Turning on / off

The functions listed below refer to the Amiron wireless when it has already been paired with a Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device.

• Turning on:
  Hold down the button for approx. 2 seconds.
  The LED will illuminate red once.
• Turning off:
  Hold down the button for approx 6 seconds.
  The LED will illuminate red once and then go out.

Pairing with the player

Before you use the Amiron wireless for the first time, you have to pair it with your mobile phone or another Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device. The pairing process may be different with various players. Please refer to the appropriate manual of the player.

• When the Amiron wireless is turned off, press the button for 6 seconds to start the Bluetooth wireless technology mode. The LED will rapidly flash blue and red accordingly.
• Activate the Bluetooth wireless technology function on your player and, if necessary, search for new d evices.
• Select "beyerdynamic Amiron wireless" under the available devices in the Bluetooth wireless technology menu of your player and pair both devices. Each time when turning on, both devices are paired automatically.

Alternatively, you can connect the Amiron wireless with an NFC-capable playback device through NFC. The Amiron must be switched on. It does not matter whether the Amiron is in pairing mode or not.

• Activate the NFC function on your playback device so that all necessary information can be transmitted to the playback device and a connection can be established.
• Hold the NFC sensor of your playback device to the lower area of the left headphone housing, because the NFC chip is integrated there. Refer also to the NFC logo in the drawing. Please note that the exact positon of the NFC sensor of your playback device is described in the respective manual.
  

Pairing and clearing the list of players
If there are already several players in the list of your Amiron wireless and your Amiron wireless cannot be paired with another new player, the list is full and should be cleared so that the new player can be added.
This is how to clear the list:

• Hold down the button of the turned off Amiron wireless for more than 10 seconds, so that the Amiron wireless will switch into the pairing mode and clear the list of players simultaneously.

Multi point operation

The Amiron wireless can be paired to up 8 Bluetooth wireless technology enabled devices. Active connections can be established with up to two devices at a time. However, playback of music and phone operation is only possible with one device at a time. Phone operation has priority over playback of music; i. e. playback of music is interrupted during phone calls.

The following priorities apply during the use of playback devices PD:

Setting up multi point

• Pair the Amiron wireless with the first device (refer to "pairing with the player").
• Deactivate the Bluetooth wireless technology connection on the first device.

Playback device settings for your best wireless sound

To achieve your best possible sound via Bluetooth wireless technology with Amiron wireless, you should c onsider the following practical hints:

• Set the volume of the Amiron wireless to minimum, of the playback device to maximum. From then on, adjust the volume on the Amiron wireless only, not on the playback device. This applies only to playback devices that do not automatically synchronise the volume.
• On playback devices that automatically synchronise the volume (e.g. iPhone, iPad, various Android smartphones), the headphones volume is always identical to the volume of the playback device.

• Deactivate any audio effects that might exist in your player software.
• Ensure that aptX HD is switched on at the Amiron wireless, if supported by your playback device.

Troubleshooting

Connection of the audio cable

Included in the package contents is an audio cable with a remote control and with a 3.5 mm jack plug on either end. Connect one end of the audio cable to the jack socket of the headphone housing if you want to use the headphones without Bluetooth wireless technology. Ensure that the Amiron wireless is switched off. In this case the headphones are f unctioning passively so that no electricity is drawn from the battery.

Controls of cable remote control

1. Jack connector 3.5 mm to connect to ear cup
2. Remote control
3. Jack connector 3.5 mm to connect to audio device
4. Button to increase volume
5. Button to control calls and media playback
6. Button to reduce volume

Operating instructions

The enclosed cable includes a microphone and a remote control with three buttons. You can use this remote control to control calls, media playback and volume adjustment on compatible smartphones and tablets.
This requires that the playback device is provided with a built-in headphone jack, and the pin assignment meets the CTIA standard. Only in this case are the functions described below possible.
Connect the cable to the right ear cup of the headphone.

Media playback

On smartphones and tablets with an Android system, it is necessary that the playback device supports the so-called Wired Audio Headset Specification (https://source.android.com/devices/accessories/headset/specification.html). Please contact the smartphone or tablet manufacturer, if necessary.

Call personal assistant

Maintenance

• To clean the Amiron wireless use only a soft cloth - either dry or slightly damp.
• Do not use cleaners that contain solvents as they can damage the surface.

Since the ear pads are subject to natural wear, they should be replaced from time to time.
You can do this easily yourself:

• Grasp the ear pad at the rim and pull it off the headphone housing (refer to illu. 1). Please note that you need a little bit of physical effort. A lternatively you can use a blunt flat tool to pull it off (refer to illu. 2).
  
  
  Be careful to avoid scratches or other damages or injuries!
• The FCC/IC/Japan registration number is found under the ear pad and black fleece of the left headphone housing.
  

• Attach the new ear pad.
  
  The holding tab on the ring of the ear pad must lock with the notch of the headphone housing.
  

In the event that other components require replacement, please contact your local beyerdynamic representative.

Safety instructions

When you connect the headphones, please make sure that the volume level is set to minimum. Adjust the volume level only after putting on the headphones. We would like to point out that excessively high volumes and long listening times may cause hearing damage. Hearing defects always constitute an irreversible impairment of hearing ability.

Always ensure an adequate volume level. It is advisable to keep listening times as short as possible at high volume levels. This also shows an example from working life: According to occupational regulations for safety and health the noise exposure should not exceed 85 dB (low volume) when working with an a llowed time of listening of 8 hours at maximum. If the volume is increased by 3 dB, the allowed time of listening is halved, i.e. with 88 dB the time of l istening is 4 hours, with 91 dB 2 hours and so on.
The beyerdynamic MIY App allows you to personalise your Amiron wireless. The App's tracking function allows to use the Amiron wireless so that the headphones will not exceed a maximum of acoustic impact ("noise") that is calculated from common, general findings. Please note that the Amiron wireless and the MIY App can only register noise impact that is created by the headphones themselves; other, external sources of noise such as construction noise, concerts, etc. can of course not be considered in the calculation of acoustic impact. Therefore, the Amiron wireless and the MIY App do not offer a summary of the entire exposure of your hearing. The MIY App only displays the acoustic load that is wirelessly transmitted via the Amiron wireless and allows to limit it to acceptable levels.

Danger to life!
Headphones drastically reduce perception of e xternal sounds. Using headphones in road traffic can be potentially dangerous. The user's hearing must not be impaired to the extent that it causes road safety risks. Please also make sure that you do not use the in-ear headphones within an area of p otentially dangerous machines and tools.

Risk of injury!
Avoid sudden movements when using wired headphones. You might seriously hurt yourself especially if you wear piercings, earrings, glasses, etc., where the wire can get caught.
