• This guide

Long-term exposure to loud music

or noise may cause hearing damage.

It is best to avoid extreme volume

levels when using headphones,

especially for extended periods of

ime. Over time, your ears adapt to

the volume level, so, a volume level

that does not cause discomfort

might still damage your hearing.

You should use extreme caution

or temporarily discontinue use in

potentially hazardous situations,

such as walking, jogging, driving,

or cycling etc.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT USE THE HEADPHONES WHEN

THE USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES IS

PROHIBITED. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL AIRLINE

GUI

DELINES FOR USE OF ELECTRONIC

DEVICES.

Thank you for purchasing these

Ear Force

HPA2 amplified surround

sound headphones. Your new

headphones feature true 5.1 channel

surround sound and an integrated

amplifier which boosts PC sound

card signals to drive its discrete

front, center, rear and sub woofer

speakers - letting you hear every

movement in positional space.

Enjoy gaming, listening to music

and watching DVD movies with the

cush

ioned, comfortable ear cups

and the detachable microphone

for online chat or voice recognition.

Important Information

When turning on the master volume, slowly

increase the volume until you find a

comfortable listening level. There is a small

delay after powering on the amplifier.

When wearing the headphones, be sure to

properly place the front and rear speaker

positions or the surround sound will be

improperly reproduced. For proper orientation,

the ear cup with the cable and mic jack

should be placed over your l

eft ear.

Like any speakers, overdriving your

headphones may cause damage to both the

headphones and your ears. Please listen at

moderate volume levels.

You may need to experiment with

different settings in both your sound

card mixer and the physical volume

dials to find your preferred listening

levels.

When watching DVDs on your PC,

the DVD player software should be

set to play 5.1 audio in order to hea

surround sound. Refer to the DVD

software users guide for instructions

in how to access this setting.

Most sound cards allow setting

the output levels and speaker

configurations via software that

is accessed from the Windows

Control Panel. Please refer to your

sound card documentation for

instructions on setting up the

outputs for 5.1 audio to properly

drive the headphone speakers.

Also, note that s

ome sound cards

may have the bass and center

channels reversed, which will cause

an apparent decrease in bass

response. This can often be

corrected with a setting in the

sound card control software.
