6. Getting Started
Warning
• Only operate the product from a socket that has been
approved for the device. The socket must be installed close to
the product and must be easily accessible.
• Disconnect the product from the power supply using the On/
Off switch – if this is not available, unplug the power cord
from the socket.
• If using a multi-socket power strip, make sure that the total
power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed
the power strip's maximum throughput rating.
• If you will not be using the product for a prolonged period,
disconnect it from mains power.
6.1 Connecting the transmitter
• Connect the connecting cable of the power supply unit to the DC
IN connection (10) on the transmitter. Now connect the power
supply unit to an easily accessible outlet.
• Connect one of the included audio cables (RCA or optical) to the
[ANALOG] (8) or [OPTIC] (6) audio input on the rear of the trans-
mitter and to the corresponding audio output on your playback
device (TV or audio source). Alternatively, you can also use the
digital coaxial input (7).
• Set the [INPUT Select] switch (4) to the input you are using
(Optic/Coax/Analog).
6.2 Inserting the batteries (headphones) (Fig. 4)
Warning – Batteries
• When inserting batteries, note the correct polarity (+ and -
markings) and insert the batteries accordingly. Failure to do so
could result in the batteries leaking or exploding.
• Only use batteries (or rechargeable batteries) that match the
speci ed type.
• Before you insert the batteries, clean the battery contacts and
the polar contacts.
• Do not allow children to change batteries without supervision.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of a different
type or make.
• Remove the batteries from products that are not being used
for an extended period (unless these are being kept ready for
an emergency).
• Do not short-circuit batteries.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Do not throw batteries in a re.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow
them to enter the environment. They can contain toxic,
environmentally harmful heavy metals.
• Immediately remove and dispose of dead batteries from the
product.
• Avoid storing, charging or using the device in extreme
temperatures and extremely low atmospheric pressure (for
example, at high altitudes).
Warning
• Do not allow batteries/rechargeable batteries to discharge
completely.
• Do not tamper with or damage/heat/disassemble the batteries/
rechargeable batteries.
• Do not short circuit the batteries/rechargeable batteries and
keep them away from uncoated metal objects.
• The batteries and charging station included in the delivery go
together and should always be used in combination.
Note – Batteries
• Switch off your device before changing the batteries.
• When stored over a long period of time, batteries should be
charged regularly (at least every three months).
• The batteries may be charged at any time; it is not necessary to
discharge them completely before charging.
• Before using the device for the rst time, you must insert the
supplied batteries into the headphones and fully charge them
(takes about 7 hours).
• Open the battery compartment cover by holding the rear side
of the right earpiece (16) and carefully turning the right earpad
anti-clockwise.
• Insert the two AAA batteries (supplied) into the battery compart-
ment, observing correct polarity. Close the battery compartment
properly by putting back the earpad and turning it clock-wise
until you feel it snap into place.
6.3 Charging the headphones
• First switch off the headphones by pressing and holding the
Power button (14) for about 2 seconds.
• Hang the headphones onto the charging contacts (3) on the
transmitter.
• Switch on the transmitter at the back of the device by moving
the [Power] slide control (9) to the [ON] position.
• Charging begins automatically; the Charge LED (1) on the
transmitter turns green as soon as the charging contacts of the
transmitter and headphones are correctly connected.
• When charging is complete, the green Charge LED (1) goes out.
Note
The batteries will not be charged if the transmitter is off.
6.4 Adjusting input sensitivity (attenuator)
• Depending on your connected playback device, adjust the
sensitivity of the input level using the [ATT.] switch (5) on the
transmitter.
• Use the switch position [-8dB] for TV, DVD or hi- , for example;
for portable devices, such as an iPod or smartphone, use the
switch position [0dB].
7. Operation
7.1 Switching on the transmitter
• Switch on the playback device (TV or audio component) that your
transmitter is connected to.
• Move the [Power] slide control (9) on the rear of the transmitter
to the [ON] position. The Power LED begins to ash blue; it stops
ashing and is solid after about 8–9 seconds.
