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.

Range up to 30 ft.

Dual-Band WiFi

The X42 uses advanced “Dual-Band WiFi” radio technology to help eliminate interference with additional wireless devices and WiFi

networks. The Dual-Band radio uses either 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz 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.

PAIR

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 POWER LED on the front panel of the transmitter will be on solid. If this LED is instead

pulsing slowly, 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 pulsing slowly when the headset is on and within range, then they might need to be “paired”

as described below.

The headset and transmitter are paired out of the box, so the following instructions are necessary only if pairing appears to have been lost.

EFFECTS

2 feet

Maintain a distance of at least

2 feet between the headset and

transmitter when pairing.

1. Make sure the headset and transmitter are turned off and

they are at least 2 feet away from each other.

2. Power on the transmitter by connecting it to a free USB

port on your gaming console. Then press and hold the

PAIR button on the transmitter for about 5 seconds.

Release the PAIR button when the transmitter’s Power/

Link LED begins to ﬂash rapidly (twice per second). NOTE:

If you hold the transmitter’s PAIR button for too long (over

20 seconds), the light will blink extremely quickly, and you

will need to start over from step 1.

3. Press and hold the headset Power button for about 6

seconds until you hear the second double beep, then

release the Power button. At this point, the headset LED

will ﬂash rapidly (twice per second).

4. Wait for the headset and transmitter to pair. This process

could take up to 30 seconds.

If pairing is successful, 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.

If pairing fails, repeat steps 1-4. It may take up to 5 attempts

to pair successfully.

NOTE: 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!

Chat Boost is a dynamic talkback expander built into the X42 headset that automatically increases chat volume during loud

moments in your game, so you can always hear your teammates or other players, regardless of the game volume.

Typically, if you turn up a headset’s game volume, the incoming chat level from other players could become difﬁcult to hear

over the game sound. However, with Chat Boost, as the game audio increases, the chat volume also increases. When the game

volume quiets down again, Chat Boost automatically returns the chat level to your original volume setting.

To properly set the Chat Boost function:

1. Turn down the volume control on the headset so there’s no game audio.

2. Adjust the volume control on the Talkback Cable so you can hear the chat voices at a comfortable level.

3. Turn up the headset game volume and the chat volume will increase whenever the game gets louder, just as if the talkback

volume control is being automatically turned up along with the game level. Note that if the volume on the Talkback Cable

is set too loud, Chat Boost might increase the volume so much that the voices will distort. If that happens, turn down the

talkback volume on the Talkback Cable.

X42 Headset Technical Speciﬁcations

Troubleshooting

Safety Notice

No sound

• Check that the headset volume control is turned up.

• Check that the transmitter power and optical cables are properly connected.

• Check that the headset is powered on. The LED on the left ear cup should be ashing.

• Check if the Power LED on the transmitter is on solid. If the LED is slowly pulsing, it indicates that the transmitter isn’t

communicating with the headset. If the headset is on solid and the transmitter LED is slowly pulsing, then the headset and

transmitter need to be “paired” as described in the section “Pairing the Headset and Transmitter” (see pg 4).

Audio Drops, Popping or Clicking Sounds

Audio dropouts, popping or clicking sounds on the headset are caused by poor reception. This can occur when:

• The headset and transmitter are out of range. For best performance, move within 20 feet from the transmitter.

• There’s a wall or other large object between the headset and transmitter.

• The transmitter is in a bad location that is interfering with the antenna.

• A wireless base station or wireless LAN are causing a lot of RF activity that’s blocking the RF signal from the transmitter. The

transmitter should be moved at least 5 feet away from a wireless router or gaming console.

Voice Chat Drops

• Most in-game voice chat drops are simply caused by network performance or “lag”. Usually they subside after a few moments so

please be patient. In extreme cases, you may have to leave a game and return to reset the chat function.

• If you use a wireless internet connection, low signal strength from your modem/router can make the voice chat malfunction.

A wired connection from your modem/router to your console is recommended for best results.

To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it.

WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so it is important

to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may not cause initial discomfort can

still damage your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears after listening with the headset, it means the volume is set too loud.

The louder the volume is set, the less time it takes to affect your hearing. So, please take care to listen at moderate levels.

• Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely, then slowly increase it to a comfortable level.

• Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
