How to use

Insert the TRRS plug of the headset into the TRRS jack of the adapter or plug the adapter's TRRS plug into the device's combined audio port, depending on the connection direction. Then connect the separate microphone and headphone plugs to the corresponding microphone and headphone sockets on the target device. The adapter requires no configuration; after physical connection the device should recognize the audio paths automatically, provided the device supports the CTIA wiring standard.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, verify your headset and device use the CTIA wiring standard before use. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors to prolong adapter life. If audio or microphone functions are not detected, check device audio settings and try alternative ports or cables to rule out incompatibilities.
