INSTALLATION OF TRANSMITTER
INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES
1) Connect the supplied AC power adapter to an electrical wall outlet.
2) Plug the AC power Adapter into the DC jack located on the rear of the transmitter.
3) Locate the audio cord connected at the back of the transmit­ter. The 3.5 mm plug provided can be used to connect the transmitter to the headphone jack of any audio source. If your equipment has a 1/4” size jack, use the adapter plug included with the headphone.
For connection to RCA type phono jacks located on the back of a TV, VCR or A/V receiver, use the “Y” adapter that is included. Just insert the mini plug on the audio cord into the jack on the adapter to convert the connector for this applica­tion. Then insert the red and white RCA plug ends into the equipment jacks marked “Audio Out” to make the audio source connection (see diagram).

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
1) Switch the ON/OFF switch on the headphone receiver to OFF.
2) Plug the charge output plug, located on the back of the transmitter, into the charge input jack of the headphone receiver to charge the batteries.
3) The charging process starts automatically and the RED LED lights up indicating the unit is charging.
4) After the quick charge is completed, the quick charge indicator will be OFF; however, the trickle charge will continue.
Caution: Do not use other kinds of batteries to replace the Ni-Cd quick
charge (AA) battery. When you are not using the head­phone, please switch it off as the batteries can be damaged.

The Ni-Cd (nickel cadmium) batteries must be fully charged prior to operation. An initial charge of 24 hours is required to ensure the extended life of the Ni-Cd batteries. Be sure the headset is in the OFF position during charging status.
OPERATION
1) Turn on the audio source (TV or audio component) to which the transmitter is connected.
2) Switch the ON/OFF switch on the headphone to ON.
3) Place the headphones on your head and adjust the volume control to the desired listening level. The adjustable head­band lets you adjust the length of the headphones for a comfortable fit.
4) Tune the frequency adjustment control, located on the back of the transmitter, to a mid-level setting. Just rotate the thumb­wheel knob up or down and leave it set approximately in the middle of the range.
5) Adjust the tuning dial of the headphone to the frequency of the transmitter for best reception.
NOTE
You should now be able to walk freely from r oom to r oom without disruption. If disruption should occur (signal breaks up), adjust the headphones tuning control to maximize stereo reception.
If you hear interference from other components, re-adjust the tuning control. Move the control on the transmitter to a different setting, then adjust the control on the headphones to match the new setting. You may have to try a few loca­tions to find one with no interference.
When transmitting/receiving over long distances, the signal from the system will become weaker and the stereo indicator light will go dim.
For protection of the transmitter and to save power , the transmitter will cut of f automatically in about one minute when the input signal from the audio source is too weak for operation. If the signal is restored, the transmitter will work again automatically.
