More Functions

Active Noise Cancellation

The ClearDryve® signal processing removes more than 90% of noise reaching the microphone so those on the other end of the call hear you — not the background. This digital noise suppression is always active. In addition, your ClearDryve® features Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which eliminates the need to “crank up the volume” by canceling out ambient noise reaching your ear. The result is a crystal-clear listening experience for you as well.

To turn ANC on or off:

  1. Push the ANC button to turn it on or off.
  2. When ANC is enabled, a blue light indicator next to the button will turn on.
  3. When ANC is disabled, a blue light indicator next to the button will turn off.

Note: ANC can be turned on for use in either Bluetooth® (wireless) or wired mode. When the headphone is not in use, remember to turn off ANC to conserve battery power.

EQ presetYour ClearDryve allows you to pick from 5 preset equalizer (EQ) settings. This allows you to pick the ideal settings for the specific type of music you are listening to. EQ preset selections are only available when ANC is turned off.*When you first turn on power to your ClearDryve, the first equalizer setting (EQ1) is active by default.You can select a different EQ setting during music playback.**

  • As you listen to music on ClearDryve, press and hold the MFB
  • Quickly (within 2 seconds) tap on the Vol + button.
  • Each tap on the Vol + button causes the next EQ setting to become active.
  • Once you’ve found the best EQ setting, release the MFB.

* Note: When ANC is turned on, the headphone defaults to the first equalizer setting (EQ1).You can only select one of the other preset equalizer settings if you turn ANC off.** Note: EQ preset functionality is only applicable during music playback. It is not applicable and does not impact voice quality during hands-free phone calls.

Add/Remove the Detachable Stereo Earpiece

ClearDryve® can convert from mono (one earpiece plus headpad) to stereo (two earpieces). The detachable earpiece can be replaced with the headpad for mono configuration.

To remove the earpiece or the headpad:

  1. Hold the black earpiece release tab.
  2. Slide the earpiece off.

To attach the earpiece or the headpad:

  1. Slide the earpiece/headpad onto the ClearDryve® head band.
  2. The earpiece will click when connected.
Reset to Factory Settings

You may need to restore ClearDryve® back to its factory state, typically when switching over to newer model smartphones / laptops for daily use. Clearing the “pairing history” on your headphones can help improve connection times between your headphones and new devices.

To reset ClearDryve®:

  1. Make sure ClearDryve® is powered off. Now press and hold MFB to place it in pairing mode.
  2. Press and hold Vol – and MFB at the same time until you hear 2 beeps.

Your ClearDryve’s pairing history is now cleared and it is in pairing mode. You can turn off the headphones or proceed to pair it with your device(s).

Note: The next time you turn on the device, it will automatically be in pairing mode.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Issue:

Possible Causes:
My headphones need to be charged very frequently. ANC may be turned ON, even when you are not using the headphones. Be sure to turn off ANC when the product is not in use, to maximize how long your headphone can be used between charges.
Can I connect more than one device to my headphones. Yes, your headphones can be simultaneously connected to more than one device. To add new connections after connecting to the first device, turn off the headphones, then press and hold the MFB. The headphones will enter pairing mode. Follow the steps for your unique device (smartphone, laptop, tablet) to connect to the headphones.
I am confident batteries are fully charged, yet they do not seem to work. In the rare event that your headphones “locks up,” it can be “rebooted” by simply plugging in a micro-USB cable into the charging port of your ClearDryve. The other end of the cable should be plugged into to a USB power source. ClearDryve will turn off and start charging. Let it charge for around 15 minutes, unplug and turn it on to resume operation.
I am unable to change my equalizer settings for my headphones. Selection from 5 EQ (preset equalizer) settings is only available with ANC turned off. When ANC is on, the headphones operate with EQ1 active. To select a different EQ value, turn ANC off, then follow the instructions listed in the section entitled “EQ presets”.
