The JBL Reference Series 610 is designed for use with iPod generations 4G and above. For your hearing safety, please adjust your iPod volume to the minimum
position prior to powering up your headphones.
Power “On” your headphones by pressing the power button located on the left ear cup. The blue LED on the headphone will light up (at first solid, followed
by three consecutive, quick flashes – indicating that headphones are ready to be “discovered”). Plug in your dongle after headphone system is in discoverable
mode. The LED on the mating transceiver will start to blink rapidly, indicating pairing with each other. (To power “Off” headphones, press power button.)
Connect the Bluetooth transceiver to the mating Omni connector on the base of your iPod. Connecting the transceiver will automatically power up your iPod.
Once the headphones and Bluetooth transceiver are paired and connected, the blue LED on the headphones and the transceiver’s LED will blink slowly and
intermittently. You are now ready to use your wireless headphone system.
(Note: Pairing of the headphones and transceiver may take up to one minute.)
If Bluetooth connection is lost due to moving out of transmission range, move closer to the iPod and press the play/pause button “>”. It will re-pair to the
Bluetooth transceiver.

The JBL Reference Series 610 headphones can also be used with other Bluetooth music devices. The
Bluetooth product must be enabled with the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). This will allow
streaming of music to your headphones. A Bluetooth device with both A2DP and AVRCP (Audio/Video
Remote Control Profile) will stream music and allow functionality of the “Music Playing Mode” control
features.
Make sure headphone power is “Off” and transceiver is disconnected from the iPod.
Turn headphone power back “On” and wait for solid LED, then three quick flashes – indicating that the
headphone system is in “discoverable” mode.
To pair your Bluetooth-enabled device to the headphones, please refer to your user’s manual for the
proper setup procedure.
When your audio device requests a passcode to pair with the JBL Reference Series 610 headphone
system, enter the numerical sequence “0000”.
Note: The headphone control features may be limited when used with devices other than your iPod, due to
the varying designs and possible remote control
limitations of your audio device.
