OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.

Thank you for purchasing RadioShack Rechargeable
900MHz Wireless Stereo Headphones. Your headphones
use the 900MHz band to deliver high-quality stereo sound to
almost anywhere in or around your home. Your headphones
use PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuitry and have a built-in
antenna to give you precise tuning, so you can enjoy your
favorite sounds without disturbing others anywhere around
your yard or house — up to 150 feet away from your stereo.

POWER indicator —

lights red when the AC
adapter is correctly plugged
in and you press POWER.

Choosing a Location

%*115+0)"#".1%#6+10

Many factors affect the range of your system. To achieve
the best performance:

• Position the transmitter as far as possible from other
electronic devices such as TVs, receivers, or VCRs.
Radio interference from these devices could affect your
system’s performance.

• Position the transmitter away from large metal objects,
as these could block your transmitter’s signals.

• Try several locations for the transmitter. Select the
location that provides the best performance.

Your system’s overall performance depends on your home’s
construction method, the other devices near the system,
and other radio frequency sources in your home (such as
cordless telephones).

"%#76+10"

• You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 12 volts DC
and delivers at least 250mA. Its
center tip must be set to positive
and its plug must fit the
transmitter's DC IN 12V jack. The
supplied adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these
specifications could damage the
transmitter or the adapter.

• Always connect the AC adapter
to the transmitter before you
connect it to AC power. When
you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before
you disconnect it from the
transmitter.

• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.

• If you do not plan to use the
headphones for a week or
longer, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
