Getting Started

Updated November 1, 2018
Charge your BlueTooth® headphones
The battery in your POGS Bluetooth® is charged via the enclosed USB cable.
Charge it for approximately 3 hours before first use.
To charge the battery, connect the port for the USB charging cable with the USB port on your
computer or USB charger. The LED will illuminate in white during the charging process.
Once the storage battery is fully charged, the LED will go out.
Make yourself comfortable
Adjust the headband to your head size to optimize
audio and wearing comfort.
The ear cushions should comfortably rest on your ears
and the headband should rest on your head.

Activating POGS Bluetooth®
Slide the on/off button to activate or deactivate the Bluetooth® functions of your POGS.
When activating, the LED light next to the on/off
button as well as under the tipi on the side of the
earcans will turn on. If you are wearing the headphones,
you will hear an ascending tone.
When deactivating Bluetooth®, you will hear a
descending tone, and the LED lights will turn off.
Tip: You should always deactivate Bluetooth® on your
POGS when not in use to save battery power.

Updated November 1, 2018
Bluetooth® Pairing
You can link (pair) compatible devices, e.g. most smartphones, with your POGS Bluetooth®
headphones via Bluetooth®. The audio output of your smartphone can then be heard with the
POGS Bluetooth®.
To pair your POGS Wireless headphone press the Bluetooth® pairing button (#4) for
approximately 5-7 seconds. The LED light will start flashing a blue (1 sec) and a white light
(1sec). This means that your POGS headphone is ready to be paired to a device.
Activate the Bluetooth® function on your external device (e.g. smartphone is used below as
example).
Let your smartphone search for Bluetooth® devices (you can find more information in the
instruction manual of your smartphone).
“My POGS Wireless Headphones” should appear in the list of detected devices after the
search run.
Select “My POGS Wireless Headphones” from the list of detected devices.
Pairing is now complete and your POGS Bluetooth® are linked to your smartphone. The
LED will illuminate in blue once every 7 seconds for 1 second which means your POGS are
connected.
Your POGS will now play back all sounds that would otherwise be played by your
smartphone.
To end the Bluetooth® connection, you can either turn off the Bluetooth® function on your
smartphone or slide the power off button (#2) on your headphone.
Reconnecting to a paired player
If your POGS Bluetooth® has already been connected with your smartphone or another
device, your POGS headphone will automatically reconnect to the device when Bluetooth®
is switched on on both your POGS and your smartphone.

Updated November 1, 2018
Connection via QuickSafe cable
As an alternative to Bluetooth®, you can also connect your POGS Bluetooth® to the round
headphone jack of your smartphone using the QuickSafe cable. This cable is included in the
box and has round connectors.
The cable connection has priority over Bluetooth®. This means that if both connections are
established, the music transmitted via cable will be played back. Select the cable connection
if you do not wish or are not allowed (e.g. aboard aircraft) to use the Bluetooth® function, or
if the battery is empty.
Please note: Bluetooth® on your POGS does not have to be turned on when using the cable.
Share Music with POGlink
You can share your content like music with another POGS headphones.
Connect the triangular POGlink cable to the triangular plughole in the left earcan and connect
the other end of the POGlink cable to another POGS headphone.

Updated November 1, 2018
Phone calls with Bluetooth®
If your POGS Wireless Headphones is connected with your smartphone, you can make phone
calls just like with a headset.
Music playback will be interrupted in the event of an incoming call and a ring tone will sound
instead.
The following functions are available:
•Accept incoming call. Briefly (<0,5sec) push the play/pause button
•Reject incoming call. Push and hold the play/pause button (approximately 3 sec)
•End the call. Briefly (<0,5sec) push the play/pause button

Care for your POGS
•We recommend that you clean the
headphones regularly.
•Turn the headphones off and remove all cable
connections before you start cleaning.
•You can remove any dust or light dirt with a
dry microfibre cloth.
•You can wipe off more stubborn dirt with a
cloth which has been slightly dampened with water.
•Then immediately wipe the damp surfaces off with a soft cloth without applying
pressure.
POGfix service
We would love for you to use our products for a long time, and the products have been
developed to withstand a lot of rough handling. Nevertheless, it is possible that after a
lot of use, the ear cushions start to wear or the cables have been twisted just a few times
too often. Rather than disposing of your products, you can replace these parts using
POGfix service. Please contact us through email on [email protected] and we
are more than happy to help you extend the lifetime of your POGS.

Caring for our planet
Trees should go in the ground, not used products. That's why 10% of POGS profits goes to
planting new trees, or cleaning the oceans.
After your POGS have served their duty, please take care
when disposing of them.
POGS must not be disposed of with household waste! If the
device is no longer operational, every consumer is required
by law to dispose of old devices separately from household
waste, e.g. at a collection point run by the communal
authority/borough. This ensures that old devices are recycled
in a professional manner and also rules out negative
consequences for the environment. For this reason, electrical
equipment is marked with the following symbol.

Your safety is important to us
Protect your hearing
Although POGS are volume limited, children are not recommended to be
exposed to listening for more than 2 hours per day. Extended listening may
negatively impact hearing.
Beware of your surroundings
Your headphones significantly dampen external noise.
Do not in any case wear your headphones when you are required to pay attention to your
surroundings.
Safety notes for lithium polymer batteries
Please do not open the products, service should only be done by POGS B.V. or a service
agent appointed by POGS B.V. Inside the product is a battery, which is normally
inaccessible.
Make sure that children in particular do not have access to the installed storage
battery. Properly dispose of a defective device.
If the battery belonging to the device is swallowed, this may cause severe internal
injury and, in extreme cases, even death.
If you suspect that the battery has been swallowed or otherwise incorporated, seek
immediate medical attention. Leaking battery acid may lead to chemical burns.
Do not allow battery acid to come into contact with skin, eyes or mucus membranes.
In the event of contact with acid, immediately flush the applicable areas with plenty
of clean water and consult a physician if necessary. Lithium batteries may explode if
handled improperly.
Do not heat or short circuit batteries or dispose of them in fire.
Do not expose batteries to direct sunlight.
Only use the headphones to receive wireless signals in environments where the use of
Bluetooth® technology is permitted.
Ensure that the headphones do not become wet, protect them from moisture, heat (e.g.
during the summer in cars) and mechanical influences (e.g. severe shocks, pressure
and dropping).
Only charge the batteries at ambient temperatures of 10 –40 °C
