POWER/CHARGE lamp

NOTE

2 Put the headphones on the transmitter making sure that the charging terminals are in contact with each other.

•The POWER/CHARGE lamp on the transmitter glows red.

•The lamp goes out when the batteries are fully charged. It takes approximately 16 hours to charge the supplied batteries.

•When putting the headphones on the transmitter, hold the left and right housings in each hand and put the headphones straight down onto the transmitter.

Service life for rechargeable batteries

If the duration of use for the supplied nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries is half the usual time after charging, the batteries have reached the end of their service life. Replace them with new batteries.

		Using dry cell batteries (not included)				ENGLISH
Use “R6/LR6, AA” dry-cell batteries.
Put the batteries into the headphones in the same way as described in [Inserting the supplied nickel-
metal hydride rechargeable batteries](				page 7).
You cannot charge dry cell batteries even if you put the headphones on the transmitter.
		Operating times for dry cell batteries			*1 At 1 kHz, 1 mW + 1 mW output.
	Battery type		Operating time*1

•During charging the transmitter is turned off automatically.

•Disconnect the AC adapter from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time. This unit consumes a small amount of power (approximately 1.3 W) if the AC adapter is connected, even when it is turned off.

•Do not attempt to charge dry cell batteries.

•Charge the batteries in an environment with an ambient temperature between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).

If the POWER/CHARGE lamp does not light up

Check that the left and right sides of the headphones are correctly placed on the left and right sides of the transmitter.

Check that the charging terminals on the headphones and transmitter are touching each other. Adjust them if they are not touching.

To charge the batteries after using the headphones

Put the headphones back on the transmitter. The POWER/CHARGE lamp glows red. The DECODE MODE lamp goes out approximately 1-2 seconds later and charging begins. It takes approximately 16 hours to charge the supplied batteries. The unit’s internal timer will stop charging when the batteries are fully charged so leaving the headphones on the transmitter will not cause battery overcharging or damage to the unit.

To check the remaining battery power

Pull up the free-adjusting band and check if the POWER lamp on the right housing is dim or flashing. This means that the batteries have run down and should be replaced or charged.

If the sound is distorted, intermittent or there is excessive background noise the batteries should also be replaced or charged.
