Pairing Setup - How Do I 'Pair' My Wireless Headset to Its Transmitter?

In order to play audio, a wireless headset must be "paired" (linked) to its transmitter. The headset and transmitter are paired out of the box. The instructions below are only necessary if pairing appears to have been lost.

When the headset and transmitter are paired, the transmitter's Power LED (either on the very top or the far right) will be on solid. If this LED is "pulsing" slowly (slowly fading on and off), it means the transmitter has lost pairing with the headset. This can happen if the headset is turned off for a long time or is out of range.

2)  Unplug the transmitter's USB power cable to power it down. Wait 3 seconds and then plug the power cable back in. The transmitter's Power/Link LED should now be slowly pulsing on and off.

3)  Hold down the transmitter's PAIR button for about 5 seconds. Release the PAIR button when the transmitter's Power/Link LED begins to flash rapidly (twice per second). It should now be blinking quickly and steadily 2 times per second. If it is blinking much more than 2 times per second, the button was held for much too long (15+ seconds), and you must start over from Step 2.

5)  Wait about 10 to 15 seconds. The transmitter's Power/Link LED should be on solid, and the headset's Power LED should now be flashing steadily once per second. This means the headset is now paired to the transmitter and is ready to play game audio.

The transmitter has three different "flashing" patterns. It can be "Pulsing" on and off, which indicates that it is not paired. If you hold the PAIR button for 5-6 seconds, it will start blinking 2 times a second at an even rate. This is pairing mode.

If you hold the button upwards of 15 seconds, it will start blinking extremely quickly and the transmitter will leave pairing mode. Unplug the transmitter if it's gone this far to "reset" its mode.

The headset plays several different alerts. It will beep twice with a series of ascending tones when it first turns on, then there will be a "heartbeat" flash (two short flashes then a pause). Keep holding the power button when the headset powers on and you will hear two identical tones (high high), then the power LED will start flashing on and off 2 times per second. This means the headset is in pairing mode. The headset's pairing mode blink is about the same rate as the transmitter's pairing mode blink.

When the headset powers off, it plays two descending tones (high low).
