Setup

1. Charging the Amplifier

1. Connect the supplied USB power cable to the Micro USB port on the amplifier.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
3. The Charging Indicator will illuminate during charging. It will turn off or change color (depending on the model) when fully charged.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off and Volume Control

• To power on the amplifier, rotate the ON/OFF Switch/Volume Control knob clockwise until you hear a click and the Power Indicator illuminates.
• Continue rotating clockwise to increase the volume. Rotate counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
• To power off, rotate the knob counter-clockwise until you hear a click and the Power Indicator turns off.

2. Using the Gain Switch

The GAIN switch allows you to adjust the amplification level to match your headphones' impedance and your listening preference.

• 'L' (Low Gain): Suitable for most standard headphones and earphones, providing clear audio without excessive volume.
• 'H' (High Gain): Recommended for high-impedance headphones (e.g., 150-300Ω) or when you require a stronger audio output.

Experiment with both settings to find the optimal sound for your specific headphones and audio source. It is generally recommended to start with 'L' gain and adjust as needed.

Maintenance

• Keep the amplifier dry and away from moisture.
• Avoid extreme temperatures.
• Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
