Installing the receiver/headphones

Getting started

- 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
