3. Connecting your headphones
Your P5 Series 2 Headphones can be connected
to any audio device with a 3.5mm jack headphone
output. The remote and mic cable fitted to P5 Series
2 Headphones incorporates an iPhone
®, iPod
® and
iPad
® compatible microphone and audio control.
Its use is described in the following section of this
manual.
If using your P5 Series 2 Headphones with anything
other than an Apple
® device the remote and
mic cable functionality may vary. If perfomance
is affected the supplied universal cable can be
substituted. Detaching the remote and mic cable
and fitting the universal cable is described below and

earpad by gently pulling it away from the body of
the earpiece. Removing the left earpad reveals the

and lift upwards. The connection plug and socket
will raise up.
