Use Responsibly
Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so—while operating a vehicle, riding a bike, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.
It‘s dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens.
Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving.
Use one of Monster’s FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices through your car stereo instead.
Cleaning
Wipe earcups with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution.
Using Finger Tip Controls
The surface of the right ear cup is a touch sensitive control surface. The center section (the logo) serves as a play/pause control. Tap once for play/pause also for answer/end.
Swipe motion on the touch pad works as a volume control. Swipe up for more volume, swipe down for less volume. Tap action anywhere on the touch pad works as track forward/track back control. Tap two times for the next track. Tap three times for the previous track.
Key Features and Parts
The headset contains the following parts:
Power/Charging
Before using the headset wirelessly, you need to charge the battery and pair the headset with a compatible device.
The package includes a Micro USB cable that can be connected to your computer or other device made for USB charging. You can use a standard USB compatible charging device that plugs directly into a wall socket, or you can plug the USB cable directly into a laptop or PC. Plug the Micro USB end of the included USB cable into the USB micro port charger connector under the right earcup of the headphone. Plug the other end into a USB port on your computer or other devices made for USB charging. The indicator light will be red while charging. Once fully charged, the LED will be off. Charge time is 2 hours on an empty battery. The fully charged battery has power for up to 20 hours talking and/or music time. In this mode you can listen to your headphones via Bluetooth wireless communication or through the 3.5mm audio in.

GUIDE TO INDICATOR LIGHTS
Headphones “Break-in”
Break-in time for headphones? We’re kidding, right? No we’re not. Like any high performance product, whether it’s cars or headphones, they’re mechanical devices that settle in after use. Your new headphones will sound incredible out of the box, but will “mellow” out after use and sound even better. We recommend playing them for 8 hours. After 20 hours of playing, they should be fully broken in. Enjoy.
Battery
If applicable, battery must be recycled or disposed of properly.
