CLEANING YOUR MAJOR V
Headphones come in close contact with your skin frequently and sometimes for
long periods of time. This may over time cause build-up of dirt and grease
that can affect performance and cause skin irritation. Clean your headphones
regularly to keep them fresh and make them last longer. Unplug any cables
before cleaning the headphones. Make sure everything is completely dry before
charging the batteries, plugging in any cables or using the headphones.
Remove the ear cushions by turning them anticlockwise and clean them separately. To put back the ear cushions, place them on the ear cups, tilted at a 45° angle, and turn them clockwise to lock them in place. Gently clean the headphones, headband, ear cushions and cables with a lintfree cloth, slightly damp with either:
- water,
- 70% isopropyl alcohol, or
- 75% ethyl alcohol
Avoid getting moisture in any openings or in the speaker mesh. Carefully clean those areas with a dry and soft brush, or a cotton swab.
- Do not use any sharp objects.
- Do not use compressed air.
- Do not use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
- Do not submerge the headphones in any cleaning agents.
- Do not rinse the headphones under running water.
Connecting Headphones to Another Device
Allow a friend to connect their headphones to yours via the 3.5mm AUX port.
- Ensure your device is connected to the source via Bluetooth.
- Connect the other headphones to your device’s AUX port.
Cleaning Your Headphones
Regularly clean your headphones to maintain performance and hygiene.
- Disconnect all cables before cleaning.
- Ensure headphones are completely dry before use or charging.
BATTERY CARE GUIDE
Your headphones come equipped with high-performance lithium-ion batteries with
a life span that is affected by charging and usage. Follow the guidelines
below to keep your batteries in great condition for as long possible.
- Avoid using fast chargers if possible. Fast charging causes stress on the battery and will degrade it.
- Avoid letting the battery drain completely or charging it when it’s already full. Try to keep the charge between 30% and 80%.
- If the headphones are stored for a long time, it’s recommended to charge them to about half-charge and then do a factory reset. Store the headphones in a cool, dark, and dry place.
- Avoid using or charging the headphones in hot and unventilated places, 45°C/113°F and above.
- Avoid charging the battery at low temperatures, below 10°C/50°F and using the headphones below 0°C/32°F.
- Avoid strong mechanical shocks such as dropping the headphones on hard surfaces as it might harm the batteries.
Download the Marshall Bluetooth app and select the battery preservation level that best suits you and your headphones.
