4. Getting Started
•The two headsets and the charging box are equipped with a
rechargeable battery. The battery must be fully charged before
using the device for the rst time.
•You can charge the headsets directly using the charging box,
or charge the battery of the charging box. This allows you to
charge the headset batteries while on the go, without an external
power supply. In other words, the charging box is used as mobile
power storage.
Note
Use only the supplied USB charging cable!
4.1 Charging the headsets
•Ensure that the headsets are switched off before charging them.
•Place both headsets in the charging box.
•Charging of the headsets will start automatically if the battery of
the charging box still has sucient charge.
•If not, begin charging by connecting the included USB charging
cable to the charging terminal (10) and to the USB connection of
a suitable USB charger. Please refer to the operating instructions
for the USB charger used.
•The status LEDs (3) of the headsets emit a constant red light
during charging.
•It takes about one hour to charge a headset battery.
•When a headset’s battery is fully charged, the light emitted by the
status LED (3) of the headset goes out.
•You can now remove the headset.

6
4.2 Charging the charging box
•Begin charging by connecting the included USB charging cable
to the charging terminal (10) and to the USB connection of a
suitable USB charger. Please refer to the operating instructions for
the USB charger used.
•The status LED of the charging box (9) emits a constant red light
during charging.
•Charging the battery fully may take up to 2 hours.
•When the battery is fully charged, the status LED (9) goes out.
•Disconnect all cable and mains connections after use.
Note
•If the headset batteries and the charging box battery are
empty, the headset batteries will be recharged rst. After that,
the battery of the charging box will be charged (lights emitted
by the status LEDs (3) of the headsets go out; status LED (9) of
the charging box continues to emit a red light).
•Acharging box battery that has been fully charged allows you
to completely charge both headsets about four times.
5. Operation
5.1 Switching the headset on/off
•Turn On:
With the device off, press and hold the multifunction button
(5) for 6 seconds until you hear a voice say “Power on”. The
status LED (3) initially emits blue ashes of light and then a red
ash of light.
•Turn Off:
With the device on, press and hold the multifunction button (5)
for 4 seconds until you hear a voice say “Power off”. The status

7
LED (3) will light up in red briey before the device turns off.
The rst time the device is turned on, pairing is automatically started
– see 5.2 Bluetooth pairing – Headsets.
5.2. Bluetooth pairing – Headsets
•First the two headsets must connect to one another.
•Ensure that both headsets are switched off.
•Press and hold the multifunction button (5) on both headsets for
approximately eight seconds until the status LEDs (3) begin to
alternate between a red and blue light.
•The headsets automatically pair with one another within about
ten seconds. After that, you can connect the headsets to a
terminal device.
•If the two headsets cannot set up a connection within two
minutes, they will automatically switch off.
Note
•Once the headsets have correctly paired with one another,
one headset will automatically be guided by the headset that
was switched on/paired rst.
•Therefore, when connecting the headsets to terminal devices
in future, you merely have to switch on both headsets and put
one of the headsets into pairing mode. The other headset is
automatically connected.

8
5.3. Bluetooth pairing with terminal device
•The headsets and the terminal device should be no further than
one metre apart. The smaller the distance, the better.
•Ensure that both headsets are switched on and paired with one
another.
Note – Pairing
•Make sure that your Bluetooth-capable terminal device is on
and Bluetooth is activated.
•For more information, please refer to the operating
instructions of your terminal device.
•Open the Bluetooth settings on your terminal device and wait until
FreeStereo Twins appears in the list of Bluetooth devices found.
•Select FreeStereo Twins and wait until the headsets are listed as
connected in the Bluetooth settings on your terminal device.
Note – Bluetooth password
Some terminal devices require a password in order to connect to
another Bluetooth device.
•If your terminal device requests a password to establish the
connection, enter 0000.

•You can also switch just one of the headsets on. This headset
will automatically connect to the terminal device after successful
pairing. If the other headset is likewise switched on, it connects
to the headset that was switched on rst and so is likewise
automatically paired with the terminal device.
•After the headset and terminal device have been paired, a
connection is established automatically.
•You can now use the headset/headsets.

10
Note
•If pairing was successful, the status LEDs (3) emit blue ashes
of light every ve seconds.
•If pairing was not successful, the status LEDs (3) emit a ash
of light once every ve seconds, and you will have to perform
pairing again.
•It may be necessary to change the settings on your terminal
device to enable it to automatically connect to the paired
headset.
Note – Connection impaired
After the headset and terminal device have been paired,
a connection is established automatically. If the Bluetooth
connection is not established automatically, check the following:
•Go to the Bluetooth settings on your terminal device and
check whether FreeStereo Twins are connected. If not,
repeat the steps listed under 5.3 Bluetooth pairing with
terminal device.
•Check whether obstacles are impairing the range. If so, move
the devices closer together.
