3. BASIC OPERATION
The EQ1 uses a simple ‘PRESS’ and ‘ROTATE’ system to navigate through
the various setting using the multi function knob on the left side of the headset.
3.1. Turning ON and OFF
To turn the headset ON press and hold the knob for 2 seconds you will be
‘introduced’ to the headset, and hours of life remaining.
You will then hear an audible beep every 5 seconds until an EQ-Link unit is
located. If your unit detects an EQ-Link that it is not paired with, then a low
tone will be heard and the headset will continue to look for your paired device.
If no EQ-Link unit is found, the unit will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
To turn the Headset OFF, press and hold the knob, a count down will then be
initiated. (3…..2……1… Battery xx Hours)
When the message “HEADSET OFF” is heard the knob can be released.
