Setup steps:
*** NOTE: If the headset shutting off randomly try using the charging cable as the power cable and see if that resolves the issue. Cable 1 and 2 are the same cable just different lengths. The shortest one (number 1) is the power cable. The longest one (number 2) is the charging cable for the headset. Cable 3 is the Xbox live chat cable (this cable is only needed for xbox). Cable 4 is the piggyback RCA cable.
- Make sure the Transmitter and headset are powered on.
- Press and hold the power buttons on both the transmitter and headset for 2 seconds until the LEDs begin to flash white.
- Once pairing is complete the power LEDs will stop flashing and turn solid white.
- A solid amber light on the headset means the headset is either fully charged or is powered via USB

- A solid blinking amber light on the headset means the headset is charging.
