first
...turn down the
volume
on
your
music
player
before
putting
on
your
headphones.
Connect
with
or
plug
the headphone
cable
into
the
1
/8"
(3.5
mm)
stereo
jack
on
your
music
player.
Important:
Headphones
have
a
left
and
right
orientation.
They
use
the markings
"L"
and
"R"
to indicate which earcup
goes
on
which
ear.
These
markings
can
be
found
on
the
inside
ofthe headband.
Adjusting
the
Hinge
wireless
headband
For
optimum performance
and
comfort,
you
want your headphones to
fit
snugly
and
create
a comfortable
yet
effective
seal
on
your
ears.
A proper
fit
ensures
the
best sound
as
well
as
some
effective
noise
reduction
from
outside
sources.
Working
together,
the headband
and
the pivoting earcups
will
fit
any
size
head,
even
yours.
•
The
headband
should
sit
flat
across the top of
your
head.
• Adjust the built
-in
headband
slider
as
necessary
•
The
pivoting headphone earcups
should
fit
on
your
ears
and
you
should
feel
an
even
snugness
all
the
way
around
and
against
your
ears.
This
indicates a good
fit,
which
means
outside sounds should
be
muffled.
Charging
your
headphones
Use
the Micro
USB
port to charge your headphone's
battery.
Charging
should take
no
longer
than
2
hours.
A
fully
charged battery should
provide
up
to
12
hours
of
listening.
When

&
Safety
Tips
WARNING:
Listen
Carefully
Polk headphones
are
capable of
playing
at extremely
high
volume
levels,
which could
cause serious or permanent
hearing
damage.
Polk,
Inc.
accepts no liability for
hearing
loss,
bodily
injury
or property damage resulting from the misuse of its products. Besides,
we want you to keep your
hearing
so
you'll buy more Polk products.
Enjoy
your
Polk
Headphones
Responsibly
It's
a
very
bad
idea,
and
in
many jurisdictions against the
law,
to operate a vehicle
while
wearing headphones. Crossing streets without being able to hear what's going
on
around
you
can
be
dangerous
as
well.
Use
your good common sense and never
play
headphones
in
an
environment, or during
an
activity,
that
requires
your complete
attention.
The
sounds
you
hear around
you
could
save
your
life.
How
Loud
is
too
Loud?
Polk headphones
are
capable of reproducing excellent musical
detail,
even
at lower
volume
levels.
You
should limit prolonged exposure to volumes that exceed 85 decibels
(dB).
Regular
exposure to sound over 100 dB for more than 1 minute
risks
permanent
hearing
loss.

1. Read Instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the
system is operated.
2.
Retain Instructions. The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3.
Heed Warnings. All warnings on the appliances and
in
the operating instructions should
be adhered to.
4.
Follow Instructions. All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning. Unplug the appliance from wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6.
Attachments. Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer
as
they may
cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture. Do not use these appliances near water for example, near a bath tub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry
tub
,
in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. Accessories. Do not place these appliances on
an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
audio/video products may fall, causing serious injury
to
a child or adult, and serious damage
to
the
products. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the appliances. Any mounting
of
the appliances should follow the manufacturer's instructions,
and should use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Ventilation. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the appliances and
to
protect them from overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the products on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

1
0.
Power Sources. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking labels. If you are not sure
of
the type of power supply
to
your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company.
11. Grounding
or
Polarization. This product
is
equipped with polarized alternating-current line plugs (plugs
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable
to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power Cord Protection. Power-supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely
to
be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular attention
to
cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliances.
13
. Lightning. For added protection for this audio/video product during a lightning storm, or when
it
is
left un-attended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to
the product due
to
lightning and power-line
surges.
14
. Power Lines.
An
outside antenna system should not be located
in
the vicinity
of
overhead power lines
or
other electric light
or
power circuits,
or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing
an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken
to
keep from touching such power
lines or circuits
as
contact with them might be fatal.
15. Overloading. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result
in
a risk
of
fire
or electric shock.
16.
Object
and Liquid Entry. Never push objects
of
any kind into this product through openings, as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result
in
a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on this audio/video product.
17. Servicing.
Do
not attempt
to
service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer
all
servicing
to
qualified service personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service. Unplug this product from wall outlets and refer servicing
to
qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
a.
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
c.
If the product has been exposed
to
rain or water.
8

opolk.
d.
If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as
an
improper adjustment
of
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped
or
the cabinet has been damaged.
f.
When the product exhibits a distinct change
in
performance this indicates
a need for service.
19. Replacement Parts. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that the parts have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result
in
fire, electric shock or other hazards.

of
EXPLOSION if battery is incorrectly replaced.
