CONNECTING THE RECHARGING

CRADLE/TRANSMITTER

Follow this quick setup guide to ensure trouble-free installation of your headphones. To connect the recharging cradle/transmitter to the audio source, follow these steps.

1.Plug the stereo audio cable into the headphone jack of your audio source (e.g., stereo, TV, CD player, DVD, etc.). If your audio source has two RCA output jacks instead of a headphone jack, use the supplied Y cable to connect your headphones to the two (red and white) RCA jacks.

2.Connect the other end of the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO IN socket at the back of the recharging cradle/transmitter.

3.Connect the AC/DC main power adapter to the DC IN power supply socket at the back of the recharging cradle/transmitter. Then, connect the adapter to an electrical outlet.

OPERATION

Standard usage

1.Switch on the audio source (TV, DVD, CD player, etc.) to which the recharging cradle/transmitter is connected. If your audio source is a DVD or CD player, start a disc.

WARNING: The recharging cradle/transmitter has an automatic function that switches it off if the audio input jack does not receive an audio signal for approximately two minutes. If the volume on the audio source is too low, the recharging cradle/transmitter also switches off after two minutes. This feature was installed to comply with current legislation that reduces the amount of radio emissions in the environment. To ensure that this function is not accidentally triggered, set the audio source volume at approximately 50 percent capacity. Consult your component user’s manual for details on how to set the volume for headphones/earphones.

2.The recharging cradle/transmitter is now ready to receive an audio signal. The recharging cradle/transmitter is activated automatically when receiving an audio signal from the audio source.

3.Check to make sure the power on indicator light on the front of the recharging cradle/transmitter is lit, indicating that the unit is ready.

4.Push the POWER ON/OFF button, located on the right earphone. The LED light turns on to indicate activation.

5.The recharging cradle/transmitter features three channels for radio frequency transmissions. Select one of these channels, using the switch on the back of the recharging cradle/transmitter.

OPERATION (continued)

6.After selecting a channel, use the fine tuning control, located on right earphone to adjust the reception. The PLL function automatically locks the three channels, providing you with top-quality audio reception with no sound loss.

7.Adjust the volume using the volume control, also located on the right earphone.

8.When you are through using the headphones, switch them off using the POWER ON/OFF button, and place the audio source on standby.

Note: To ensure that your headphones are charged and ready for

use at all times, place them in the recharging cradle/transmitter when not in use.

Alternate Installation Configuration

The accessories included with your headphone system include a jack adapter for connecting the unit to a 6.35 mm headphone socket and a Y cable. Normally, when a device is plugged into a headphone jack, it automatically shuts off the speakers. If you want the speakers to continue playing while you are using the headphone set, you can use the Y adapter instead of the headphone jack. Use the supplied Y cable to connect your headphones to the two (red and white) RCA jacks. Connect the other end of the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO IN input jack at the back of the recharging cradle/transmitter. This is especially useful if, for example, your family is listening to music in one room of your home and you want to listen to the same music in another room. It is also beneficial in families where one person has a hearing impairment. That person can use the headphones to listen to the audio source, adjusting the volume as needed. This type of connection also enables you to use your headphones more simply as you will only need to switch on the audio source and switch on your headphones to activate.
