Before using this product, carefully read this manual and any manuals for compatible hardware. Retain instructions for future reference.
Battery life and duration
- Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries.
- The battery has a limited life span. Battery duration will gradually decrease with repeated usage and age. Battery life also varies depending on the storage method, conditions of use and environmental factors.
- Charge in an environment where the temperature range is between 10°C - 30°C (50°F - 86°F). Charging may not be as effective when performed in other environments.

Use and handling precautions
- Avoid prolonged use of this product. Take a break at about 30 minute intervals.
- Stop using this unit immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience discomfort or pain in your hands or arms during use. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
- Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headset or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to sound normal but can actually be damaging your hearing. If you experience ringing or any discomfort in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the sooner your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:
- Limit the amount of time you use headset or headphones at high volume.
- Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
- Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.
- Avoid looking into the light bar of the controller when it is flashing. Stop using the controller immediately if you experience any discomfort or pain in any body parts.
- This product is intended for use with the hands only.
- The vibration function of this product may aggravate injuries. Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the bones, joints, or muscles of your hands or arms.
