Attaching the battery cradle and charging the battery
The battery cradle has a battery pack that can supply power to the headset.
Tip: To avoid damaging the headset and battery cradle when attaching or detaching components, assemble the battery cradle on a level surface such as a desk or table.
Here's how to attach the battery cradle to the headset:
-
Set the battery cradle down with the USB port facing up.
-
Press the release button on the inside of each temple to remove the temples from the headset.
-
Attach the battery cradle to the headset using the temple slots.
Make sure the release buttons are aligned and the fasteners are fully inserted into the temple slots.
-
Connect the battery cradle's extended USB cable to the headset’s extended USB port.
To charge the battery pack, connect a power adapter to the battery cradle's USB Type-C® port using a USB cable, and then connect the power adapter to a power outlet.
The power LED on the battery cradle will show the charging status. For details, see Battery cradle LED.
Tip: The battery pack can be charged without attaching the battery cradle to the headset.
