Setup Guide
1. Charging the Headset
Before first use, fully charge your headset. There are two methods for charging:
- Using the Charging Base: Place the headset onto the charging base. Ensure it is properly seated and the indicator light on the base illuminates, confirming charging has begun.
- Using the USB Type-C Cable: Connect the USB Type-C cable directly to the headset's charging port and to a power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter).
A full charge provides approximately 45 hours of working time and 300 hours of standby time.

Operating Instructions
Microphone Usage and Noise Cancellation
The headset features a 270° rotatable microphone, allowing you to position it on either the left or right side for optimal voice capture. The microphone incorporates advanced noise-cancelling technology, separating your voice from environmental sounds to ensure clear communication.

Mute Function
A dedicated mute button is conveniently located on the side of the headset, allowing you to quickly mute or unmute your microphone during calls. The headset provides voice prompts such as "mute on" or "mute off" to confirm the status. This function works across mobile phone calls and UC platforms like Zoom, Skype, and Teams (when using the Bluetooth dongle).
Volume Control
Adjust the volume using the dedicated volume controls located on the earcup of the headset.
Maintenance and Care
- Clean the headset regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Store the headset in the provided storage bag or on its charging base when not in use to protect it from dust and damage.
- Avoid exposing the headset to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
