Safety instructions
Safety instructions
• Please read this instruction manual carefully and completely before
using the devices.
• Make this instruction manual easily accessible to all users at all
times. Always include this instruction manual when passing the
devices on to third parties.
• Do not use the devices in situations which require special attention
(e.g. when performing skilled jobs).
• Always keep the devices dry and do not expose them to extreme
temperatures.
• Use the devices with care and set them up in a clean, dust-free
environment.
• Varnish or furniture polish may degrade the feet of the transmitter,
which could stain your furniture. You should therefore place the
transmitter on a non-slip pad to avoid potential staining of
furniture.
• Connected headphones contain magnets that generate a magnetic
field which could cause dangerous interference with cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators. Keep connected headphones at
least 1.2” (3 cm) from cardiac pacemakers or implanted defibrillators.
• This receiver allows you to set higher volumes than conventional
headphones. This can cause hearing damage in persons with healthy
hearing and especially in children.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required if the devices have been damaged in any way, liquid has
been spilled, objects have fallen inside, the devices have been
exposed to rain or moisture, do not operate properly or have been
dropped.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
the device and the mains unit to rain or moisture.
• Use only the supplied mains unit.
• Disconnect the mains connector from the wall socket
– to completely disconnect the device from the mains,
– during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Ensure that the mains unit is
– always readily operable and easily accessible,
– properly plugged into the wall socket,
– not covered or exposed to direct sunlight for longer periods of
time in order to prevent heat accumulation,
– only operated within the permissible temperature range (see
“Specifications” on page 32),
– not operated near heat sources.

Putting the Set 830 S into operation
Setting up the transmitter
왘 Place the transmitter so that:
– there are no obstacles in the light path between trans-
mitter and receiver and
– transmitter and receiver are not exposed to direct
sunlight. Direct sunlight may interfere with the reception and may damage the transmitter.
If you are using a plasma TV screen:
Plasma TV screens radiate an infra-red signal that can
adversely affect the transmission quality.
왘 Make sure that the transmitter is placed as far as
possible from your plasma TV screen.
왘 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.
Note:
One transmitter can be used to transmit to several
receivers on the same frequency.
