Using the Transmitter, Pairing the Headset and Transmitter - digital headset

Page 4 highlights

Using the Transmitter Transmitter Range The transmitter sends game audio from your Xbox 360 to the headset via digital radio frequency (RF) signal, so a direct line of sight is not required. When you're out of range, you may hear popping or clicking sounds if the headset loses the RF signal. For best performance, place the transmitter in an open area that is unobstructed by objects that might absorb RF signals from the internal antenna. Avoid placing it on a metal surface, such as the top of a home theater A/V receiver. R Optimum range: within 20 ft. Dual-Band WiFi The X32 uses advanced "Dual-Band WiFi" radio technology to help eliminate interference with additional wireless devices and WiFi networks. The dual-band radio uses both 5GHz and 2.4GHz signals to transmit high fidelity digital audio and help eliminate interference with other wireless devices. Unlike the RF technology used in most other wireless headsets, this dual-band WiFi radio technology coexists with wireless networks for optimum performance. 5 GHz WiFi dual band wireless TONE TONE Pairing the Headset 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 when the headset is out of range or not paired with the transmitter. If the LED is slowly pulsing when the headset is on and within range, then they might need to be "paired" as described below: R Step 1: Make sure the headset is turned off. Step 2: Press and hold the headset power button for about 6 seconds until you hear 2 fast beeps and the LED begins to flash rapidly, then release. Step 3: Press and hold the PAIR button on the transmitter. The transmitter LED will beging to flash rapidly. When the Power/Link LED on the transmitter turns off, release the button. After a few seconds, the Power/Link LED on the transmitter should be on solid and the headset LED should be flashing about once per second, indicating that the units are paired. 2 1 3 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! 3 4
