Charging the Creative Outlier Free Mini
Ensure the magnetic charging cable is securely connected to the headphones' magnetic charging port before connecting to a power source. If the cable is not secured or connected incorrectly, remove and reconnect it properly. A secure connection is essential to prevent short circuits.
WARNING: Keep the device and charging cable in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources. Unplug the cable when fully charged or unused to prevent battery damage.
Multipoint Pairing
To connect to two devices simultaneously:
- Disconnect the headphones from the first mobile device. They will automatically initiate Bluetooth pairing.
- On the second mobile device, select the headphones from the list of discovered devices to pair.
- Once paired with the second device, reconnect the first mobile device to complete Multipoint Pairing.
Multipoint connection is established when Bluetooth is active on both devices.
Master Reset
To reset the headphones to factory settings:
- Enter Bluetooth pairing mode (headphones powered off, press and hold Multifunction Button for 5 seconds).
- Press and hold both the Volume + and Volume - buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
Upon completion, the headphones will play a "Power Off" voice prompt and shut down. This is useful for resolving issues like pairing failures or random LED blinking.
