Operation

Initial Operation

1. Make sure the TV7400 is plugged into the main supply.
2. Place the TV Headset in the Charging Cradle for at least three hours to allow it to fully charge.

• Make sure the TV Headset is switched OFF (see figure (1)).
• The LED Indicator glows red during charging.
• It will glow green after the battery is fully charged (see figure (2)).
3. After three hours have passed and the charging LED has turned green, you can proceed to use the device.

Routine Operation

1. Switch on the Audio Source (TV set or another audio device) that the Transmitter is connected to. The Power LED Indicator will glow continuously (see figure (3)).
2. Put the Ear Phone plug into the 3.5mm phone jack of the TV Receiver. On the TV Receiver, switch ON the On/Off Switch (see figure (4)). The green Power LED Indicator will glow continuously.
3. Adjust the Volume to the desired sound level (see figure (5)), then fit the earbuds in your ears.

Improving Sound by Switching Channels

Note: Make sure the battery is fully charged before first use. Charge the battery for about 3 hours before first use.
RF Transmission of the Transmitter will automatically switch OFF in approximately 5 minutes if there is no Audio Signal, or the Signal that it receives from the Audio Source is too weak for proper reception. However, if the Signal returns to an acceptable level, the Transmitter will automatically switch ON again.

You can adjust the sound to suit your hearing in each ear.
With the Receiver on, rotate the Sound Balance button (see figure (5)) to adjust the sound – you will notice that the sound seems to “drift” from one side to the other. Adjust this button until you find your most pleasant sound balance.

   You can switch from Listening mode to Conversation mode without having to take off the Receiver.
To talk or listen to someone:
1. Press the Mic button (see figure (6)). This will shut off the Audio Source and the Receiver will become an amplifier by activating the Microphone.
2. To resume listening to your audio device, press the Mic button again. The microphone will be shut off and the audio will resume.

Controlling the Tone (Bass & Treble)

When necessary, Treble or Bass in the Headset Receiver can be adjusted on the Transmitter by the Tone Clarity Button. Simply press the Tone Clarity Button to select Treble or  Bass, and match to your level of hearing aid capability.
