Important Note on Wireless Range

The. Audio 995 headset has a wireless range of up to 40 feet. However, wireless performance may be affected by nearby objects including walls, metal items, and other wireless devices. When you move the headset to the edge of its wireless range, audio may become distorted and will eventually cut out. Move closer to the wireless adapter to restore clear audio.

Note Charging time depends on the amount of power your USB device provides.

Using Your Headset

Congratulations, you can now listen to your favorite music or talk with friends and family using your new wireless headset.

1. Make sure that your headset is fully charged. When fully charged, the red status light turns off.
   Do not use your headset while it is connected to the charger.
2. Connect the wireless adapter to a USB port on your computer.
   Your computer and USB hub (if using) should be turned on.
3. After removing your headset from the charger, press the Power button to turn the headset on.

The headset and the adapter should connect immediately, and the indicator lights on both headset and wireless adapter will be solid blue. If you cannot hear anything through your headset, try adjusting the volume up or restarting the media application.

Note If steps 1 through 3 do not work, refer to "Pairing Your Headset" to manually pair your headset and adapter.

Pairing Your Headset

How to Manually Pair Your Headset and Adapter

Your headset and adapter are factory pre-paired, and should automatically connect with each other. Should your headset and adapter become unpaired, you can initiate pairing manually:

1. Press and hold the Power and Connect buttons on the headset and adapter for 4 seconds.
   The status lights on the headset and adapter will rapidly flash blue.
2. The headset and adapter will automatically attempt to pair.
   If the pairing is successful the status lights will glow solid blue; if unsuccessful, both headset and adapter will stay in pairing mode.
   If manual pairing was unsuccessful, and you want to re-attempt the pairing process, you must first take your headset and adapter out of pairing mode.
3. Turn headset off
4. Single press the Connect/Pair button on the adapter, then repeat steps 1 and 2.

Note If your headset and adapter are separated and lose their connection after being successfully paired, they will automatically reconnect when they come back into range of each other. If they remain out of range for more than 30 seconds, the headset will go into sleep mode, but will reconnect automatically with the adapter once it is back in range. If the headset is out of range for more than 15 minutes, it automatically shuts off.
