Charge the Headset
Whether you purchased our Original or Digital version, all 5.0 headsets should
be charged for 14 hours BEFORE first use. This step will instruct you on how
to appropriately charge the headset to make sure you’re getting the best use
possible.
Turn the volume knob of the headset to the “off” position. You should hear and
feel a ‘click’ when the knob has been turned all the way off.
NOTE: If leaving your Headset for an extended period of time, please make sure to place your headset in the off position on it’s charging cradle (transmitter). This will reduce the likelihood of the battery dying completely.
Place the headset into the transmitter’s charging cradle and be sure the front of the headset is facing towards you. The TV logo should be visible on both the front of the headset as well as the front of the transmitter. Press down on the headset when it is in the cradle until it is secure. The headset should slightly stick in the cradle when you try to remove it. The charging light will illuminate when the headset is in the correct position. When fully charged, the headset should last about 4-6 hours.
