Safety instructions
y Please read these instructions carefully and completely
before using the system.
y Make these instructions easily accessible to all users at all
times. Always include these instructions when passing the
system on to third parties.
y Do not wear the headphones in situations which require
special attention (e.g. when performing skilled jobs).
y Always keep the system dry and do not expose it to extreme
temperatures (ideally 10-35°C).
y Use the system with care and set it up in a clean, dust-free
environment.
y Varnish or furniture polish may degrade the feet of the trans-
mitter, which could stain your furniture. You should therefore place the transmitter on a non-slip pad to avoid potential staining of furniture.
y This system allows you to set higher volumes than conventi-
onal stethoset systems. This can cause hearing damage in
persons with healthy hearing and especially in children.
y Please observe the safety instructions for Lithium-Ion
rechargeable batteries on the enclosed leaflet.
Intended use of the system
Intended use includes:
y having read these instructions, especially the chapter
“Safety instructions”.
y using the system within the operating conditions as descri-
bed in these instructions.
Improper use
Improper use means use of the system other than as described
in these instructions or under operating conditions which differ
from those described in these instructions.

The IS 410 stethoset receiver system
The IS 410 is a cordless infra-red stethoset receiver system with
which you can adjust the volume of your TV, radio, personal
stereo and other hi-fi equipment to suit your individual needs.
In addition, the system allows you to move around freely
without the constrictions of cables within the room where the
transmitter is placed.
The IS 410 is particularly easy and intuitive to operate. The
stethoset receiver automatically switches on when you pull the
earbows apart. The volume can be adjusted directly on the
receiver. The speech intelligibility can be enhanced at the press
of a button on the transmitter.
The transmitter has an integrated charging compartment for
storing the receiver and simultaneously charging the receiver’s
rechargeable battery. In addition, a spare rechargeable battery
can be charged in the small charging compartment at the side
of the transmitter.
Delivery includes
Delivery of the IS 410 stethoset receiver system includes:
y 1 RI 410 stethoset receiver
y 1 TI 410 transmitter with integrated charging compartment
y 1 BA 300 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery
y 1 mains unit
y 1 connecting cable fitted with two 3.5 mm stereo jack plugs
for connection to headphone socket
(with one adapter to 1/4“ (6.3 mm) jack socket)
y 1 adapter to RCA socket (e.g. TB/Aux-Out)
2 pairs of replacement ear cushions

Putting the system into operation
Setting up the transmitter
왘 Place the transmitter so that there are no obstacles in the
light path between transmitter and receiver.
Note:
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may interfere with the reception and may damage the transmitter.
If you use a plasma TV screen, please observe the following to
ensure interference-free reception:
y Make sure that the transmitter’s infrared light beam is
pointed directly at the receiver and that the light path
between transmitter and receiver is not obstructed.
y If necessary, use a standard extension cable (3.5 mm stereo
jack plug) to reduce the distance between transmitter and
receiver. This extension cable is available from your
Sennheiser dealer.
Connecting the transmitter to the sound source
왘 Plug in one end of the connecting cable to the blue AUDIO
socket on the transmitter.
왘 Check the connection possibilities of your sound source (e.g.
TV).

왘 Adjust the volume of the headphone socket on your sound
source to a medium level. This improves the quality of
cordless sound transmission. If necessary, check the menu
setting of your TV.
Note:
With most TVs, the headphone socket is located at the front
or sides. Depending on the socket, you may have to use the
adapter .
In order to prevent damage to hearing, newer TVs often have a
function that mutes the TV sound as soon as headphones are
connected.
왘 If another person wants to listen to the TV sound via the
loudspeaker, deactivate the muting function via the TV menu
setting.

If your sound source has a SCART socket, you can order the
suitable SCART adapter (see “Accessories” on page 15) from
your Sennheiser dealer.
왘 Connect the connecting cable to the SCART adapter .
왘 Plug in the SCART adapter to the SCART socket on your TV.
If your TV has several SCART sockets, select a SCART socket
that is also an output (for details, see operating manual of
your TV).

D
If your sound source doesn’t have a headphone or audio output,
SCART or RCA socket, you can use your system together with an
external microphone (see “Accessories” on page 15).
왘 Connect the microphone to the blue socket AUDIO on the
transmitter.
왘 Position the microphone in front of the loudspeaker of your
sound source. You can change the sound by varying the
position of the microphone in front of the loudspeaker.
Connecting the transmitter to the mains
왘 Connect the mains unit to the yellow socket (12 VDC) on
the transmitter.
왘 Plug the mains connector into a wall socket.
The LED lights up green. If the receiver is stored in the
transmitter’s charging compartment , the LED goes off.
Note:
Pull the mains connector out of the wall socket when the
transmitter will not be used for extended periods of time
(e.g. when you are on holiday). In this case, however, the
rechargeable battery will not be recharged.

Inserting and removing the receiver’s rechargeable battery
왘 Insert the battery into the compartment as shown on the
left. Make sure that the battery is inserted correctly.
왘 To remove the battery, use the finger catch projection to pull
the battery out of the receiver.
Note:
y The receiver is delivered with the battery inserted.
y Before you use the rechargeable battery for the first time,
charge it until the LED lights up green (see “Storing and
charging the receiver” on page 11).

Inserting a spare rechargeable battery into the transmitter’s charging compartment
You can charge a spare battery (not included) in the charging
compartment at the side of the transmitter. This spare
battery is not required for operating the IS 410 but offers
extended listening time while the discharged first battery is
being recharged.
왘 Insert the spare battery into the charging compartment
as shown on the left.
왘 If the battery is inserted correctly, the LED lights up

Switching the stehoset receiver on
ON
OFF
Attention!
The stethoset receiver automatically switches on when you pull
the earbows apart and put the receiver on. When you take the
receiver off, it automatically switches off.
왘 Before putting the receiver on, use the volume control to
adjust the volume to a low level. This protects your hearing
from damage.
왘 Put the receiver on the correct way round, with the
Sennheiser logo at the front.
Volume up? - No!
When people use headphones, they tend to
choose a higher volume than with loudspeakers.
Listening at high volume levels for long periods
can lead to permanent hearing defects. Please
protect your hearing, Sennheiser headphones also
sound exceptionally good at low volumes.

Adjusting the volume
왘 If the transmitter is connected to a headphones socket of
your sound source:
Adjust the volume of the sound source to a medium level.
This improves the quality of cordless sound transmission.
왘 Use the volume control to adjust the volume to a
sufficient and comfortable level.
Adjusting the balance
The IS 410 features a balance control for right/left volume
adjustment.
왘 Use the balance control to adjust the volume so that you
hear equally well with both ears.
Enhancing speech intelligibility
The button allows you to enhance speech intelligibility.
왘 If the speech is barely intelligible, press the button . The
button is backlit in yellow and speech intelligibility is
enhanced.

Note:
If the speech remains barely intelligible, increase the volume
of your sound source.
Page 16
Storing and charging the receiver
Do not store your receiver on a glass dummy head, chair
armrest, or similar for long periods of time as this can reduce
the contact pressure of the earbows. Furthermore, with the
earbows pulled apart, the receiver remains switched on.
왘 After use, place the receiver into the transmitter’s charging
compartment as shown on the left, without exerting too
much pressure. The transmitter automatically switches off.
왘 If the receiver is placed correctly into the charging
compartment, the LED lights up
