other parts even in normal use or in normal
keeping due to the material characteristics.
For replacement of the ear pads, please
consult with the dealer where you purchased

consult a doctor at once.
Also, should any liquid from the rechargeable
battery get onto your skin or clothes, it may
burn your skin. In this case, wash with clean
water immediately.
• When discarding batteries, environmental
problems must be considered and the local
rules or laws governing the disposal of these
batteries must be followed strictly.

Battery installation
1 Take off the ear pad of the right
headphone.
2 Take off the battery covers.
4 Put on the battery covers.
5 Put on the ear pad.
1 Insert the hem of the ear pad into the slit
on the headphone.
ENGLISH
3 Install the batteries.
Match the polarity (+ and –) on the batteries
with the + and – marking on the battery
compartments.
• Insert the – terminal of the battery at
first.
Be sure to use the supplied exclusive
battery. Do not use any other
rechargeable or dry cell battery, which
may cause malfunctions or damage
the unit.
2 Turn the ear pad anticlockwise to slide
all the hem into the groove on the
headphone.
• Be sure that all the hem is inserted fully.
If not, turn the ear pad anticlockwise
again until all the hem slides in.
Charging the battery
The base station works as the battery charging
unit. Charge the rechargeable battery before
starting to use the headphones.
You can continuously use the headphones for
ENGLISH
about 10 hours after full battery charge.
1 Make sure that the headphones are
turned off.
You cannot charge the battery of the
headphones when the headphones
are turned on. Press POWER to turn
the Power indicator off.
2 Put on the headphones on the
base station so that their charging
terminals contact firmly.
• The battery charging terminal on
the base station is covered with the
protection cap when purchasing.
Take off the cap before charging.
• When putting the headphones on the
base station, hold them and adjust their
position with your both hands to assure
the contact of the terminals.
3 Confirm the CHARGE indicator
lights up.
If the charge indicator does not light up,
return steps 1 and 2 after checking the
connection of the AC adaptor.
• It takes about 30 hours to charge the
batteries fully.
• 30-hour charging may not charge the
battery fully depending on the battery or
other conditions.
• The cycle life of the rechargeable battery
is approximately 500 times. (It varies
depending on the conditions when
charging.)
• The battery leaks its charge little by little
even when the headphones’ power is off,
due to its characteristics.
Notes on the battery and charging
• To make battery life longer:
– charging the battery within the
temperature range of 10ºC – 35ºC (50ºF
– 95ºF).
– not using the headphones in excessively
cold places. Low temperature decreases
battery life.
– charging the battery after its complete
discharging. Charging before complete
discharge makes the battery life
gradually shorter.
• Replace the batteries when their lives
become about half or the playback sound
become constantly noisy.
Use the exclusive rechargeable Ni-MH
battery J47958 only. When purchasing
the battery, consult the dealer where you
bought the product.
• Replace two batteries at the same time
when replacing.
Basic operations
Listening to the sound from the base
station
The base station works as the FM transmitter
and send sound to the headphones.
Precaution
Turn down the volume of the headphones with
the VOL dial before turning on its power to
avoid excessive volume.
1 Start playback on the AV
equipment connected with the
base station.
The base station turns on automatically and
starts to transmit FM signals (Auto Power
On function).
The POWER indicator of the base station
lights up.
• In some situations, the power may not
be turned on automatically by the input
sound (e. g. a song with a quiet opening
or fade in). This is not a malfunction.
2 Press POWER on the
headphones to turn on the
power.
The POWER indicator lights up and the
headphones automatically starts to tune in
to the signal from the base station (Auto
Tuning function).
The AUTO SCAN indicator lights up when
tuned in.
• No sound is heard while Auto Tuning. It
takes a few seconds to tune in.
• Press AUTO SCAN when
the sound does not come out
properly.
3 Adjust the volumes of the
AV equipment and the
headphones.
• Adjust the volumes within the area about
7 m (23 ft.) from the base station to get
optimum signal reception.
• You can get better sound by setting the
volume of the AV equipment as high
as possible without causing distortion
and that of the headphone lower (except
when connecting the AV equipment
through LINE OUT jacks).
To Turn off the units
Press POWER on the headphones and
stop playback on the AV equipment.
The headphones’ POWER indicator
goes off.
• The base station automatically turns off if no
signals come in for about four minutes (Auto
Power OFF function).
• The white noise may come out when the base
station turns off. Take off and turns off the
headphones after using.
ENGLISH

when pressing POWER. Pressing the
edge may not turn on the power.
• Charge the battery in the following cases.
The battery ran out:
– The POWER indicator does not light
up after pressing POWER.
– The AUTO SCAN indicator does not
light up though the POWER indicator
lights up.
Basic operations
Selecting a better reception channel
When the playback sound is noisy, you can
choose one of the other two channels to
ENGLISH
transmit signals on the base station.
• The white noise may come out when
switching the channel. Take off the
headphones when switching the channel.
1 Slide the CHANNEL
selector on the back side of
the base station to select another
channel.
2 Press AUTO SCAN on the

Listening area
Call through the base station
You can call the one using the headphones with
the microphone on the base station.
1 Press and hold CALL
on the base station.
The playback sound is interrupted.
2 Speak to the microphone on the
base station.
Speak at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from
the microphone. The speaking sound may
be distorted.
3 Release CALL after finishing
speaking.
• Do not speak to the
microphone suddenly in
too loud voice. The sudden excessive
loud sound may damage the ears of
the headphones user or may cause an
accident to the user.
• Do not use the Call function when the
headphones are near the base station. It
may cause a howling sound and damage
the headphone user or cause an accident.
The headphones can receive the FM signal of
the base station 50 m (164 ft.) away from it at
maximum (when no interference or obstacles
exist between them). But the receivable
range becomes shorter or reception quality
becomes poorer in the following cases:
– In places such as reinforced concrete
buildings
– Obstacles such as steel-reinforced doors
exist between the base station and
headphones
– Items such as metal furniture are situated
nearby
– In places facing a street
– Noise or interference sources exist nearby
(e.g. mobile ham, radio stations, high-
voltage power lines, a microwave oven,
cordless phones, cellular phones, etc.)
