Troubleshooting

My mic doesn’t work (other players can’t hear me).

- Connect the USB plug from the X12 to a USB port on your console.

- Make sure the X12 amp box LED is lit *green*. If it’s lit red, set the Mute switch to “On” to make the LED green.

- Put on the headset and speak into the mic.

- You should hear your own voice in the headset. If not, then please contact tech support.

I don’t hear game audio in either/both speakers.

To test the speakers:

- Connect the X12’s USB plug to a USB port on your game console or a PC.

- Connect the X12’s green plug to a portable music player and play an music track.

- If you cannot hear audio on one side or both sides, then please contact tech support.

- If you can hear audio clearly on both sides during this test, then your headset is functioning properly. The issue would then

be with the RCA Splitter Cable, your Xbox 360 AV cable, or the audio jacks on your TV.

I can’t hear other players on Xbox LIVE.

- Check that the Talkback Cable is connected securely to your Xbox 360 controller and to your headset’s in-line ampliﬁer.

- Make sure your Xbox 360’s Voice settings are conﬁgured properly; see page 10.

- Try using a different Xbox 360 controller. (A worn-out controller jack can cause chat connection problems.)

- If the problem persists, then please contact tech support.

Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc. (“VTB”) warrants to the original end-user purchaser (“Purchaser”) that the retail Turtle Beach hardware product herein

(“Product”) will be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase by the Purchaser (“Warranty

Period”). Any Extended Warranty or Service Plans purchased through a Retail store are not honored by VTB. The Warranty refers to the repair/replace-

ment of a defective product during this period and not a refund.

This limited warranty is extended only to the original Purchaser of a new product, which was not sold “AS IS”. It is not transferable or assignable to any

subsequent purchaser. This limited warranty is applicable only in the country or territory where the Product was purchased from an authorized VTB

retailer and does not apply to a Product that has been purchased as used or refurbished or was included as part of a non-VTB product.

WARRANTY SERVICE:

In the USA and CANADA Warranty Service is provided by our Turtle Beach USA ofﬁces and in all other Countries it is provided by our local International

Distributors when available. Refurbished/Recertiﬁed products are sold on an AS IS basis with a 90-day Warranty or less in accordance with each ven-

dor’s policy.

VTB does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Product and is under no obligation to support the Product for all computer operating

systems or future versions of such operating systems.

If a defect should occur during the Warranty Period, Purchaser must contact VTB to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”) number on the

basis of the dated purchase receipt. Purchaser will be responsible for shipping costs incurred in returning the defective Product to an authorized VTB

service center, or to the repair facility located at VTB’s corporate headquarters. VTB will not be responsible for other products or accessories included

with the defective Product sent to VTB. The RMA number must be clearly indicated on the outside of the package. Packages without an RMA number

will be refused by VTB or its representatives and returned to sender at the sender’s expense.

In the event of a defect, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, and VTB’s sole liability, is expressly limited to the correction of the defect by adjust-

ment, repair, or replacement of the Product at VTB’s sole option and expense. VTB owns all Products it has replaced and all parts removed from

repaired Products. VTB uses new and reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and building replacement

products. If VTB repairs or replaces a product, the original Warranty Period is not extended, however, VTB warrants that repaired or replacement parts

will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of repair or replacement, or for the remainder of

the Warranty Period, whichever is greater.

This warranty does not apply to any Product that has had its serial number altered, removed or defaced, or any Product damage caused by shipping,

improper storage, accident, problems with electrical power, abuse, misuse, neglect, ordinary wear, acts of God (e.g. ﬂood), failure to follow directions,

improper maintenance, use not in accordance with product instructions, unauthorized modiﬁcation or service of the Product or damage resulting from

the use of the Product with hardware, software or other products not provided by or speciﬁcally recommended by VTB.

NOTES:

- Replacement Parts and accessories that are subject to “wear and tear” such as earpads, mic foam covers, talkback cables, etc. have a three (3)

month Warranty.

- Replacement Parts for Discontinued Products are sold on an AS IS basis, they are not supported and come with a 30 day Warranty.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE

EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VTB HEREBY DISCLAIMS THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS

FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE FOR THE PRODUCT. IF SUCH A DISCLAIMER IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY IS

LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE FOREGOING LIMITED WRITTEN WARRANTY.

IN NO EVENT SHALL VTB BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT

NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR LOSS OF USE, ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, AND ANY INJURY TO PROPERTY OR BODILY INJURY (INCLUD-

ING DEATH) TO ANY PERSON, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT OR ARISING FROM BREACH OF THE WARRANTY, BREACH OF

CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF VTB HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

This warranty supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, oral or written, relating to the Product, and no representation, promise or condi-

tion not contained herein will modify these terms. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the

above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you speciﬁc legal rights. You may also have other rights, which vary from state

to state. Any action or lawsuit for breach of warranty must be commenced within eighteen (18) months following the purchase of the Product.
