Pairing the XP500 and Transmitter The headset and transmitter in this package are "paired", which means they're synchronized to ensure they work together. When the headset and transmitter are communicating, the top LED on the front panel of the transmitter will be on solid. If this LED is instead slowly pulsing, it means the transmitter can't communicate with the headset. This could happen if the headset is turned off or out of range. If the LED is slowly pulsing when the headset is on and within range, then they might need to be "paired" as described below: Step 1: Make sure the headset is off by pressing the "Power" button until the LED turns solid, and then release it when the LED turns off. Step 2: Then press and hold the headset power button until the LED turns solid and release when the LED begins to flash rapidly. A voice prompt will announce "pairing headset." Step 3: Press and hold the transmitter "Bypass" button for 5 seconds until the topmost LED on the transmitter turns off, then release the button. The transmitter LED will then flash rapidly and a voice prompt will announce "headest paired." 1 3 2 After a few seconds, the topmost transmitter LED should be on solid and the headset LED should be flashing about once per second, indicating that the units are paired. Interference from Two Headsets Only one headset can be paired with the transmitter. If you pair two headsets with the same transmitter, they'll interfere with each other as they compete for the transmitter RF signal. This will cause one headset to shut off. So don't try to pair two headsets with the same transmitter! Setup Xbox 360® (Slim), PS3TM 1.

Interference from Two Headsets
Only one headset can be paired with the transmitter. If you pair two headsets with the same transmitter, they’ll interfere with each other as
they compete for the transmitter RF signal. This will cause one headset to shut off. So don’t try to pair two headsets with the same transmitter!
