6. Bluetooth Pairing
To connect your PX headphones to a Bluetooth
enabled audio device, such as your mobile phone,
they must first be 'paired' with the device. Once
paired, the Bluetooth device and the headphones
will 'remember' each other will be able to connect
without re-pairing when within range.
The first time you switch on your PX headphones
they will start up in Bluetooth pairing mode. To pair a
device follow these steps:
•
Ensure the headphones are switched on and in
Pairing Mode. The indicator will blink blue.
•
Open the Bluetooth settings on the device to be
paired and ensure Bluetooth is switched on. 'PX
Bowers & Wilkins' will appear as an available
device. Select 'PX Bowers & Wilkins' and close
the Bluetooth settings.
•
The headphone indicator will flash blue while
pairing is underway and switch to continuous
blue when pairing is established. The
headphones will also play an audible cue when
pairing is established.
•
Once pairing is established, ensure that the
headphones are selected as the playback device
in the audio apps.
For any subsequent pairs, your headphones must be
switched manually to pairing mode: This is illustrated
in Diagram 6.
•
With the headphones switched on, press and
hold the combined Bluetooth/power button
directly inwards for two seconds. The indicator
will flash blue and the headphones will play a cue
as they enter Pairing Mode.
•
Once again, go to the Bluetooth setup screen of
the device you want to pair with the headphones
and look for 'PX Bowers & Wilkins' in the list. Tap
on it and the two devices will pair.
Note: Your headphones will automatically exit
from Bluetooth pairing mode if no device is paired
within five minutes.
Note: Pairing may occasionally fail, in which
case the headphone indicator will flash blue
in two second bursts. Try again with the two
devices closer together.
6.1 Bluetooth Pairing Notes
•
Your PX
headphones
can remember up to eight
paired Bluetooth devices. It is possible for two
devices to be connected simultaneously to
enable, for example, music to play from one
device while telephone calls are taken from
the other.
•
When your headphones start up following a
period switched off or in standby mode, they
will connect to the last connected device if it
is switched on and within range. Other paired
devices will not connect automatically but
must be selected for connection via their
Bluetooth settings.
•
When disconnected, pressing the headphone's
Bluetooth button at any time will cue connection
to the last connected device if possible.
•
To disconnect a Bluetooth source device from
your PX headphones press the Bluetooth button
twice in quick succession. This will disconnect
all Bluetooth connected devices. The
headphones will play an audible cue when
Bluetooth is disconnected.
•
The headphone paired device memory can
be erased by pressing and holding and the
Bluetooth and Volume – buttons simultaneously
for 2 seconds. The indicator will flash and your
headphones will restart.
7. Controlling Bluetooth Audio
The PX headphone Play/Pause, Volume + and
Volume – buttons can be used to control audio:
•
To increase volume press the Volume + button.
•
To decrease volume press the Volume – button.
•
To play or pause audio press and release the
Play/ Pause button.
•
To select the next track press the Play/ Pause
button twice in quick succession.
•
To select the previous track press the Play/
Pause button three times in quick succession.
8. Real World Listening
PX headphone Environment Filter noise-cancellation
is switched on by pressing the Environment
Filter button on the side of the right ear piece.
Environment Filter is switched off by default. Three
alternative Environment Filter profiles are available
that provide noise-cancellation characteristics tuned
for different environments. These are selected via the
Bowers & Wilkins PX Headphone app. The right ear
piece Environment Filter on/off button will select the
last used noise-canceling profile.
The PX headphone Voice Pass-through function
enables external sounds such as conversation or
safety announcements to be heard without the
need to remove the headphones. Voice Pass-
through is selected via the Bowers & Wilkins PX
Headphone app.
Note: The Environment Filter and Voice Pass-
through functions do not require the headphones
to be playing an audio signal. If headphone audio
is playing the audibility of Voice Pass-through will
always to some extent depend on its character
and volume level.
Note: Wearing glasses that distort the profile
of your ears may interfere with headphone
Environment Filter performance. Similarly, hair
trapped between your ears and the headphone
ear-pieces may compromise proximity sensing.

9. Mobile Phone Use
Your PX headphones can be used with a Bluetooth
connected mobile phone to make voice calls:
•
To answer a call press and release the Play/
Pause button.
•
To reject a call press the Play/Pause button for
two seconds.
•
To end a call press and release the Play/
Pause button.
Bluetooth audio playing while a telephone call
is taken will be paused. It will resume when the
call is ended.
Note: Telephone functions only operate when the
headphones are connected via Bluetooth.
