4. Setup Guide

4.1 Connecting to Gaming Consoles (PS4, PS3, Xbox 360)

1. Locate the 3.5mm audio jack on your gaming controller or console.
2. Insert the 3.5mm connector from the EX-05S headset firmly into the audio jack.
3. Ensure your console's audio settings are configured to output game audio and chat through the connected headset. Refer to your console's system settings for specific audio output configurations.

4.2 Connecting to PC/Mac

1. For PCs with separate audio and microphone jacks, you may need a PC splitter cable (not included) to connect the single 3.5mm headset jack to your computer's audio output and microphone input ports.
2. For devices with a combined 3.5mm audio/microphone jack, simply plug the headset's 3.5mm connector directly into the port.
3. Adjust your computer's sound settings to select the EX-05S headset as the default playback and recording device.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Volume Control

The EX-05S headset features an inline control box on the cable. Use the volume dial to adjust the overall audio level of your game and chat sound.

5.2 Microphone Mute

A switch or button on the inline control box allows you to quickly mute or unmute your microphone. Ensure the microphone is unmuted when you wish to communicate.

5.3 Microphone Positioning

The flexible microphone arm can be rotated 180 degrees. Position the microphone approximately 1-2 inches from your mouth for optimal voice clarity and to minimize background noise.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the headset. For ear cups, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the speaker grilles. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the headset in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tangling the cable.
• Handling: Always grasp the plug when disconnecting the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself, to prevent damage to the wiring.
• Ear Cups: The breathable micro-fibre ear cups can be gently wiped clean. Avoid excessive pressure or stretching.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 No Sound from Headset

• Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into the audio port.
• Check the inline volume control on the headset cable and ensure it is turned up.
• Verify your device's (console, PC, Mac) audio output settings are configured to send sound to the headset.
• Test the headset on another device to rule out a device-specific issue.

7.2 Microphone Not Working

• Check the microphone mute switch on the inline control box and ensure it is unmuted.
• Verify your device's (console, PC, Mac) microphone input settings are configured to receive input from the headset.
• Ensure the microphone arm is positioned correctly and not obstructed.
• Test the microphone on another device or application to confirm functionality.

7.3 Static or Distorted Audio

• Ensure the connection is secure and free from debris.
• Try adjusting the volume levels on both the headset and the connected device.
• Move away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones).
