advised to partially discharge the unit and store in a cool place. Never  
leave your headphones in a hot environment, especially exposed to the  
sun.

Using the Optional Audio Cable  
The headset has an auxiliary input located on the left ear cup. The auxiliary input can be used  
to listen to music from most devices with a 3.5mm audio output. This allows the headphones to  
work with devices without Bluetooth technology, if the headphone battery is not charged, or if  
wireless connectivity is not available.  
The headphones do not need to be powered on when using the auxiliary input. Simply plug the  
cable into the 3.5mm input and your respective audio device.  
Note: When the AUX cable is inserted, the Bluetooth function and the built-in microphone will  
be disabled.
