Installing the transmitter/charging station

• The red LED (2) lights up.

Installing the receiver/headphones

• Carefully pull off the earpad on the right-hand side.
• Insert the two batteries supplied, making sure you observe correct polarity.
• Reinsert the earpad until it audibly clicks into place.

Getting started

• Switch on the audio source connected to the transmitter (TV or audio player).
• Switch on the headphones by pressing the Power button (3). The LED(7) of the headphones lights up green. Make sure that the red LED(2) is lit. This confirms that the rechargeable batteries are charged.
• Put the headphones on and set the volume to the desired level.
• Before using the headphones for the first time, make sure that the battery is fully charged. Charge the battery for at least 24 hours before the first use.
• Switch off the headphones if they are not being used and put them back onto the transmitter’s charging contacts.
• If you cannot get an optimum signal frequency, press the Auto-Tune button (5) on the headphones.
• If you cannot get an adequate frequency, change the frequency channel on the rear side of the transmitter. Then confirm the corresponding channel on the headphones by pressing the Auto-Tune button.
• To get the best sound experience with your headphones, you should set the volume of the sound source (TV, stereo system, etc.) as high as possible and reduce the volume on the headphones themselves.

The transmitter will automatically switch off if it receives no audio signal for approximately 2 minutes, or if the signal from the audio source is too weak for flawless reception. As soon as the signal strength is sufficient, the transmitter will automatically switch back on. The headphones do not switch off automatically.

Charging

• Switch off the headphones.
• Place the headphones in the charging station as shown, and make sure that the charging contacts of both devices properly touch each other.
• The green LED (1) lights up. Charging begins automatically.
• To prevent damage to the batteries, always switch off the headphones when they are not in use.
• Before using the product for the first time, the batteries should be fully charged. To guarantee an acceptable charge, the batteries should initially be charged for 24 hours. Subsequent charging cycles then last approximately 10 hours.
• The batteries will not be charged if the transmitter is off.
