Bluetooth is a short-distance
two-way wireless communication technology
capable of transmitting data, commands, and audio
between devices. The Venture can connect with many devices
such as mobile phones, tablets, PDAs, computers, media players,
and more through a process called pairing. Before you can use
your Venture with your device they will need to be paired.

Charging
*** You must completely charge the headset before the first use ***
Note: Bluetooth can be active when the unit is charging; however,
depending on the power output of the charger, charging may be
very slow. The Venture will work in wired mode via the audio jack
while charging even with the headphones powered off.
Connect a mini USB charging cable to a powered USB
source such as a wall charger, powered on computer, USB
hub connected to a powered on computer, or car USB port.
While not required, it is recommended to turn the Venture off
before charging. See note below.
Connect the charging cable to the mini USB jack on the right
ear cup.
The bright red LED indicator should light solid and stay on
while charging. Charge time is typically between 3-6 hours
for the first charge and 2-3 hours for subsequent charges
depending on the charging power.
When the battery is fully charged the bright red LED indicator
will turn off.
