The Philips SHQ7800 are Bluetooth in-ear headphones designed for wireless audio and call management, offering a convenient and active lifestyle experience. These headphones allow users to enjoy music and handle phone calls without the constraints of cables, making them suitable for various activities, including sports and daily commutes.
Function Description
The primary function of the Philips SHQ7800 headphones is to provide wireless audio playback and hands-free call management via Bluetooth connectivity. They are equipped with a microphone for clear communication during calls and integrated controls for managing both music and calls directly from the headset. The headphones are designed to be worn in-ear, providing a secure fit, especially during physical activity. The ear caps are replaceable, allowing users to customize the fit for comfort and stability.
Usage Features
The headphones offer a range of features aimed at enhancing the user experience:
- Wireless Connectivity: Utilizing Bluetooth technology, the SHQ7800 pairs with mobile phones, notebooks, PDAs, Bluetooth adapters, and MP3 players, enabling wireless audio streaming and call handling. This eliminates the need for a physical connection to the audio source, providing freedom of movement.
- Music Control: Users can control their music playback directly from the headphones. This includes playing or pausing music, adjusting the volume, and skipping tracks forward or backward. The intuitive control buttons make it easy to manage audio without needing to access the paired device.
- Call Management: The headphones facilitate hands-free calling. Users can pick up or hang up calls, reject incoming calls, and even switch between callers during a call. There's also a mute/unmute function for the microphone, offering privacy during conversations. An audible beep confirms successful call actions.
- Pairing and Reconnection: The headphones are designed for straightforward pairing with mobile devices. Once paired, they automatically attempt to reconnect to the last connected device when powered on. If the last device is unavailable, they will try to connect to the second-to-last connected device, streamlining the connection process. The headphones can store up to four paired devices in their memory.
- LED Indicators: An LED indicator provides visual feedback on the headphones' status. It flashes blue when connected to a Bluetooth device in standby or during music playback, and flashes blue and white alternately when ready for pairing. Quick blue flashes indicate that the headphones are on but not connected to a Bluetooth device, and white flashes signal a low battery level.
- Comfort and Fit: The in-ear design, combined with replaceable rubber ear caps, allows users to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. This is particularly beneficial for active users who need their headphones to stay in place during movement.
- Automatic Power Off: To conserve battery life, the headphones will automatically switch off if they fail to connect to any Bluetooth device within range for five minutes.
- Digital Echo & Noise Reduction: These features contribute to clearer audio quality during calls by minimizing background noise and echo, enhancing the communication experience.
Maintenance Features
Proper care and maintenance can extend the life and performance of the Philips SHQ7800 headphones:
- Charging: The headphones are charged via a micro USB charging slot using the supplied USB charging cable. It is recommended to use only the original USB cable to prevent damage. The LED indicator turns white during charging and turns off when the battery is fully charged. For optimal battery capacity and lifetime, it is advised to fully charge the headphones for five hours before their first use.
- Cleaning: For cleaning, a soft cloth, dampened with a minimum amount of water or diluted mild soap, is recommended. Abrasive cleaning agents, alcohol, ammonia, or benzene should not be used as they can damage the product.
- Battery Care: The integrated lithium polymer battery should not be exposed to excessive heat, such as direct sunshine or fire, to prevent damage or explosion. If the battery needs replacement, it should only be replaced with the same or equivalent type.
- Environmental Considerations: The headphones should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water, nor should they be submerged in water. This helps protect the internal components from moisture damage.
- Storage: When not in use, the headphones should be stored in a place where the temperature is within the recommended operating range to maintain battery life and overall performance. Extreme temperatures (both high and low) can shorten battery life.
- Disposal: The product is designed with high-quality materials that can be recycled and reused. For disposal or recycling information, users should contact local authorities or visit the Philips recycling website. The non-removable battery should not be incinerated as it may explode if overheated. If a collection/recycling system for electronic products is not available, users can remove and recycle the battery separately before disposing of the headset to protect the environment.
