PRODUCT OVERVIEW
BATTERY CHARGING
Charge the battery before first use and at least once every three months to keep the
battery fresh and capable of holding a full charge. Do not allow the battery to fully
discharge, as doing so can damage it and reduce its maximum capacity.
To charge the battery in the headphones, first ensure that the headphones are powered
off. Next, plug one end of the included Micro USB Charging Cable into the Charging Port
on the headphones, then plug the other end into a USB power source, such as a computer
or USB wall charger. The LED Indicator (ANC) will illuminate red, indicating that charging is
taking place. When charging is complete, the indicator will turn off.
Note that if the headphones are powered on and the ANC Switch is in the ON position, the
LED Indicator (ANC) will illuminate purple instead of red.
When the battery level is low, an audible tone can be heard in the headphones. The tone
will repeat each minute.
