Putting the RS 180 into operation

Setting up the transmitter

왘 Choose a suitable place near your sound source (e.g. TV, stereo or home

cinema system).

왘 Do not place the transmitter close to metal objects such as shelf bars,

reinforced concrete walls, etc. as this can decrease the transmitter’s range.

It is not necessary that the transmitter and headphones are in the same room, so you can move around freely in the home or outside in the garden.

Cable dresser

왘 Snap the cable dresser 햺 into the opening at the rear of the

transmitter.

왘 Dress the cables through the small slit of the cable dresser 햺. The cable

dresser prevents the cables from slipping out of the sockets or being kinked.

왘 Use the cable binder to conceal the cables.

Putting the RS 180 into operation

WARNING Danger of hearing damage due to high volumes!

You can suffer hearing damage if you are using other Kleer compatible headphones without integrated volume control, such as the Sennheiser MX W1, with the TR 180 transmitter:

왘 In this case, do not connect the transmitter to the RCA

sockets (output) of your sound source, but to the headphone socket of your sound source.

왘 Before putting the headphones on, set the volume on the

sound source to a low level.

Depending on your sound source, you have to change the setting of the

ATTENUATOR switch 햸 in order to optimally adjust the signal of the sound

source.

Putting the RS 180 into operation

Integrating the transmitter into an existing connection between devices

To integrate the transmitter into an existing connection between your sound source and an additional device (e.g. an amplifier):

왘 Check if the RCA cable of the additional device is connected to an input

(see the instruction manual of the device).

왘 Connect the RCA cable of the additional device to the RCA output 햶 of

the transmitter.

The transmitter must remain connected to the mains. Otherwise, the connection between your sound source and the additional device will be interrupted.

Putting the RS 180 into operation

Connecting the transmitter to the mains

왘 Select the suitable country adapter 헀 for your wall socket.

왘 Slide the country adapter 헀 onto the power supply unit 햿 until it locks

into place.

왘 Connect the connector 헁 of the power supply unit to the socket 햹.

Inserting and changing the rechargeable batteries

For powering the headphones, you can use:

• standard batteries (AAA size, 1.5 V)

• NiMH rechargeable batteries (AAA size, 1.2 V, 600 mAh)

If you are using standard batteries, the headphones must not be placed on the headphone holder/charger of the transmitter.

왘 Remove the ear pads 쐋 from both ear cups by turning the ear pads in

the direction of the arrow until you overcome a slight resistance.

왘 Lift the ear pads 쐋 off the ear cups.

왘 Remove the depeleted rechargeable batteries (where applies).

Charging the headphones’ rechargeable batteries

CAUTION Danger of damage to the headphones!

If standard batteries are inserted into the headphones and you place the headphones on the headphone holder/charger of the transmitter, the batteries can leak and damage your headphones.

왘 Only place the headphones on the headphone holder/

charger of the transmitter, if rechargeable batteries are inserted.

Charge the rechargeable batteries for at least 16 hours prior to first time use. Subsequent charging time is about half of the previous operating time. The operating time is up to 24 hours.

HDR

왘 Place the headphones on the headphone holder/charger of the

transmitter. Make sure that the headphones make good contact with the charging contacts 햵. The rechargeable batteries are being charged. The CHARGE LED 햲 lights up orange.

When the rechargeable batteries are fully charged, the CHARGE LED 햲 goes off.

Always store the headphones on the headphone holder/charger to ensure that they are fully charged when they are needed.

Adjusting the headband of the headphones

For good sound quality and best possible comfort, the headband has to be adjusted to properly fit your head. To do so, adjust the headband 쐃 via its snap-in locking mechanism:

왘 Wear the headphones so that the headband 쐃 runs over the top of

your head.

왘 Adjust the length of the headband so that

– your ears are completely inside the earpads,

– you feel even, gentle pressure around your ears, – a snug fit of the headband 쐃 on the head is ensured.

To activate the automatic level control:

왘 Press the ALC button 햳 on the transmitter.

The ACL button 햳 is backlit in green.

Using the RS 180

Associating the headphones to the transmitter

The RS 180 system features the digital wireless audio transmission technology from Kleer. You can also associate other Kleer compatible headphones (e.g. the Sennheiser MX W1) to the transmitter. For more information, refer to the chapter “Associating other Kleer compatible headphones to the transmitter” on page 27 or to the instruction manual of the corresponding product.

The headphones and the transmitter are already associated upon delivery. You only have to associate the headphones to the transmitter

• if you want to use another pair of Kleer compatible headphones or

• if the transmission between the headphones and the transmitter is disturbed by interferences in the vicinity.

If you want to use several headphones, refer to the chapter “Associating several headphones to the transmitter” on page 27.

Associating the HDR 180 headphones to the transmitter

When associating the headphones to the transmitter, the distance between the transmitter and the headphones should not exceed 1 m.

왘 Make sure that the transmitter and the headphones are in standby

mode (see page 20 and 21).

Using the RS 180

쐂

왘 Simultaneously press the multi-function button 햴 of the

transmitter and the multi-function button 쐂 of the headphones for 7seconds. The multi-function button 햴 of the transmitter flashes green.

Associating several headphones to the transmitter

In order to be able to use several headphones simultaneously, you first have to associate your additional headphones to the transmitter.

왘 Follow the steps in the previous chapter “Associating the headphones

to the transmitter”. You can then only use the last headphones paired to listen to your sound source (single-user operation).

To listen to your sound source with up to 4 headphones simultaneously:

왘 Set your transmitter to multi-user operation as described in the next

chapter.

Using the RS 180

Listening with several headphones simultaneously

By default, the transmitter is set to single-user operation. In order to be able to listen to your sound source with several headphones simultaneously, you have to set your transmitter to multi-user operation.

The settings for the left/right volume adjustment is applied to the additional headphones. The volume of the each pair of headphones can be adjusted individually.

왘 Make sure that all headphones are paired to the transmitter (see

previous chapter).

왘 Switch all headphones on (see page 21).

왘 Then switch the transmitter on (see page 19).

왘 Briefly press the multi-function button 햴 of the transmitter.

The multi-function button 햴 of the transmitter and the multifunction LEDs 쐅 of the headphones flash green. You can now listen to your sound source with several headphones simultaneously.
