How do I turn them on? Do I need to buy a separate battery?

there are two ways to do it, 1 hook it directly to the battery with a on and off switch or you can hook them up to your head light or tail light and when you cut the bike on it will come on. you have to be really careful when shaping or bending the wires, they break easly

Hi there is no need to use a separate battery. it is a very low power consumption device.

get the ground from any near ground cable of your car or to the chasis...the voltage wires connect them to a 12v switch and the switch to a voltage cable that goas to the batery(i took it from the emergency lights vcable)..that way you'll be able to turnthem on/off when ever you want(using the 12v switch)

Don't bother. The batteries last a week. Maybe. Without ever turning them on. Have tried several batteries and even exchanging. I would turn them on once for 5 minutes, turn it off. Come back a few days later and they don't turn on and need new batteries.

The ones I ordered are battery only with no way to plug it in from what I can tell.

Wire them directly from the battery with a 2 way switch. They are very low amperage so a relay is not necessary.

They run on batteries. I had have them for more than 6 months and still on the original batteries

You have to charge them with an external air sourse, like at a gass station. However a small cigarette lighter plug in type can work if necessary.

Karen, you must have a "charger" unit, that the headphones set into to recharge. The "rechargeable" batteries can be bought at Wal*Mart. If you don't have a charger, check out any search engine (I use ask.com) and write in the name of the headphones and the model number. You will be able to buy a new there (or used unit on e-Bay) I absolutely love our headphones! They work great and have excellent stereo quality.

I have no suggestions. These did not work for me at all. I know of none that use a battery.

Yes, they do need to be on to charge. Turn them off when they will not be used for awhile.

The ones I had were solar and so far as I know did not have a battery, If it does, there is no way to access it. I no longer use these because they don't work anymore, as the frequency has been changed.

No the red light should be on when charging them and go off when they are charged. I would return them and get another pair.

The lights will turn on and off automatically by themselves. The only way you could turn them off manualy would be to cut the power to them. So you would need them on a switch of some kind. If they were on a switch, to turn them on manually you would need, first of all darkness and to have them turned off -- no power to them. At that point -- darkness and no power -- if you turned the power to them on, the lights should light up. If you did not interrupt the power supply before daylight, they should turn off automatically. I hope I answered your question. There is no off/on switch on the lights themselves -- it is automatic operation.

Do you have them set to "On"? If not, set them to On and then you can turn them off and on with the remote. Or check to make sure nothing is covering the battery, or that you try a new battery. I have never had problems with mine working.

I don't have a red dot on mine. There is a rubber switch on the left side and all you have to do is push it. If they are not charged, they will not come on. When you plug it in to charge, a light should come on on the top to tell you they are charging. They should also come on while plugged in. Let me know how you do. chuckie0204@hotmail.com
