How do I pair an NFC-compatible mobile device to my Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones

    What is required?

    • A Near Field Communication (NFC) compatible mobile device with Android™ 4.1 or higher
    • Your WF-1000X Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones and the supplied charging case

    Steps to pair the headphones using NFC

    1. Turn on the NFC function of your mobile device.
      • Check the manual of the mobile device for feature-specific information.
    2. Remove the left and right headphones from the charging case.
      • The blue indicators will blink twice to signal that they are charged and turned on.
      • If the headphones are off, press the left and right buttons to turn them on.

      • Take note of the volume settings if the wireless headphones are in your ears.
      • The mobile device screen should be unlocked.
      • If the mobile device is in a protective case and you are unable to make a connection, remove the protective case.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing.
      • The indicators will blink slowly to indicate that the headphones are paired.
      • You'll hear Bluetooth Connected when the pairing is completed.

    Note:

    If your NFC-compatible mobile device gets in contact with the bottom of the charging case, the current Bluetooth® connection will be terminated and the smartphone will connect to the headphones. This feature is called One-Touch Connection Switching.
