disposable AAA alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
1. Move power switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Turn control box over to access battery compartment.

the cover.
4. Insert AAA battery, observing correct polarity as marked.
5. Close battery compartment cover.
Selecting your replaceable rubber
tips and checking fit of the headphones
The Medium sized rubber tips are attached to the headphones at shipment.
If these do not fit your ears, replace them with the Small or the Large rubber
tips. It is important to have the correct and comfortable fit; an incorrect fit
will degrade both the noise-cancelling and audio function of your headphones.
Using your headphones
1. Connect the headphone cable to the extension cable if needed, making
certain the plug is firmly seated.
2. Connect the headphone cable (or extension cable) to the headphone
jack of your audio device.
• Use 3.5 mm (
1
/
") stereo mini plug to connect to MP3, CD player, DVD
8
player, computer, and other audio devices equipped with a 3.5 mm
output jack.
• Use included airline adapter to connect to typical airline audio systems.
Note: The headphones cannot be used with devices equipped with
2.5 mm or
1
/
" headphone jacks without purchase of an adapter. Please
4
purchase an optional mono/stereo adapter for use with a mono device.
(Without use of an adapter, the right channel is muted when headphones
are connected to a mono device.)
3. Wear the left headphone (marked L) in your left ear; and the right
headphone (marked R) in your right ear.
Note: the L and R designations are at the base of the cable strain relief
near where the cable exits the headphone. Insert the rubber tip on the
headphone into your ear so it fits snugly and comfortably. If fit is not
correct, please see Selecting your replaceable rubber tips, page 6. Do
not push beyond the ear canal opening.
4. To activate noise-cancelling function, move the power switch on your
control box to the "ON" position; power indicator should light (red).
Note: The red power LED is extinguished when the monitor button is
pressed. (If you do not wish to use the active noise-cancelling function,
move power switch to the "OFF" postion.)
5. Turn on your audio device. (Volume should be set at a low level at first;
adjust as necessary on audio device.) If the noise-cancelling function
and/or low frequency response seems to be missing, check to make
certain the headphones fit correctly and that there is a good seal
between the ear canal and the rubber tip on your headphone; see
Selecting your replaceable rubber tips, page 6.
For noise-cancelling only
1. To activate noise-cancelling function, move the power switch on your
control box to the "ON" position; power indicator should light (red). In
this case, there is no need to connect the headphone cable to an audio
device; simply turn the headphones on and wear them.
After using
• After you have finished using your headphones, be certain to move the
power switch to the "OFF" position.
• Remove battery when you will not be using the headphones for an
extended period.
• Store the headphones and accessories in the included protective
carrying case.
• To clean the headphones, wipe the earpiece and control pack with a
clean, soft cloth. Do not use solvents.
• For periodic cleaning of rubber tips, remove from headphones and wash
rubber tips with warm water. Make certain rubber tips are completely
dry before reinstalling on headphones. Check for any obstructions in the
rubber tip.
• Rubber tips will wear over time. Replacement rubber tips are available
from Audio-Technica dealers.
