How to connect
Pairing
Connecting these earphones to a Bluetooth device first requires that they be paired.
This means that using the same Bluetooth device at a later date will not require pairing
operations again.
To pair with subsequent Bluetooth devices, or to switch between connected devices,
see “Re-pairing.”
Re-pairing
Pairing:
Bluetooth devices require that devices to be connected wirelessly be first registered
with each other. This registration process is called “pairing.”
Before pairing
lAlso read the instruction manual of the Bluetooth device to be connected.
lPerform pairing when the device to pair and the earphones are within 1 m of each
other.
How to pair
1. Turn on the power of the earphones.
How to turn the power on
When you use the earphones for the first time, they will automatically enter pairing mode when
the power is turned on.
From the second time, press and hold the multifunction button for approximately 5 seconds
while the power is off to switch to pairing mode.
In pairing mode, the status indicator will blink red and blue alternately.
If the earphones are left in pairing mode for approximately 1 minute, they will enter the
connection standby status.
To switch to pairing mode again, press and hold the multifunction button for approximately 3
seconds until a "beep" is heard.
If the earphones are left in the connection standby status for approximately 5 minutes, the
power will turn off automatically.
2. During pairing mode, put on the earphones.
Wearing

3. Turn on the power of the Bluetooth device (device to be connected), open its Blue-
tooth settings screen, and search for the earphones.
4. When [nwm MBN001] is displayed on the screen of the device to be connected, select
it.
When a notification tone sounds in the earphones, pairing is complete.
lIf [nwm MBN001] is not displayed on the screen of the device to be connected,
repeat this procedure from step 1.
lIf you are asked to enter a pass key (*) during pairing operations, input “0000”.
* The pass key may also be referred to with terms such as pass code, PIN code,
PIN number, or password.
<Note>
nif you are unable to connect the devices, perform pairing again.
nSome Bluetooth devices may increase their volume when paired with this product. After
pairing is complete, check the volume before use.
nThis product can register its pairing information with up to eight Bluetooth devices. Pairing
with a ninth device will delete previously registered device pairing information. In order to
reconnect a device that has had its pairing information deleted, perform pairing again.
Pairing using the nwm Connect app
Pairing can be performed using the dedicated nwm Connect app. For details, see “nwm
Connect App.”

2. Press and hold the multifunction button of the earphones for approximately 3 sec-
onds until a "beep" is heard.
3. When you hear the sound, release the multifunction button.
The status indicator blinks between red and blue alternatively, and the earphones enter pairing
mode.
When entering pairing mode, a notification tone sounds.
Next, perform pairing as described in step 2 onward in “How to pair.”
Re-pairing will also be required in the following instances.
lIf the product has been reset
lIf the Bluetooth connection registration information in the paired device has been
deleted
lIf there is a significant distance between this product and the device to be connected
How to pair
If the headphones do not switch to pairing mode despite pressing and holding the
multifunction button until a "beep" is heard, there may not be a device that can be
connected in the surroundings.
In this case, first try turning the power of the earphones off and then press and hold
the multifunction button for approximately 5 seconds until the state switches from pow-
er-on to pairing mode. The status indicator will blink red and blue alternately and the
earphones will enter pairing mode.
When the status indicator blinks alternately, release the multifunction button.
For the subsequent procedure, see from step 2 of "How to pair."
Switching between paired devices
1. On the Bluetooth setting screen of the device currently connected to the earphones,
cancel the Bluetooth connection.
When the connection is lost, a notification tone will sound.
2. In the Bluetooth settings screen of the new device to be connected, select
[nwm MBN001].
When the connection is complete, a notification tone will sound.
