Two AAA batteries power the Sound Clarity ANC. Batteries are located behind the
battery cap on the front of the left (L) ear cup. Identify the down arrow (picture) before
attempting to open battery cap. Do not attempt to open the right-side ear cup. To install
the batteries, remove the battery cap by pressing down lightly with both thumbs on the
battery cap, and then, gently slide the removable lid in the direction of the arrow. Insert
two (2) AAA batteries in accordance with the polarity symbol (+) or (-) marked in the
battery compartment. Replace the lid with the down arrow on the bottom of the ear cup.
Simultaneously press down lightly and slide the battery cap upwards to lock in place.
Although it varies by usage, battery life averages 35 hours. With the headphones’s
ANC turned on, the LED indicator will dim when approximately 30 minutes of battery
