Connecting the audio output device via Bluetooth

In Bluetooth mode, you can receive audio signals wirelessly from an external Bluetooth-enabled audio output device. Make sure the two devices are not more than 10 metres apart.
Only one audio output device can be paired with the headphones at a time.

Follow these instructions to pair a new Bluetooth-enabled audio output device with the headphones:

• Enable Bluetooth mode on your audio output device.
• Press and hold the multifunction button (6) for approximately 3 seconds until the headphones switch on.

The headphones switch automatically to Bluetooth pairing mode. The operating LED (4) flashes red and blue alternately.

The device name of the headphones MD 43474 will be displayed in the device list on your audio output device as soon as the signal is found.

If you are prompted to enter a password for pairing, enter 0000.

• Now connect your Bluetooth-enabled audio output device to the headphones.
  You will find more information about the Bluetooth function of your audio output device in its user manual.

Once the two devices are paired with each other, the operating LED will flash blue and you will hear a sound through the headphones to confirm that they are connected.
When signals are being transmitted via Bluetooth, you can control playback using your audio output device and the multifunction button.
Every time the headphones are switched on, they automatically attempt to connect to the last audio output device connected via Bluetooth.

Disconnecting a Bluetooth connection

• You can disconnect an existing Bluetooth connection by pressing and holding the multifunction button for 2 seconds.
  The headphones then disconnect from the existing connection and switch to pairing mode.

• If you press and hold the multifunction button for 2 seconds during pairing mode, the headphones will reconnect to the last audio device connected.

Deleting all Bluetooth connections

• Switch the headphones off.
• Press and hold the multifunction button for 10 seconds to delete all existing Bluetooth connection information.
  The switch-on signal will sound and after some time the acoustic confirmation that all connection information has been deleted.

Connecting your audio output device using the audio cable

You can use the audio cable provided to connect your headphones to any device with a suitable audio connection (3.5 mm jack) and enable audio playback.

To do so, proceed as follows:

• Plug the audio cable jack into the AUX IN socket (7) on your headphones and connect the cable to your audio output device.
• Start playback on the connected audio output device.
  When signals are being transmitted via a cable, it is not possible to control playback using the multifunction button. In this case, you have to rely on the controls on your audio output device.

Disposal

PACKAGING

Your device has been packaged to protect it from damage in transit. The packaging is made of materials that can be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.

DEVICE (ONLY IN GERMANY)

All electrical or electronic devices marked with the symbol shown must not be disposed of in normal household waste. Instead, the end consumer must dispose of these devices at a collection point separately from unsorted urban waste at the end of their service life.

End consumers must separate used batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the waste equipment from the equipment, as well as bulbs that can be removed from the waste equipment, without causing damage before it is handed over at a collection centre and taken to a separate collection point.

Distributors with a sales area for electrical and electronic devices of at least 400 square metres and distributors of foodstuffs with a total sales area of at least 800 square meters, who offer electrical and electronic devices several times a calendar year or on a permanent basis and make them available on the market, are obliged to take back waste equipment free of charge if the end consumer buys a new piece of electrical or electronic equipment of the same type and functionality at the point of supply or in the immediate vicinity and of up to three items of waste equipment per device type that are less than 25 cm in length on their longest side at the request of the end consumer in the retail store or in the immediate vicinity.

In case of distribution by means of remote communication, all storage and shipping areas for electrical and electronic devices of the distributors are considered to be the sales area and all storage and shipping areas as the total sales area. In addition, the collection of waste equipment in categories 1, 2 and 4 of Annex 1 as defined in Section 2 Para. 1 (heat exchangers, screens, monitors and devices containing screens with a surface area of more than 100 cubic centimetres, large devices), free of charge is also applicable to distribution through remote communication when new electrical or electronic devices are purchased by and delivered to a private household.

Free collection centres and, if applicable, additional collection points for the recycling of waste equipment are available to take back waste equipment in your area. You can obtain the relevant addresses from your local authority.

If the waste equipment contains data storage, all data must be backed up externally and then permanently, irretrievably deleted from the waste equipment. End consumers are solely responsible for ensuring that all personal data is deleted from the waste equipment to be disposed of.

The rechargeable battery is an integral component of the device, which means that users cannot simply replace it themselves.

DEVICE
The device is fitted with an integrated rechargeable battery. At the end of its service life, do not dispose of the device in the normal household rubbish. Instead, contact your local authority to find out how to dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner at collection points for electrical and electronic scrap.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
Do not dispose of used rechargeable batteries with household rubbish.
Rechargeable batteries must be disposed of correctly. For this purpose, retailers that sell batteries and local collection points provide containers in which you can dispose of them. Contact your local waste disposal company or your local authority for more information.

In connection with the sale of rechargeable batteries or the supply of equipment containing batteries, we are obliged to draw your attention to the following:
As the end user, you are legally required to return used rechargeable batteries.
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol means that the rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with household rubbish.
