INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing RCA Wireless Headphones. This
wireless stereo infrared headphone system allows you to listen
to TV, VCR, Audio Components, or other audio sources at your
desired volume level without disturbing others in the room and
without being tied to the audio source by a wire.
The system consists of two components:
• Infrared Transmitter
• Headphone Receiver
The Transmitter connects to your audio source (TV, VCR, etc.)
and transmits the audio signal by infrared light to the
Headphone Receiver. The transmitter features - Auto Power On
Indicator, and Quick Charge Indicator on the front. The
Transmitter also serves as a recharging base for the
Headphones.
The Headphone Receiver captures infrared light and changes it
back into a sound signal. The headphones feature - built-in
Infrared detectors, on-off switch and volume control switch.
In addition to the usage at home with TV, VCR, Audio
Component and Radio, this headphone system is also perfect for
the usage in class room, hospitals, meetings, churches, as a hearing aid, and for the purpose of language translation.

3) Connect the Transmitter to the Audio Source component
using either the audio jack or the mini plug hook-up.
The Transmitter has AUDIO IN connectors for either Stereo
RCAtype plugs or Mini Plug Connectors (Commonly used
as Headphone connectors).
The “Y” Adapter, mini plug to RCAtype plug, which was
included is a universal type that can be used to connect most
audio sources to the transmitter. However, a standard audio
cable with RCAtype plugs on both ends and a mini-plug can
both be used with either of the input connections provided, if
desired.

OPERATION OF TRANSMITTER
The Green Auto ON/OFF indicator will be onwhen you plug the
adapter in the AC source and connect the audio plug to the audio
s o u rce. If the Auto On indicator is not lit (but the audio source is
ON) adjust the audio source output level which is greater than
the auto on indicator light in input level.
For protection of the transmitter and to save power, the
transmitter will be cut off automatically in the about one minute
when the input signal from audio source is too weak for
operation.

CAUTION: Under normal working condition, the surface
of the transmitter will be slightly hot.
NOTE: High levels from source may overload the
transmitter.
BATTERY INSTALLATION

bottom of cover.
2) Insert one AAABattery for
each headphone earcup.
3) Replace the battery door
cover by sliding in the
opposite direction of the
arrow until it “snaps”.
When using the AAANi-Cd Rechargeable battery in your
headphones, you must charge for 24 Hours prior to first use.
OPERATION OF HEADPHONE RECEIVERS

minimum position.
2) Turn the Receiver’s ON/OFF switch to ON.
