  2. Press and hold the POWER button for about 2 seconds to turn on the headphones.
    • The POWER indicator lights up in green after it flashes.

    When playing High-Resolution Audio format files on your computer with the headphones, download and install “Hi-Res Audio Player.”

  5. Adjust the volume with the VOL +/- knob.

Hint

  • When the headphones are turned on, you can check the battery level by the number of times that the POWER indicator flashes in green.
    • Flashes three times: Substantially charged
    • Flashes twice: Half charged
    • Flashes once: Battery level is low. It is necessary to charge the battery.
    • Always flashing: The POWER indicator flashes in green after it beeps. The headphones do not output sound in this state and will turn off automatically about 30 seconds later.
  • When connecting a device such as a smartphone or portable audio player, adjust the volume on the connected device beforehand. Depending on the device, audio output settings may be required.

Note

  • If you turn the volume up too high, it may damage your hearing. Be careful not to turn the volume up too high.
