why Alpatronix’s Ironclad Warranty will protect you for a whole year against all defects in
material and/or workmanship. So register your product at www.alpatronix.com/register to
activate your warranty and rest easy that you are covered no matter what the return policy is

Part A. Setup
Step I. Fully charge your HX110 headphones
Your HX110 is equipped with a high-quality lithium polymer rechargeable battery. For
first-time use, please charge your headset for at least 4 hours. Even though the LED
indicators may indicate that the battery has charged long before reaching 4 hours, please
keep the device connected to the charger for a full 4 hours to ensure your battery operates
at its full capacity. All consecutive charges will take about 2-3 hours. It is also recommended
not to charge the device using a car charger for the first time.
When the HX110 is connected to a charger, the LED light will indicate the charging status.
When charging, the LED will glow red. Once the HX110 is charged, the LED will turn blue.
When fully charged, your HX110 is capable of playing for up to 17 hours, or be on standby
for up to 400 hours!

Step III. Pair your headphones to your device(s)
Normal Pairing
The HX110 is a wireless headphone and needs to be paired to your computer or mobile
device before using (to ensure your product is compatible, see “Compatibility” on page 7).
Even better, the HX110 is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, allowing it to be connected to two
devices at the same time (only one device can be actively connected and playing at any
given time)! To pair the headphones with the first device,
1. Make sure the HX110 is turned OFF. If your headphone is ON (LED light blinking),
turn it off by pressing and holding the Multifunction Button for 3-4 seconds.
2. Place the HX110 in pairing mode by pressing and holding the Multifunction Button for
8 seconds. After 3-4 seconds, the headphone will turn on and the LED will flash blue.
It is important to continue to hold down the button until the LED flashes blue and red
rapidly. At this time, the headphone is in pairing mode.
3. On your computer or mobile device, make sure that Bluetooth is turned ON, and that
your device is discoverable.
4. On your computer or mobile device, search for available Bluetooth devices. Find and
select “Alpatronix HX110”. Most devices don’t require a password for pairing, but if
prompted, enter “0000”.
5. Your device should be paired to the HX110 without any problems. If pairing is
unsuccessful, repeat steps 1 - 4. If you are still unsuccessful, contact Alpatronix
Customer Service for help.
Note: The HX110 is programmed to turn off after 2 minutes of being disconnected from a
mobile device. This is a power-saving measure designed to keep your headphone’s
battery from draining in the event that you forget to shut it off before leaving.
Pairing via NFC
For NFC enabled devices, the HX110 includes NFC function allowing easy and speedy
pairing. Make sure the NFC function on your mobile device is on by following the steps
below:
1. Go to Settings on your Android or Windows device.
2. Turn Bluetooth ON.
3. Under “Wireless and networks”, make sure NFC is switched ON.
4. Make sure the headset is turned off.
5. Touch your phone’s NFC location to the NFC logo on the headset.

7. When prompted by your device, click “yes” to confirm pairing.

The HX110 is programmed to remember up to 8 paired devices. When the number of paired
devices exceeds 8, the first one will be replaced.
Pairing with a Bluetooth transmitter
To pair the HX110 with a Bluetooth transmitter, please follow the steps below:
1. Keep your headset and transmitter within 3ft of one another.
2. Place the headset into pairing mode.
3. Turn the Bluetooth transmitter ON and place it in pairing mode. It will automatically
search for Bluetooth devices and send a pairing request.
4. If a code is needed, the transmitter will automatically enter “0000”.
Pairing with two devices simultaneously
The HX110 can pair with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously (multi-pairing). To do this:
1. Pair the headset with the first device according to the steps mentioned above.
2. Turn the headset off and place it in pairing mode again. Then pair with the second
device.
3. Use the first device to connect with the headset manually (go to the list of trusted
devices and click “Alpatronix HX110”).
4. When turned on next time, the HX110 will pair to both devices automatically.
Notes
•Before connecting to a Bluetooth device, please turn on the Bluetooth function of that
device.

•When turned ON, the HX110 will automatically pair to the last device it was
connected to. However, on some devices (such as some Nokia cell phones), you
must enable “Automatic Pairing” in order to allow the headset to connect your device
after initial pairing.
Compatibility
The Alpatronix HX110 is compatible with ALL Apple desktops, laptops, iPads, iPhones, and
iPods (if Bluetooth enabled). It is also compatible with all major Android tablets and
smartphones including Samsung Galaxy, HTC, and most other manufacturers. The HX110
operates on the industry’s highest standards and works with any device that recognizes
HSP, HFP, A2DP, and AVRCP.
Compatibility with Windows desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones may vary and
depend on the specific driver installed on your device. Windows products do not use a
universal Bluetooth driver, and Alpatronix cannot guarantee compatibility of every driver with
the HX110. You can search and install Bluetooth drivers that support the standards listed
above manually. Alpatronix does not offer a specific driver for the HX110.
Please note that Bluetooth technology operates on a Master/Slave system. The streaming
source is the Master, and the HX110 is the Slave. Your device is responsible for how audio
is played through the headphones. While the HX110 has the latest Bluetooth and audio
technology built in, your device must also be equipped with the same technology in order to
enjoy the full capability of the HX110.

Step IV. Turn the headphone ON/OFF
To turn the headphones ON, press and hold the Multifunction button 3-4 seconds. The LED
will flash blue, followed by a chime. When the headphones are turned on, it will
automatically search for the paired device and connect to it if available. If the paired device
is not available, the headphones will enter standby mode indicated by a flashing red LED.
After 3 minutes, the headphones will automatically shut off.
To turn the headphones OFF, press and hold the Multifunction Button again for 3-4 seconds.
The LED will flash, followed by another chime.
If your paired device goes outside the Bluetooth range of the HX110, it will automatically
enter standby mode, and after 2 minutes it will shut off.

Part B. Basic Use Instructions
Features
The HX110 was designed to deliver the perfect fusion between uncompromised comfort,
elegant style, and precision sound. In doing so, we paid attention to every small detail to
deliver big performance. Here are some of the features you will find in your HX110:
•Telescopic speakers allow for size adjustments for almost any head size.
•Comfortable leather ear pillows provide the ultimate comfort for prolonged wear.
•Hand-selected 40mm neodymium original diaphragm provides a full-range, high
quality, clear, and balanced sound with deep lows and crystal clear highs.
•A2DP protocol provides perfectly balanced sound.
•Audio Video Remote Control Protocol (AVRCP) allows for control of calls and music
directly from your headset. Please note that your streaming device or software must
also be AVRCP enabled.
•Bluetooth chipsets offered by CSR are the highest industry standard. Your HX110
supports AptX compression algorithm. Please note that to hear true AptX sound, your
streaming device must also be equipped with AptX, and the audio being streamed
must be recorded in AptX as well.

enjoy music, or talk with friends and loved ones using programs such as Skype, FaceTime,
or any other audio/video chat software.

Packed with awesome technology to provide balanced and high definition sound, as
well as an ergonomic design to provide ultimate comfort and noise isolation, it is the
best way to enjoy your music wirelessly. The HX110 also folds to a small size, so that
you can take it around with you!

audio. Please note that your streaming device will also have to be AptX in
