Operating Instructions
1. Volume Control
Locate the in-line volume control wheel on the headset cable. Rotate the wheel upwards to increase volume and downwards to decrease volume.
2. Microphone Mute
The in-line control also features a microphone mute switch. Slide the switch to the 'Mute' position to disable the microphone, and slide it back to enable it.
3. Device Audio Settings
After connecting the headset, ensure your device (console, PC, or mobile) recognizes it as the primary audio output and input device. Refer to your device's system settings for audio configuration if necessary.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the headset and earcups with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the speaker grilles or microphone. 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 wrapping the cable tightly around the headset to prevent damage.
