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.
