Safety instructions
Intended use
This device is used to transmit radio signals and transform them into acoustic
signals. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered
to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No
liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let unattended children use electrical devices.
Possible hearing damage
When earphones are connected, the unit can produce volume that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Do not operate the device continuously at high volume. Turn down the volume immediately if background noise or hearing failure should occur.
Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
- In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries.
- When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
- Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
- Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
- If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rubber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water.
- Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lithium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
- Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
- Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning lithium battery.
Possible damage to lithium-ion batteries through incorrect storage By deep discharge, lithium-ion batteries can be permanently damaged or lose some of their capacity. Before long breaks, charge the batteries to around 50 % of their capacity and then switch off the device. Store the device at room temperature or cooler in an environment as dry as possible. If the batteries are stored for a longer period, recharge them to 50 % every three months. Fully charge the batteries only shortly before use at room temperature.
Where to use the product
- indirect sunlight
- in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
- in extremely dusty or dirty areas

General handling
- To prevent damage, never use force when operating the switches and controls.
- Never immerse the appliance in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents.
Electromagnetic compatibility with other electrical equipment
Using the device near radios or TV sets may cause interference. Then increase
the distance between the devices.

Using the device
- Use an appropriate USB charging station to charge the device (e. g item no. 386332, not included). A full charge of the built-in battery takes about 7 hours and allows operation for about 17 hours.
- Connect the earphones to the 3.5 mm mini jack socket (6).
- Keep the on/off button (4) pressed for two seconds to turn the unit on. The display (2) lights up and indicates the last used transmission channel.
- To select another channel keep the + / – buttons (5, 3) simultaneously pressed for two seconds. The CH indicator flashes on the display. Use the + / – buttons to select the desired channel.
- To confirm the selection, briefly press the on/off button (4) or wait five seconds for the unit to save the new channel automatically. The CH indicator stops flashing. The receivers in a group are synchronized automatically.
- The volume level is set to 5 by default. 4 levels between (4) and (full) can be set. To increase the volume press the + button (5), to reduce it press the – button (3). Briefly, press button 4 to mute the device. Then the icon appears on the display.
- You can connect audio sources with line-level outputs to the AUX input of the microphone unit, e.g. to playback music. To mute the microphone, set the MIC / MUTE switch on the microphone unit to the MUTE position.
- When the battery is fully charged, the display shows. When this icon is flashing, only 10 % of battery power is remaining and you need to charge the battery. During charging, this icon appears:
- The unit turns off during charging. To use it during charging, keep the on/off button (4) pressed for two seconds to turn the unit on.
- The unit automatically turns off after 20 minutes without input signal. To turn the device off manually, keep the on/off button (4) pressed for two seconds.
- If the device does not work as described here, press the switch for forced shutdown (9) for 1 second with a pointed object. The device turns off. Then turn the device back on.
Two-way communication
The two-way function between transmitter and receivers is activated on the
transmitter. As the transmitter transmits, multiple receivers may enter. The
transmission signal is reproduced by all receivers within a group.
At the transmitter
Slide the two-way communication switch (7) on the side of the transmitter to
the ON position. The two-way communication icon appears on the transmitter
display, and both the speaker icons and the level meter display begin to fl
ash. The level meter display now shows the earphone volume of the transmitter.
Press the + / – buttons (5, 3) to increase or decrease the volume. Make sure
the microphone volume is set as desired before enabling two-way communication.
Slide the two-way communication switch to the OFF position to disable two-way
communication.
At the receiver
To make announcements, press and hold the talk button on the side of the
receiver while talking into the built-in microphone. After your announcement,
release the talk button so that the next person can speak.
Pressing the talk button twice in quick succession will put the receiver in permanent talk mode and prioritize it in front of the other receivers. Now the talk button does not have to be pressed during the announcement. Press the talk button to cancel this mode.
