NOTICE: Do not connect any other type of power supply to the headphones. Doing so may result in damage to the headphones.

BASIC OPERATION

CAUTION: Avoid listening to the headphones at loud volume settings for long periods of time as this can result in hearing damage.

HPC-1000 & HPC-1010 Operation

1. Adjust the headphone volume to a minimum.
2. Connect the USB plug to the computer. The computer should automatically detect and install the device. Wait until the installation is complete. If using Windows 98, an additional driver may be required to install the device. Visit www.califone.com to download the driver. The Power LED should light green.
3. On the computer, use the Audio Settings Control Panel/Preferences to select the device to output audio.
4. Begin playing audio on the computer.
5. To help reduce peaks in the audio and reduce the risk of hearing damage due to loud sounds in the headphones, enable the 85dB Limiter by moving the Limiter switch to the ON position. The Limiter LED should be light green.
6. Increase the volume to the desired level.
7. The HPC-1010 also includes a Mic Off (to mute the microphone) and MUTE button (to mute the audio output to the headphones). Momentarily press the buttons to enable/disable these functions.

HPE-1020 & HPE-1030 Operation
