1:Power switch - Use this to turn the main power on and off. When the transmitter is on, the display section (see #9 below) is lit.

2a: 1/4" Headphone jack - Connect any standard stereo headphones to this jack (via a 1/4" TRS plug) in order to monitor the audio signal connected to the transmitter’s rear panel input jack(s) (see #3, #7, and #8 on the following page). The built-in headphone preamp delivers approximately 200 mw of power.

2b: 1/8" (35 mm) Headphone jack - Connect any Walkman-style stereo headphones to this jack (via a 1/4" TRS plug) in order to monitor the audio signal connected to the transmitter’s rear panel input jack(s) (see #3, #7, and #8 on the following page).

3:Phone Level control - This knob sets the level of the signal sent to the headphone jacks (see #2a and #2b above). WARNING: To avoid possible damage to connected headphones (or, worse yet, to your ears!), always turn this all the way off (to the fully counterclockwise “0” position) before plugging in a pair of headphones—then raise the level slowly while listening.

4:Input Level control - This knob sets the incoming level of the audio signal connected to the transmitter’s Main rear panel input jack(s) (see #3 on the following page). See #5 below.

5:Level meters - These five-segment “ladder” meters (similar to the VU bar meters used on audio devices) show the strength of incoming audio signal. For best signal-to-noise ratio, adjust the Input Level control (see #4 above) so that the yellow “0” segment lights frequently, with the red “+6” segment lighting only infrequently during the very highest signal peaks. If you hear distortion, back the control off slightly.

6:CH. (Channel) button - Press this button to place the Wireless EarAmp® transmitter in “Group/Channel” mode. See the “Setting Up and Using The Wireless EarAmp®” section and Appendix A on pages 8 and 10 of this manual for more information.

7:FREQ (Frequency) button - Press this button to place the Wireless EarAmp® transmitter in “Frequency” mode. See the “Setting Up and Using The Wireless EarAmp®” section and Appendix A on pages 8 and 10 of this manual for more information.

8:Up/Down buttons - Use these to select the desired Group or Channel (when the transmitter is in “Group/Channel” mode) or to select the desired frequency (when the transmitter is in “Frequency” mode). See the “Setting Up and Using The Wireless EarAmp®” section and Appendix A on pages 8 and 10 of this manual for more information.

9:Display - This backlit two-line Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the currently selected Group and Channel or the currently selected frequency.

10:Program button - Press and hold down this button for two seconds or more within ten seconds of turning on the receiver Program switch (see #7 on page 6) in order to reprogram the receiver to utilize the currently selected frequency. See Appendix A on page 10 of this manual for more information.

11.Antenna - In normal operation, the antenna should be placed in a vertical position. See the “Setting Up and Using The Wireless EarAmp®” section on page 8 of this manual for more information.
