(audio only). This cable is used to charge your HP70 headphones. For a complete listening experience on most devices not wirelessly supported, use the standard ribbon cable. Plug the straight end of the standard cable into the bottom of the right ear cup and the L-shaped end into the 1/8 (3.5mm) stereo socket on your music player. Each ear cup is marked with L and R to indicate the left and right sides of the headphones. A 1/4" (6.3mm) adaptor is also included for connecting to other audio equipment. NOTES Hold the plug at the end of the cable and pull to disconnect. Never pull on the headphone cable to disconnect the headphones from the music player. Turn the volume down to a comfortable listening level on your music player before putting on VISO HP70. 2 AIRLINE ADAPTOR Notes:
When connecting the USB cable to the charging port, be sure to match the cable connector with the shape of the socket. Forcing the connector into the socket will cause damage. A rating of the charging output should be DC 5V, 2.4A or less
-The usable time of the headphones differs depending on the temperature of the environment in which they are used and method or use. Wireless Pairing Pairing is the process required to create a link between Bluetooth devices to allow wireless connection. You must pair a device with the HP70 headphones to be able to make a BLUETOOTH connection for the first time. Before you start pairing operation, make sure that:
The Bluetooth device is placed within 1 m (3 feet) of the headset. The HP70 is charged sufficiently. 4. 5. To pair your device:
1. 2. 3. Turn on the Bluetooth feature on the source device. Open the Bluetooth settings on the source device. Press the pairing button for 3 seconds on the HP70. The LED will flash BLUE. Select the HP70 headphones from the device list. Once the HP70s link has been established with the source device, the LED will turn solid BLUE. If pairing fails, the LED will turn solid RED. 6. NFC Wireless Pairing HP70 supports Near Field Communication (NFC) so you can easily pair your headphones. For pairing follow the instructions below. Use the supplied dual 3.5mm airline adaptor to connect your VISO To pair your device using NFC:
HP70 to in-flight stereo entertainment systems. NOTES The supplied conversion plug may not be usable depending on the type of aircraft. Do not use these headphones when the use of electric devices on the aircraft is prohibited, or when the use of personal headphones to listen to on-board music service is prohibited. Audio output jack configurations may vary on airplanes. Airline audio quality may not equal that of your home audio equipment, or portable sources provide. NAD recommends not to use these headphones as aviation communication equipment. They are not engineered for many environmental conditions common in commercial or non-commercial aircraft (including, but not limited to: altitude, temperature, noise conditions, unpressurized aircraft) and could result in possible interference to critical communications. 1. 2. 3. Turn on NFC and Bluetooth on the device you are pairing. Place your Bluetooth enabled device against the bottom of the right ear cup. Accept the pairing on your device when prompted. Note: NFC is a short-range wireless communication. Pairing devices are required to be within a few centimetres of the headphones to communicate. If pairing is unsuccessful, refer to the devices manual to find its NFC touchpoint. Repeat the steps shown and ensure the located touchpoint is placed against the right ear cup as directed in Step 2. 4 ENGLISHPORTUGUSFRANAISESPAOLITALIANODEUTSCHNEDERLANDSSVENSKA USING THE NAD VISO HP70 HEADPHONES The ear cups are marked with L and R to indicate the left and right sides of the headphones. Be sure to put them on correctly to enjoy your audio as originally intended and maximize your personal music experience. Additional Controls Additional controls and connection points are on each earcup as follows:
Earphone Mounted Controls The main controls are located on the rear part of the right ear cup. They are used to control Volume, Noise Cancelling, and your smart device (tablet, iPod) as needed. Bottom Right Call Microphones for the phone Volume and Active Monitor Slide up towards the + sign to increase the volume. Slide down towards the sign to lower the volume. Press the button VOL/M to engage the Active Monitor and reduce your current audio track by 30dB. This will enable you to hear your surroundings, without leaving your personal space. The described function only works in Active Noise Cancelling mode. When activated, the surroundings will be amplified through the headphones. Active Noise Cancellation and Amplifier The power modes use the internal (rechargeable) battery. In Active Noise Cancelling mode, the "Noise Cancelling" feature has been activated with the internal headphone amplifier. The 3-position Power Switch will be GREEN. In Active mode, the internal headphone amplifier is active. The 3-position Power Switch will be BLUE. In Passive mode (OFF), noise cancelling and amplifier are turned off. No power is required as the headphones are powered by your audio source. Note: Bluetooth connection will not work in this mode.
