Installation Tips:

•Ports on the front of TVs are usually audio in ports and will not send sound to your TV Ears.

•Fixed/Variable Audio Setting: audio out ports may be marked fixed or variable/fixed or R & L. A fixed audio out setting will allow the television volume to work independently from the TV Ears headset. The television volume can be on mute or at a low level while the TV Ears’ volume can be turned up.

•Consult your television manual / manufacturer to manually program the television to FIXED audio if currently set to variable audio.

•TV Ears does not work with digital audio out ports without the TV Ears DAC (digital analog converter). Please use audio out ports on cable or satellite box, purchase a TV Ears DAC or contact TV Ears customer service department for assistance with digital audio out ports.

Step 3 Charging the Headset

Each headset comes pre-charged with enough battery power for 10 minutes of use. The headset will last up to 10 hours on a full charge, depending on volume level. A fully exhausted battery will take between 8-10 hours to charge completely. The automatic 1-hour “Quick Charge” feature will rapidly charge a partially drained battery sufficiently for typical use, 2-4 hours.
