Getting Started

Charging the headphones and remote control unit

The Easi-Ears headphones and remote control unit are fully rechargeable. These

It’s advised that the headphones and remote control unit are fully charged before use.

To do this ensure that the headphones and remote control unit are properly docked in

the docking station and plug the docking station into a mains power supply.

It will take approx 16 hours to fully charge the set.

When the headphones require more charge the red light will flash slowly. You will know

when the remote control unit needs more charge because a low battery symbol will show.

The red LED light on the headphones and the remote control unit will flash slowly during

charging and will stay on when fully charged.

Installing the software

The Easi-Ears software enables you to manage the audio tracks you want on each

headphone – uploading the same content to all of them, or differentiating each

headset. More on using the software on p.10

Using the Headphones

Operating the Controls

The headphones operate independently and audio content is uploaded to them via the

docking station and Easi-Ears software (see p.10). They can also receive signals from the

remote control unit as they contain an infra-red wireless receiver and are rechargeable

(see p. 4). The headphones have also been carefully designed so that the headband

easily adjusts to comfortably fit different head sizes.

n

To switch the headphones on, simply extend the headband and they will be

ready to play. The best way to do this is to put them on. After a few seconds

they will have booted up.

n

To switch them off again, close the headband up. This will happen

automatically when you take them off

n

The headphones have an automatic pause feature. When removed (e.g.

they may be taken off temporarily for a short break) they change to a low-

power “standby” mode for 20 minutes. This allows them to start playing

again immediately when you put them on again. After 20 minutes, they will

switch off completely.

into the remote control unit

n

Plug in any external audio device to the “Line In” socket, e.g. a cassette

player, CD player, radio, TV, MP3 player and record, and record the tracks

onto the remote control unit. This means that if the file format wasn’t in MP3

format it will neatly be converted

Any recordings captured by the remote control unit will be evident when the unit is

panel in the Easi-Ears software, next time you dock the remote control unit

and open up the software (see p.11).

The remote control unit can be charged by placing it firmly onto the docking station

and ensuring that the docking station is connected to power. The red LED light will flash

slowly during charge and will stay on solidly when fully charged (see p.4).
