    heard from the unit once every 3 minutes, and the LED indicator flashes red. In this case, recharge the battery before using the unit.
    Note
  • Battery recharging time and usable battery time may vary depending on ambient temperature and frequency of use.
  • Do not place metal objects near the headphones’ charging contacts, since dangerous electrical shorts or abnormal heating may result.
    Notes on battery charging
  • This device cannot be used during charging. · Battery performance is influenced by the surrounding temperature. Charge the supplied rechargeable batteries within a temperature range of 10 to 35 degrees Celsius.
  • Do not overcharge batteries. In order to protect batteries, do not repeatedly charge the batteries that are already fully charged.
  • Batteries become slightly warm when charging. This is not a malfunction.
  • Please use the accessory micro-USB cable for recharging; using other cables may result in malfunction.
  • Recharging may not be possible if computer is in power-saving mode.
  • Always confirm the proper shape and orientation of the micro-USB cable plugs before attempting to connect to the headphones and computer.
  • Do not use micro-USB cables when tightly twisted or bundled, since fire or electric shock might result.
  • If you do not plan to use this product for an extended period, avoid storing it in a hot or humid location (such as in a vehicle or in direct sunlight). Storage in such locations may degrade the rechargeable battery and shorten the usable time.
  • If you do not plan to use this product for an extended period, charge it for approximately one hour before storing it. Long periods of storage with a full battery or without any charge may degrade the rechargeable battery and shorten the usable time.
