Charging the Headphones

When the red LED flashes three times every five minutes and a voice prompt says "low battery," the battery needs charging. Connect the charging cable to a computer or adapter and the headphone's micro USB port. The red LED lights up during charging and turns off when fully charged.

Using the 3.5 mm Audio Cable

The headphones can be used with devices without Bluetooth or in environments where Bluetooth may be restricted (e.g., airplanes) by connecting the 3.5 mm audio cable. Connect one end to the headphone's audio jack and the other to the audio device's headphone jack. Note that digital sound enhancement, Bluetooth, and the microphone will not function when using the audio cable. End any calls before connecting the audio jack.
