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-MKE 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.

Cleaning the Set 830 S-MKE
CAUTION!
Cleaning the Set 830 S-MKE
Cleaning the transmitter and the receiver
Liquids can damage the electronics of the
devices!
Liquids entering the housing of the devices
can cause a short-circuit and damage the
electronics.
왘 Keep all liquids far away from the devices.
왘 Do not use any cleansing agents or
solvents.
왘 Before cleaning, disconnect the transmitter from the
mains.
왘 Use only a slightly damp cloth to clean the devices.
If a problem occurs ...
The transmitter does not switch on
Possible cause Solution
Is the mains unit
connected correctly?
Is the sound source
switched on?
Is the volume of
the sound source
sufficient?
Is the transmitter
set to operating
mode 2 (see
page 29)?
Check the connection of the mains
unit to the transmitter and to the
mains (see page 10).
Switch your sound source on.
Set the volume on your sound
source to a medium level.
Take the receiver out of the
charging compartment. The transmitter automatically switches on.
24
You cannot hear anything
Possible cause Solution
If a problem occurs ...
Is there a free line
of sight between
receiver and transmitter?
Are transmitter and
receiver exposed to
direct sunlight?
Is the receiver still
within the transmitter’s range?
Are all connectors
connected correctly?
Is the operation
indicator B lit?
Is the transmitter
set up the wrong
way round?
Does the receiver’s
Sennheiser logo face
the transmitter?
Remove obstacles in the light path
between receiver and transmitter.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
Move the receiver closer to the
transmitter. If necessary, switch
the
receiver on again.
Check the connection between the
transmitter and your sound source
(see page 7).
Check if the transmitter is switched
on (see page 14).
Set up the transmitter so that the
cables are guided away from the
receiver (see page 6).
Wear the receiver the right way
round, with the Sennheiser logo
facing the transmitter.
Is the volume of
the sound source
sufficient?
Is the volume of the
receiver sufficient?
Is the rechargeable
battery inserted
properly into the
receiver and fully
charged?
Set the volume on your sound
source to a medium level.
Increase the volume by turning the
volume control 2 of the receiver
(see page 16).
Check if the channel indicator 1
is lit. If it is not lit: recharge the
rechargeable battery (see
page 19).
Remove the rechargeable battery
and reinsert it into the receiver.
If this doesn’t help: recharge
the rechargeable battery
(see page 19).
25
If a problem occurs ...
You hear the sound only with one ear
Possible cause Solution
Is the balance
adjusted correctly?
Is the transmitter
set to mono?
Turn the balance control 4 to the
left or right (see page 17).
Set the mono/stereo switch F
on the transmitter to the left
(see page 17).
The sound of your sound source is hardly intelligible
Possible cause Solution
Is the speech intelligibility enhancement out of adjustment?
Press the “speech intelligibility”
button C on the transmitter
until the sound is optimally
adjusted to your needs
(see page 18).
Do you use a plasma
TV screen?
Make sure that the transmitter is
placed as far as possible from your
plasma TV screen (see page 6).
Is the receiver still
within the transmitter’s range?
Move the receiver closer to the
transmitter. If necessary, switch
the receiver on again.
26
Additional technical information
The loudspeakers of your TV are muted
Possible cause Solution
Some TVs have a
function that mutes
the loudspeakers
when you connect a
transmitter.
Via the operating menu of your TV,
check if and how the muting can be
deactivated.
Use a different audio socket on
TV or use the MKE 800 TV-N
your
external microphone.
If a problem occurs that is not listed in the above tables or if
the problem cannot be solved with the proposed solutions,
please contact your Sennheiser partner for assistance.
Additional technical information

volume differences by boosting the volume of quiet sounds and
reducing the volume of loud sounds if necessary.
Compression seems to put the speech in the foreground, making it
easier to understand.
Compression is self-regulating; once it has been activated, it is not
necessary to make any other settings.
Treble boost (settings 2 and 3)
Another typical age-related phenomenon is the deterioration of the
hearing with regard to high frequencies. However, high frequencies are
important for the intelligibility of speech.
The treble boost makes the speech clearer and easier to understand.
With the treble boost (settings 2 and 3), additional fine adjustment is
possible using the treble boost control
G at the rear of the transmitter.
왘 Use a screwdriver to turn the treble boost
control
G to the left or right until the sound
can be heard very well.
The position “0” corresponds to a minimum
boost, the position “MAX” corresponds to a
maximum boost, and the control is factorypreset to the medium position.
Function of the treble boost control
By means of the transmitter’s steplessly adjustable treble boost
control

Changing the operating mode
The transmitter can be set to a different operating mode. This is useful
when the sound of your sound source is very low and the transmitter
therefore does not always switch on automatically.
왘 Press the “speech intelligibility” button
for approx. 5 seconds.

Particularities of operating mode 2:
In operating mode 2, the transmitter is not switched on by the sound
signal from the sound source.
