2. Setup Instructions
- Identify Earphone Connectors: Ensure your earphones are compatible with 0.78mm 2-pin sockets.
- Connect to Earphones:
- Observe the 2-pin plug on the MC2 cable. One side is flat, and the other is slightly rounded.
- The flat side of the plug must face the earphone shell.
- Gently insert the pins straight into the earphone's 2-pin socket. Do not force the connection. If it does not slide in easily, the orientation (polarity) may be incorrect.
- Note that the cable features colored labels: red for the right channel and black for the left channel. Match these to your earphones accordingly.
- Connect to Audio Device: Insert the 3.5mm audio jack into the corresponding port on your smartphone, computer, or other compatible audio device.
