- Insert the smaller connectors of the provided audio cable firmly into the corresponding jacks on the headphones. Ensure they click into place.

3.2 Wearing the Headphones
- Adjust the headband to comfortably fit over your head. The earcups should fully enclose your ears without excessive pressure.
- Ensure the 'L' (left) and 'R' (right) markings on the inside of the headband correspond to your left and right ears for proper stereo imaging.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Audio Playback
Once connected to an audio source, begin playback from your device. The headphones will reproduce the audio signal. Adjust the volume using the controls on your audio source or the inline remote control if your cable is equipped with one.
4.2 Volume Control and Remote Functions
If your audio cable includes an inline remote, it may offer functions such as volume adjustment, play/pause, and track skipping. Refer to your audio source device's manual for compatibility and specific remote control functions.
4.3 Passive Noise Cancellation
The AH-D9200 headphones are designed with passive noise cancellation, meaning their physical construction helps to reduce ambient noise. For optimal noise isolation, ensure the earcups form a good seal around your ears.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
- Earcups and Headband: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the bamboo earcups and leather headband. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Earpads: The earpads are designed for comfort and durability. If they become soiled, gently wipe them with a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely before use.
- Cables: Keep cables clean and free from kinks. Wipe with a dry cloth as needed.

When not in use, store your headphones in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a protective case, to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity.
