Connecting a 3.5 mm Sound Device

Connecting Headphones to Your Major V

Allow a friend to connect their headphones to the 3.5 mm AUX port on your Major V to listen together.

1. Ensure Major V is connected to your sound source via Bluetooth.
2. Connect the 3.5 mm jack of the other headphones to the 3.5 mm AUX port on Major V.

Cleaning Your Major V

Clean your headphones regularly to maintain performance and prevent skin irritation. Unplug all cables before cleaning and ensure the headphones are completely dry before charging or use.

Remove ear cushions by turning them anticlockwise. Clean them separately. To reattach, place them on the ear cups at a 45° angle and turn clockwise to lock.

Gently clean headphones, headband, ear cushions, and cables with a lint-free cloth, slightly damp with:

• Water
• 70% isopropyl alcohol
• 75% ethyl alcohol

Avoid moisture in openings or the speaker mesh. Use a dry, soft brush or cotton swab for these areas.

• Do not use sharp objects.
• Do not use compressed air.
• Do not use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
• Do not submerge headphones in cleaning agents.
• Do not rinse headphones under running water.

Battery Care Guide

To maintain battery health:

• Avoid fast chargers.
• Avoid draining the battery completely or charging when already full. Aim for 30%-80% charge.
• For long-term storage, charge to about 50% and perform a factory reset. Store in a cool, dark, dry place.
• Avoid hot (above 45°C/113°F) or unventilated places for use or charging.
• Avoid charging below 10°C/50°F and using below 0°C/32°F.
• Avoid strong mechanical shocks like dropping.

Use the Marshall Bluetooth app to select battery preservation settings.

Pairing a New Device

Major V can connect to two devices simultaneously and remembers up to 10 paired devices. It will attempt to reconnect to the last connected device when in range.

1. Ensure headphones are turned on.
2. Double press the Control knob; the LED will pulse blue slowly.
3. Select MAJOR V from your sound device's Bluetooth list.

Resetting the Headphones

If headphones are erratic or unresponsive:

1. Push and hold the control jog for 10 seconds to restart.
2. If the problem persists, perform a factory reset (this deletes user settings and requires re-pairing).

Factory Reset:

1. Remove MAJOR V and MAJOR V [LE] from your sound device's Bluetooth list and the Marshall Bluetooth app.
2. Push and hold both the control jog and M-button for 10 seconds, release when the LED turns purple.
