Using the noise canceling function

If you use the noise canceling function, you can enjoy music without being disturbed by ambient noise.

  1. Remove the headset units from the charging case.

    The headset turns on automatically.

    When you use the headset for the first time after purchase or just after initializing the headset, the noise canceling function is turned on automatically when the headset is turned on. Any changes made to the settings are retained from this point on.

  2. Put the headset units into your ears.
  3. Tap the left headset unit or the area near your ear twice to change the setting of the noise canceling function.

    Each time the headset unit is tapped twice, the function is switched as follows.


    Ambient Sound Mode: ON

    You will hear a notification sound from both headset units at the same time. When you are wearing only the left headset unit, you will hear the notification sound from the left unit of the headset.

    Noise canceling function: ON

    You will hear a notification sound from both headset units at the same time. When you are wearing only the left headset unit, you will hear the notification sound from the left unit of the headset.

Note

  • The headset cannot fully perform the noise canceling function unless the supplied earbud tips are used.
  • If the headset is not being worn properly in your ears, the noise canceling function may not work correctly. Twist the headset to put it into your ears properly.
  • Do not pinch or cover the parts of the headset near the microphones on the left and right headset units with your hands. Functions such as the noise canceling function or Ambient Sound Mode may not work properly or the headset unit may make a beeping sound (feedback). If any of this is the case, remove your hand, etc. from the left or right microphone part.
