Setup Instructions
Connecting to Xbox Consoles (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One)
- Locate the 3.5mm audio port on your Xbox controller. This port is typically found at the bottom of the controller.
- Insert the 3.5mm audio jack from the headset firmly into the controller's audio port.
- Once connected, the headset should be recognized by your Xbox console. You may need to adjust audio settings within the Xbox system menu to optimize sound and microphone levels.
Connecting to PC, Mac, or Mobile Devices
- Ensure your device has a compatible 3.5mm audio jack. Some PCs may require a splitter (not included) if separate ports are used for microphone and audio output.
- Insert the 3.5mm audio jack from the headset into your device's audio port.
- Adjust audio input and output settings within your device's operating system or application (e.g., Windows Sound Settings, macOS Sound Preferences, Discord, Steam) to select the headset as the primary audio device.
Operating Instructions
Adjusting Volume
- Locate the volume control dial on the left earcup of the headset.
- Rotate the dial upwards to increase volume and downwards to decrease volume.
- Further volume adjustments can be made through your connected device's system settings.
Using the Microphone (Flip-to-Mute)
- To activate the microphone, lower the flexible boom microphone into the speaking position.
- To mute the microphone, flip the boom microphone upwards until it clicks into the vertical position. This action physically mutes the microphone.
- Ensure the microphone is positioned close to your mouth for optimal voice clarity.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the headset's exterior surfaces.
- For earcups, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before use. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these may damage the headset's finish or components.
Storage
- Store the headset in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid coiling the cable tightly to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
No Audio or Low Volume
- Check Connections: Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into your device's audio port.
- Adjust Volume: Verify the headset's volume dial is turned up and that your device's master volume is not muted or set too low.
- Device Settings: Confirm the headset is selected as the default audio output device in your console or PC sound settings.
- Test on Another Device: Connect the headset to a different device (e.g., a smartphone) to determine if the issue is with the headset or the original device.
Microphone Not Working
- Check Mute Status: Ensure the microphone boom is flipped down into the active position.
- Device Settings: Verify the headset microphone is selected as the default input device in your console or PC sound settings. Adjust microphone levels if necessary.
- Application Settings: Check microphone settings within your game or communication application (e.g., Discord, Xbox Party Chat).
- Test on Another Device: Connect the headset to a different device to isolate the problem.
