Important Note on Wireless Range
The .Audio 995 headset has a wireless range of up
to 40 feet. However, wireless performance may be
affected by nearby objects including walls, metal
items, and other wireless devices. When you move
the headset to the edge of its wireless range, audio
may become distorted and will eventually cut out.
Move closer to the wireless adapter to restore clear
audio.

Using Your Headset
Congratulations, you can now listen to your favorite music or talk with friends and family using your new
wireless headset.
Using Your Headset
1 Make sure that your headset is fully charged. When fully charged, the red status light turns
off.
Do not use your headset while it is connected to the charger.
2 Connect the wireless adapter to a USB port on your computer.
Your computer and USB hub (if using) should be turned on.
3 After removing your headset from the charger, press the Power button to turn the headset on.
The headset and the adapter should connect immediately, and the indicator lights on both headset and
wireless adapter will be solid blue. If you cannot hear anything through your headset, try adjusting the
volume up or restarting the media application.
NOTE If steps 1 through 3 do not work, refer to “Pairing Your Headset” on page 4 to manually pair your
headset and adapter.

Pairing Your Headset
How to Manually Pair Your Headset and
Adapter
Your headset and adapter are factory pre-paired,
and should automatically connect with each
other. Should your headset and adapter become
unpaired, you can initiate pairing manually:
1 Press and hold the Power and Connect
buttons on the headset and adapter for 4
seconds.
The status lights on the headset and adapter
will rapidly flash blue.
2 The headset and adapter will automatically
attempt to pair.
If the pairing is successful the status lights will
glow solid blue; if unsuccessful, both headset
and adapter will stay in pairing mode.
If manual pairing was unsuccessful, and you want
to re-attempt the pairing process, you must first
take your headset and adapter out of pairing
mode.
3 Turn headset off
4 Single press the Connect/Pair button on
the adapter, then repeat steps 1 and 2.
NOTE If your headset and adapter are separated
and lose their connection after being successfully
paired, they will automatically reconnect when
they come back into range of each other. If they
remain out of range for more than 30 seconds, the
headset will go into sleep mode, but will reconnect
automatically with the adapter once it is back in
range. If the headset is out of range for more than
15 minutes, it automatically shuts off.
