Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to connect your ONIKUMA K8 headset to your device.

1. Identify Connectors: The headset has a main cable with a 3.5mm audio jack (for sound and microphone) and a USB connector (for LED lighting). If your device has separate audio and microphone ports, use the included 3.5mm splitter cable.
2. Connect to PC:
   • Plug the 3.5mm audio jack into your PC's audio output port.
   • If using the microphone, plug the 3.5mm microphone jack (from the splitter) into your PC's microphone input port.
   • Plug the USB connector into an available USB port on your PC to power the LED lights.
3. Connect to PS4/Xbox/Switch/Mobile:
   • For devices with a single 3.5mm combo jack (audio and mic), plug the headset's 3.5mm audio jack directly into the device.
   • For devices requiring separate audio and microphone inputs, use the 3.5mm splitter cable.
   • The USB connector for LED lighting may not be compatible with all consoles or mobile devices. Connect it to a USB power source if LED functionality is desired and supported.
4. Adjust Settings: After connecting, navigate to your device's audio settings to ensure the ONIKUMA K8 is selected as the default audio output and input device. Adjust volume levels as needed.

Operating Instructions

Understand the basic functions of your headset.

• Volume Control: Use the inline volume roller located on the headset cable to adjust the audio output level.
• Microphone Mute: A switch on the inline control allows you to quickly mute or unmute the microphone. Ensure the microphone is unmuted when you wish to communicate.
• LED Lighting: The headset's LED lights will activate automatically when the USB connector is plugged into a powered USB port. There is no separate control for the LED lighting.
• Noise Cancellation: The integrated active noise cancellation feature helps reduce ambient noise for clearer communication.

Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity of your headset.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the headset. For ear cushions, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure they are completely dry before use. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the headset in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tangling the cable by coiling it neatly.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the headset or exposing it to excessive force. Do not pull on the cable to disconnect it; always grasp the plug.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common solutions.

• No Sound:
  • Ensure the 3.5mm audio jack is fully inserted into the correct port.
  • Check the inline volume control and your device's volume settings to ensure they are not muted or set too low.
  • Verify that the headset is selected as the default audio output device in your system settings.
  • Test the headset with another device to rule out a device-specific issue.
• Microphone Not Working:
  • Ensure the microphone mute switch on the inline control is in the 'unmute' position.
  • If using a splitter, ensure the microphone jack is correctly plugged into the microphone input port.
  • Verify that the headset microphone is selected as the default input device in your system settings.
  • Check privacy settings on your device that might restrict microphone access.
• LED Lights Not On:
  • Ensure the USB connector is securely plugged into a powered USB port.
  • Try a different USB port.
  • Note that some consoles or mobile devices may not provide sufficient power or compatibility for the USB LED function.
