CONNECTING HEADPHONES TO YOUR MAJOR V
Let a friend connect their headphones to the 3.5 mm AUX port on your
Major V and listen together.
I. Ensure that Major V is connected to your sound source via Bluetooth.
II. Connect the 3.5 mm jack of the other headphones to the 3.5 mm AUX
port on Major V.
CLEANING YOUR MAJOR V
Headphones come in close contact with your skin frequently and sometimes
for long periods of time. This may over time cause build-up of dirt and grease
that can affect performance and cause skin irritation. Clean your headphones
regularly to keep them fresh and make them last longer.
Unplug any cables before cleaning the headphones. Make sure everything is
completely dry before charging the batteries, plugging in any cables or using
the headphones.
Remove the ear cushions by turning them anticlockwise and clean them
separately. To put back the ear cushions, place them on the ear cups, tilted at
a 45° angle, and turn them clockwise to lock them in place.
Gently clean the headphones, headband, ear cushions and cables with a lintfree cloth, slightly damp with either:
• water,
• 70% isopropyl alcohol, or
• 75% ethyl alcohol
Avoid getting moisture in any openings or in the speaker mesh. Carefully
clean those areas with a dry and soft brush, or a cotton swab.
• Do not use any sharp objects.
• Do not use compressed air.
• Do not use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
• Do not submerge the headphones in any cleaning agents.
• Do not rinse the headphones under running water.

BATTERY CARE GUIDE
Your headphones come equipped with high-performance lithium-ion batteries
with a life span that is affected by charging and usage. Follow the guidelines
below to keep your batteries in great condition for as long possible.
• Avoid using fast chargers if possible. Fast charging causes stress on the
battery and will degrade it.
• Avoid letting the battery drain completely or charging it when it’s already
full. Try to keep the charge between 30% and 80%.
• If the headphones are stored for a long time, it’s recommended to
charge them to about half-charge and then do a factory reset. Store the
headphones in a cool, dark, and dry place.
• Avoid using or charging the headphones in hot and unventilated places,
45°C/113°F and above.
• Avoid charging the battery at low temperatures, below 10°C/50°F and
using the headphones below 0°C/32°F.
• Avoid strong mechanical shocks such as dropping the headphones on
hard surfaces as it might harm the batteries.
Download the Marshall Bluetooth app and select the battery preservation
level that best suits you and your headphones.
PAIRING A NEW DEVICE
Major V can be connected with two devices at a time and remembers up to
10 previously paired devices. When in range, they will try to reconnect with
the last connected device.
I. Start with the headphones turned on.
II. Double press the Control knob and the LED turns to a slow blue pulse.
