Setup
1. Connecting the Transmitter Dock
The transmitter dock serves as the audio source and charging station. Connect it to your audio device (TV, computer, etc.) using one of the provided cables:
- Optical Audio Cable: For devices with an optical audio output. Connect one end to the device's optical output and the other to the optical input on the transmitter dock.
- 3.5mm Audio Cable: For devices with a 3.5mm headphone jack or audio output. Connect one end to the device and the other to the 3.5mm audio input on the transmitter dock.
- 3.5mm to RCA Audio Adapter: For devices with RCA audio outputs (red and white ports). Connect the RCA ends to your device's audio outputs, then connect the 3.5mm end of the adapter to the 3.5mm audio input on the transmitter dock.
Once the audio cable is connected, plug the AC/DC power adapter into the transmitter dock and then into a power outlet. The LED power charging indicator on the dock will illuminate.
2. Powering On and Pairing the Headphones
The headphones feature an auto-pairing function. To power on the headphones, press and hold the power button located on one of the earcups until the LED power indicator on the headphones illuminates. The headphones will automatically attempt to pair with the powered-on transmitter dock. A successful connection is typically indicated by a steady blue light on both the headphones and the dock (refer to the LED indicator section for specific light patterns).
