and hold the BT MFB for 3 seconds until you hear a beep. The call is sent directly to your voicemail.3. Do nothing – The “incoming call chime” will sound until your phone sends the caller to voicemail.
19The XP300 features a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that provides more than 10 hours of continuous game play.  When your headset battery power is low, a tone will begin to sound every 10 seconds until the headset powers off.  You can recharge your headset while still gaming with the included Headset Charging Cable.  Simply plug the mini USB end into your headset CHARGE port and plug the other end into a free USB port on your game console. If your headset is charging while it’s powered off, the LED on the headset will remain solid RED until the headset is charged, at which time the headset LED will turn off.Recharging the HeadsetHeadset Charging Cable(included)HeadsetCHARGE PortGame Console USB Port NOTE: Do not use the included Headset Charging Cable for Standard USB cable use.

Press the SOUND FIELD button to cycle through the three settings as illustrated below:Tone ButtonSound Field Button
21Chat Boost™Chat Boost is a dynamic talkback expander built into the XP300 headset that automatically increases chat volume during loud moments in your game, so you can always hear your teammates or other players, regardless of the game volume.Typically, if you turn up a headset’s game volume, the incoming chat level from other players could become difficult to hear over the game sound. However, with Chat Boost, as the game audio increases, the chat volume also increases. When the game volume quiets down again, Chat Boost automatically returns the chat level to your original volume setting.To properly set the Chat Boost function:1. Turn down the volume control on the headset so there’s no game audio.2. Adjust the chat volume control on the headset so you can hear the chat voices at a comfortable level.3. Turn up the headset game volume and the chat volume will increase whenever the game gets louder, just as if the chat volume control is being automatically turned up along with the game level. WITHOUT Chat Boost,chat volume is overwhelmed by loud game audioWITH Chat Boost,chat volume increases along with game volumeNOTE: If the chat volume on the headset is set too loud, Chat Boost might increase the volume so much that the voices will distort. If that happens, turn down the chat volume on the headset.Variable Mic MonitorThe XP300 headset includes a unique variable microphone monitor feature that allows you to adjust the level of your voice heard in the headset so you won’t have to shout.  This can be adjusted by turning the MIC MONITOR wheel on the left ear cup.NOTE: Turning up the mic monitor may cause the mic to pick up room sounds which will make the silence detector not automatically shut off the headset when it’s not being used. If the power is not automatically shutting down, turn down this mic monitor control.Mic Monitor

24Safety NoticeTo 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.t#FGPSFQMBDJOHBIFBETFUPOZPVSFBSTUVSOUIFWPMVNFEPXODPNQMFUFMZthen slowly increase it to a comfortable level.t5VSOEPXOUIFWPMVNFJGZPVDBOUIFBSQFPQMFTQFBLJOHOFBSZPVt"WPJEUVSOJOHVQUIFWPMVNFUPCMPDLPVUOPJTZTVSSPVOEJOHT
