- Connect the included 2.4GHz wireless dongle to your computer's USB-A or USB-C port for automatic low-latency audio.
- For Nintendo Switch: Plug the dongle's USB-A connector directly into the Switch dock's USB port. Alternatively, connect the dongle directly to the Switch console's USB-C port (undocked mode) using the dongle's USB-C connector.
- For PlayStation consoles (PS4/PS5): Connect the dongle's USB-A end to the front or rear USB port.
- When only the dongle is connected, the headset automatically switches to the dongle audio source. During simultaneous dongle/Bluetooth connections, incoming calls automatically prioritize Bluetooth. For non-call situations, hold the ANC button for 1 second to prioritize the 2.4GHz connection.
