1 Set the headphones volume level to the minimum. 2 Turn on the headphones and docking station. Make sure that there is an
active link between them.
3 Put your headphones on your head. Adjust the angles of the left and
right ear pieces until you feel comfortable.

Maintaining your system
Use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the apparatus immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cloth, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
Cautions:
• Do not cover the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table clothes, and curtains.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be repaired by a qualified technician.
Troubleshooting
Read this User Guide carefully before using your digital wireless stereo headphones. Check this list for a possible troubleshooting solution before calling for service.
Problem Solution
No sound • Check if the volume level of headphones, A/V receiver, or amplifier is set to
minimum.
• Make sure that all of the cables are connected correctly. Check to see if the power indicators of the headphones and docking station are lit solidly. If the indicators are blinking green, or blinking alternatively between red and green, refer to “No Communication between the headphones and docking station” below.
23RF-WHP01/WHP02
08-1077 RF-WHP01-WHP02.book Page 24 Thursday, March 27, 2008 1:29 PM
Problem Solution
Sound interference • Move the docking station slowly to find the best reception position for your
No communication between the headphones and docking station
headphones.
• Shorten the distance between your headphones and the docking station. The maximum distance is 98 feet (WHP02) or 65 feet (WHP01).
• Check if there are any obvious radio frequency interference sources near your system.
• Make sure that the AC adapter is connected to the docking station.
• Check if the two supplied batteries are installed into the headphone battery compartments.
• Check if one or both batteries are exhausted.
WHP02: The headphones and docking station power indicators light up after the headphone switch is set to ON and AUX IN/MIC IN is set on the docking system. WHP01: The headphones and docking station power indicators light up after the headphone switch is set to ON and the /| button on the docking system is pressed.
• If they are lit green solidly, then a communication link has been successfully established between the system.
• If they are blinking green on one, or both units, then press and hold the CONNECT button on the headphones and docking station for three seconds consecutively. (The headphones’ CONNECT button is on the left earpiece and the docking station’s CONNECT button is on its back.) This puts the system into the “connection mode” for about 30 seconds. The system proceeds with the connection process between the headphones and docking station. While in “connection mode”, the LED indicators of headphones and docking station blink between red and green alternatively. When an active link is established between the headphones and docking station, the LED indicators are solid on and will not blink.
Note: Try pressing the CONNECT button again if th e LED indicators keep blinking after 30 seconds.
