IMPORTANT:

Your headsets are water-resistant, designed for use under moderate rain or 

snow conditions. The cover lid protecting the Charging Jack should be kept 

tightly closed at all times to prevent moisture from entering the device.

IN SINGULAR, THEY APPLY TO BOTH UNITS UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE

3. CHARGING THE HEADSET

Make sure that your headset is fully charged for at least four hours 

before initial use. Open the silicone cover protecting the Charging 

jack and Firmware download port.

Insert the USB cable to the wall charger and insert 

the other end of the cable to the headset’s 

Charging Jack. While charging, the Red Light turns 

on. When charging is complete, the Red Light will 

turn off.
