LINDY BNX-100XT Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the BNX-100XTs by Lindy. These wireless noise cancelling headphones have been developed to deliver superb
quality Hi-Fi sound using advanced aptX® technology without the distraction of annoying background noise. Audio Pass-Through mode
allows the user to let in outside noise and voices on demand without having to remove the BNX-100XTs, ideal for ordering in-flight meals,
brief work conversations or hearing important announcements.
Featuring revolutionary Auto-Pause technology, which pauses audio when the headphones are not worn, and a long-running rechargeable battery life of up to 15 hours, BNX-100XTs provides a continuous flow of your audio for an uninterrupted wireless listening experience, while the included 3.5mm audio cable ensures audio can carry on playing even longer.
The BNX-100XTs have been designed to provide optimum audio performance whilst in ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) mode, however they will continue to operate without ANC being active so that you continue to use the headphones even if the battery runs out.

Overview

Charging the Battery

1. You can charge BNX-100XTs using the supplied micro USB Type C cable in conjunction with an available USB port on your computer, TV or using a standard USB power supply.
2. Attach the USB Type C connector to the USB charging port (4) and the USB Type A connector to the corresponding port on your computer, TV or power supply.
3. The battery meter (3) will begin to flash to show that the BNX-100XTs are charging.
4. You can check the status of the battery using the battery meter (3), see below.

5. When all four LEDs are permanently illuminated charging has completed and you can disconnect the USB cable.

Notes on charging

1. When the BNX-100XTs battery power is less than 10% in wireless mode, the Bluetooth LED will blink red and the BNX-100XTs will also beep approximately every 5 minutes. If ANC is activated, the battery indicator will also blink blue once the battery is at less than 25% capacity.
2. If you are using a compatible mobile device, you can also see the status of the BNX-100XTs battery on your device.
3. Before using the BNX-100XTs for the first time, please ensure that the battery is fully charged.
4. Make sure that the BNX-100XTs are fully charged for at least 4 hours prior to initial use.
5. If the battery becomes low or completely flat, please use the supplied 3.5mm cable to create a wired passive connection. Please note ANC cannot be used when the battery is flat.
   Please Note: These headphones include a built-in Lithium Ion 600mAh battery, do not leave unattended whilst charging.

Operation

The BNX-100XTs can be used in a number of different configurations to suit your needs; Wired, Wireless, Noise Cancelling and Passive.
For optimum audio performance we recommend using the headphones with Noise Cancelling activated.

Noise Cancelling

1. Adjust the volume of the BNX-100XTs using the Volume Up (5) or Down (8) controls to ensure the volume is at the correct level and not too high.
2. Switch on the Noise Cancelling feature by sliding the On/Off Switch (1) to On. Inside the switch you will then see a green dot.
3. A quiet hissing sound may occur when ANC is activated. This is known as the “noise floor” of the electronics. This is perfectly normal and not a malfunction of the product. With no audio playback this may be audible, however once audio is played, this can rarely be heard.

Audio Pass-Through Mode

To activate Audio Pass-Through mode and allow for important background noise or voices to be heard, press the Audio Pass-Through mode button once. The mode is now active.
To exit this mode press the Audio Pass-Through mode button once again.
Please Note: This feature is only available when noise cancelling is enabled

Playback FAQ

If audio quality is poor or slow when streaming, or if streaming audio does not work at all, please ensure your audio device supports HSP/ HFP and A2DP
If audio can be heard but cannot be controlled (Play/Pause/Next Track/Previous Track), please ensure your source device supports AVRCP

Wireless Operation

Pairing

1. Switch on the Wireless function by pressing and holding the Multi-Function Button (7). If a not previously paired device is found within range, the BNX-100XTs will automatically go into pairing mode and the LED indicator will alternately flash blue and red.

2. Enable the Bluetooth function on your mobile phone or tablet.

3. Navigate to the Bluetooth menu of your device and scan/search for new devices.

4. When the BNX-100XTs are found, select and follow the on screen prompts. If you are prompted for a passkey or pin-code, please
   use 0000.

5. You will see a notification on your portable device confirming that pairing and connection is complete.

6. The battery meter (3) will begin to flash to show that the BNX-100XTs are charging.

7. You can check the status of the battery using the battery meter (3), see below.

Please note: If during wireless use you are suffering from a delay between video and audio playback, this will be due to the Bluetooth transmitter in your source device. To achieve a low latency, the source device’s transmitter must also support aptX Low Latency.

Re-pairing after connection

1. Enable the Bluetooth function on your device and ensure the BNX-100XTs are turned on.
2. If connection is not made automatically, go to the Bluetooth device list on your device and select BNX-100XT.
3. The device and BNX-100XTs will now be paired.

Disconnecting

1. To disconnect from the BNX-100XTs, press and hold the Multi-Function Button (7) until the LED Indicator is illuminated red.
2. Alternatively, to disconnect via the portable device, de-activate the Bluetooth function on your portable device.

Twin-Pairing Mode

The BNX-100XTs can be paired wirelessly with two separate Bluetooth devices simultaneously for uninterrupted audio switching or for taking calls on one device while another is used for music.

1. Following the Pairing process above, pair with the first device.

2. While the first device is connected, switch on the Wireless function again by pressing and holding the Multi-Function Button (7).
   While the LED blinks blue and red, connect the second device by selecting BNX- 100XT in your device’s Bluetooth list.

3. As this will automatically un-pair the first device, re-connect by manually selecting BNX-100XT in your source devices Bluetooth
   list. The headphones do not need to be in pairing mode.

4. Both devices will now be connected to the headphones simultaneously. If the first device’s audio is paused, the second device will continue playing audio. If taking a phone call on the first device, please pause the second device and the headphones will automatically connect to the first device.

Please note: If the audio quality is poor or a crackling noise can be heard, the Bluetooth connection is weak. Please ensure the device and BNX-100XTs are within range of each other with no major obstacles.

Wired Operation

The BNX-100XTs can also be connected with a wired connection using the 3.5mm audio cable included with the headphones. This will also prolong the battery life when using active noise cancelling. Please see the Technical Specifications section below for approximate battery life times.

Recycling Information

WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), Recycling of Electronic Products

Europe, United Kingdom

In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection and recycling of all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment. Instead, these products must enter the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any electrical or electronic products. More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency

Battery Remark:
Do not put empty batteries in your domestic waste bin as they will not be recycled. Empty batteries can be returned for recycling at our trade counter or at your local household recycling center.
The raw materials enclosed in batteries such as Zinc, Iron and Nickel can be reused to a very large proportion. The recycling of batteries and disused/obsolete electronic equipment is one of the most efficient environment protection actions you can easily take.
