At the critical charge level, the unit will play a tone and the lighting will turn off. Use a USB charging cable to plug in the headset immediately if you hear these tones to ensure uninterrupted listening or gaming.
Idle sleep mode
G933 Artemis Spectrum will go into sleep mode to conserve battery power when it has not received an audio signal in 5 minutes. In idle sleep mode, the unit’s lighting will turn off, and it will disconnect from the USB wireless mix adapter. To wake up your headset from sleep mode, press any button on the unit.
