Long Range Headset System™

• STEP 1
  Place the transmitter
  Place the transmitter close enough so that you can connect it to the television. Keep the transmitter accessible so you can easily charge your headset after use.

• STEP 2
  Plug in
  Using the provided USB to USB-C cable, please connect the cord to the supplied power block. Plug the AC adapter into a standard electrical outlet or surge protector (a surge protector is recommended to protect against power surges).
  Plug the other end of the AC adapter into the port labeled “Power” on the back of the transmitter.

• STEP 3
  Installation of the Transmitter
  

• Connection for Digital Audio

  • Sometimes located underneath plastic tray
  • Remove the plastic caps from both ends of the digital audio cord.

  * Plug either end of the digital audio cord into the “Digital Audio Out” port on the back of the TV.  

Plug the other end of the digital audio cord into the port on the back of the transmitter labeled “Optical”. You should hear and feel a ‘click’ when it has been pushed in all the way.

  * Your TV’s digital audio out format may be set to Dolby digital or DTS. If you get static from your TV Ears after installing the digital audio cord, you need to change this option to PCM in your TV’s setup menu. The setup menu is different per brand but it should be similar to the following sequence — Audio Settings>Additional Audio Settings>Digital Audio Out Format>Change format from Dolby or DTS to PCM.

NOTE: The optical plug and jack are not square. Position the optical plug so it matches the orientation of the optical jack, then push the plug into the jack. You should hear and feel a “click” when the plug is correctly inserted into the optical jack.
NOTE: If the Digital Audio Out port is a round hole (rare occurrence), purchase and use a Coaxial audio cord instead of the optical.

• Connection for Analog Audio

  • Plug one end of the Analog Audio Cord (black) in the “Audio Out” port on the back of the television, satellite box, or cable box.
  • Plug the other end of the Analog Audio Cord (black) into the port labeled “Analog” on the back of the transmitter. The correct port has a green border around it.
  • If you connect to your Headphone port of your TV, the port is usually labeled with an icon that looks like the following: your TV may be muted. If this is the case then connect using the RCA Analog Installation method.

• RCA Analog Installation

  • Plug the dual end of the 3.5mm RCA cord (red and black ends) into the analog “Audio Out” ports on the back of
    the television, satellite, or cable box.

  • Plug the single (black) end of the 3.5mm RCA cord into the Analog Audio Cord (green). Plug the other end of the
    Analog Audio Cord (green) into the port labeled “Analog” on the back of the transmitter. The correct port has a green border around it.

Charging the Headset via Cradle Transmitter

• All Long Range headsets should be charged for 4 hours BEFORE first use. This step will instruct you on how to appropriately charge the headset to make sure you’re getting the best use possible.
• Turn the volume knob of the headset to the “off” position. You should hear and feel a ‘click’ when the knob has been turned all the way off.
• Place the headset into the transmitter’s charging cradle and be sure the front of the headset is facing towards you. The TV.Ears logo should be visible on both the front of the headset as well as the front of the transmitter. Press down on the headset when it is in the cradle until it is secure. The headset should slightly stick in the cradle when you try to remove it. The charging light will illuminate when the headset is in the correct position. When fully charged, the headset should last about 4-6 hours.
• Via Direct USB-C
  Pop open the plastic cover on top of the headset base that is located between the volume and tone dials. You are able to plug the headset directly to the usb-c cable that is located in your product box. Your headset is able to charge directly through a power source even if your cradle transmitter is not available.
