OVERVIEW
Would you like to watch television with crystal-clear sound that won’t disturb
others in your family? Do you want to avoid hearing damage that could be
caused by wearing normal wireless headphones for a long time? SIMOLIO SM-825D
Pro wireless TV hearing assistance and protecting headphone is just made for
you.
Apply with the latest 2.4GHz Digital Automatic Frequency-Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) technology, it gives you crystal-clear sound with the freedom
of a wireless connection – up to 100 feet without obstacles. You can customize
your listening at a most comfortable volume level, via balance and tone
controls. Our voice highlighting and noise cancelling technology dynamically
reduce TV background sounds and make TV dialogues stand out. At last you can
easily understand the TV dialogues at a healthy volume without worrying about
your hearing being damaged.
The SIMOLIO SM-825D Pro is especially helpful for hearing-impaired people. It
overcomes the weakness of regular hearing aids, which amplify both speech and
environmental background at the same time. Normal wireless headphones for TV
watching don’t help either, they also amplify everything together. Also, over
time you’ll keep turning the volume up and up, and that can make your hearing
worse and worse. Our hearing protecting headphone solves these problems.
The unique “one-button push” sound amplifier function allows you to hear
clearly what people are talking nearby without taking off the headphones.
It’s compatible with both digital and analog audio output ports and suitable
for almost all TVs and the set-top boxes on the market.
FEATURES
(1) Wireless TV Hearing Assistance and Hearing Protecting Function Soften the
background sound, make the TV conversation stand out, help the hearing
impaired people to understand the TV clearly, solve the problem that regular
hearing aid cannot do. The unique voice highlighting tech and customized tone
adjustment allow people to enjoy TV programs in safe sounds, protecting
people’s hearing from the progressive hearing damage caused by watching TV
with normal headphones for a long time.
(2) Personal Sound Amplifier A MIC button is designed as an additional &
unique feature to help you to temporarily hear what people are talking to you
when watching TV without taking off the headphone.

SM-825D Pro
(3) Long Distance Transmission Supported with the latest technology, you can

feet.
(4) Voice Highlighting Tech Reduce background voice in TV to highlight the
dialogues, so that words hard to hear can easily stand out, making television
dialogues to be understood easily.
(5) Noise Cancelling Tech (NCT) Reduce the ambient noise to help the users to
focus on listening to the dialogues in TV.
(6) Automatic Signal Control (ASC) Our special circuit design can adjust the
sudden volume change and make the output volume stable. It will avoid strong
signal hurting the users’ hearing.
(7) BALANCE Control The balance control allows for right/left volume
adjustment. Adjust the balance so that you hear equally well with both ears.
(8) TONE Control It is specially designed for people who have different sound
frequency sensitiveness. They can select TONE (Treble/Normal/Bass) to find the
optimum parameters, and hear the target audio source clearly.
(9) MONO/STEREO Optional You can switch to STEREO for enjoying Hi-Fi sound
quality music or select MONO for enjoying more clear TV dialogues.
(10) Good Compatibility Compatible with any brand of TV/Smart TV box/ Cable TV
box/Set-top box/DVD/other audio device that has a Digital Optical, RCA or
3.5mm AUDIO OUT port(s).

Micro USB cable into a compatible USB charger (transmitter USB port/PC or TV
USB port). It is ok to use most mobile phone chargers on market. The spare
battery is charged and always ready to avoid TV watching being interrupted by
the charging process.

signal is received for 10 minutes, the headphone will be powered off
automatically.

QUICK GUIDE for SM-823D, SM-824D & SM-825D IMPORTANT:
1. The unit will not work with the optical audio if the optical cable is carrying a
Dolby Digital or DTS signal.
In this case, set the Audio Out Format of your TV and TV related AV devices (e.g., cable box/DVD etc) to
PCM to get the unit to work.
2. Three different audio cords: digital optical cord, RCA cord and 3.5mm cord. In the end, only one of these cords is needed to complete the installation.
3. This device is a wireless TV headset as well as a personal sound amplifier. You can find a
MIC ON/OFF
button at the rear of headset. It is designed for hearing impaired people to clearly hear what people’s
talking to him/her nearby when watching TV. Just press MIC ON/OFF button , you can turn this headset to
a personal sound amplifier which could amplify the people’s voice around. When you want to back to
watching TV, just press the MIC button again. When use it as a wireless TV headset, the green working
indicator is on. As a personal sound amplifier, the red MIC indicator is on.
4. We suggest to hook up the transmitter base to the Optical Audio Out port of your TV/Smart TV box/ Cable TV box/Set-top box/DVD/other audio device in priority, for enjoying the super sound quality.

SEVEN FREQUENCY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) from marketing statistical analysis:
1.Outside noise overpowers the TV voice.
It is possible that the MIC ON/OFF button at the rear of headset is pressed on inadvertently, in this case the
MIC
indicator is solid red . To back to watching TV, just press the MIC ON/OFF button again or switch off the headset
and then restart with the red MIC indicator off and the green TV receiving indicator on.
2.The connections are correct and in place, but no TV sound is heard or sound cuts in and out.
- It is possible that the volume of the audio source is set too low. If you connect
STB/Cable box/DVD etc to the
TV to watch programs, then the audio source is the STB/Cable box/DVD etc. Please use the audio source’s
remote control to set its volume to a sufficient level to ensure a steady sound signal. If you want to mute the TV
sound and only hear from this headset, please use your TV remote control to click
MUTE menu. (For most TVs,
the TV’s speakers are separately controlled from the TV’s audio out).
- When do connection with the optical cable, set the Audio Out Format of your TV and TV related AV devices
(e.g., cable box/DVD etc ) to PCM to get the unit to work. ( Settings > Sound
