Setup
1. Connecting the Headphones
The JBL T26C headphones connect to your audio device via a standard 3.5mm audio jack. Locate the 3.5mm audio port on your smartphone, tablet, computer, or other audio source. Insert the 3.5mm gold-plated connector from your headphones firmly into this port.
2. Adjusting the Fit
For optimal comfort and sound quality, adjust the headphones to fit your head. The JBL T26C features self-adjusting ear-cups and an adjustable headband. Gently extend or retract the headband slides until the ear-cups rest comfortably over your ears, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit.

Operating the Headphones
1. Audio Playback
Once connected to your audio source, begin playing audio from your device. The headphones will reproduce the sound. Ensure your audio source's volume is not set too high before placing the headphones on your ears.
2. Volume Control
Volume adjustments are controlled directly from your connected audio device (e.g., smartphone, computer). There are no integrated volume controls on the JBL T26C headphones themselves.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean your headphones, gently wipe the ear-cups and headband with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or internal components. Avoid getting moisture into any openings.
2. Storage
When not in use, store your headphones in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. Avoid wrapping the cable tightly around the headphones to prevent damage to the wiring.
