Operating the AR ARWH2 Mini-Bridge Headset

CONNECTING THE TRANSMITTER 

The ARWH2 requires no software to setup, so you can start using the unit right away.

1. Plug the transmitter USB plug into an available USB port on your computer.
2. Press the Power button on the receiver to turn it on. The indicator comes on and turns blue when the receiver and transmitter are linked.
   Note: The transmitter and receiver are pre-linked for communication at the factory, but if the indicator on the receiver flashes blue when you turn it on, the units may need to be linked. To link them, press and hold the receiver’s Power button and the transmitter’s LINK button for 3 seconds. The indicator turns solid blue when both units are linked.
3. Plug your headphones or the included earbuds into the headphone jack on the receiver.
4. Open your music or communication software on your computer, and your ARWH2 is now ready to use.
   Note: The headphone jack on the receiver uses a 3.5mm standard headphone plug, so if you want to use a headset or earpiece from your cell phone, you will need to use an adapter.
