Safety instructions

Safety instructions

Please read this instruction manual carefully and completely before using the products.

Make this instruction manual easily accessible to all users at all times. Always include this instruction manual when passing the products on to third parties.

Do not use the products in situations which require special attention (e.g. when performing skilled jobs).

Always keep the products dry and do not expose them to extreme temperatures.

Use the products 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.

Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94“ (10 cm) between the ear cups and the cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator since the product generates permanent magnetic fields.

This stethoset 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 when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, when the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the products to rain or moisture.

Use only the supplied mains unit.

Disconnect the mains connector from the wall socket

to completely disconnect the products 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 29),

not operated near heat sources.

Putting the Set 840-TV system into operation

Putting the Set 840-TV system into operation

Setting up the transmitter

Choose a suitable place near your sound source (e.g. TV).

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 stethoset receiver are in the same room, so you can move around freely in the home or outside in the garden.

When the stethoset receiver leaves the range of the transmitter, it produces warning signals and then automatically switches off after 3 minutes.

One transmitter can be used to transmit to several stethoset receivers on the same frequency.

6

Putting the Set 840-TV system into operation

Connecting the transmitter to a sound source

Switch your sound source (e.g. TV) off before connecting the transmitter.

CI

Plug one end of the connection cable I into the blue socket C of the transmitter.

Check the available connection possibilities of your sound source (e.g. TV):

Connection possibility Name of connection possibility

A

Headphone socket

B

RCA socket

L

R

C

SCART socket

(SCART adapter included with

 

 

the EU version)

What if your sound source doesn’t have any of these connection possibilities?

Putting the Set 840-TV system into operation

AConnecting the transmitter to a headphone socket

Plug the other end of the

connection cable I into the

 

headphone

socket

on

your

J

sound source.

 

 

I

 

 

 

 

Is the plug on the connection

 

cable too small for the head-

 

phone socket?

 

 

 

 

Plug the

adapter

to

¼”

 

(6.3 mm) jack socket J onto the connection cable I.

Adjust the volume of the headphone socket on your sound source to a medium level.

This improves the quality of wireless sound transmission. For detailed information, please refer to the instruction manual of your sound source (e.g. TV).

With most TVs, the headphone socket is located at the front or sides.

BConnecting the transmitter to an RCA socket

Plug the audio adapter for

RCA socket K onto the con-

 

nection cable I.

 

K

Connect the red connector of

I

the audio adapter Kto the red

 

RCA socket R of your

sound

 

source.

 

 

Connect the white connector of the audio adapter K to the white or black RCA socket L of your sound source.

With most TVs, the RCA socket is located at the rear.

If your TV has several RCA sockets, use the socket RCA output.

Plug the SCART adapter L

I

L

onto the connection cable I.

 

Connect the SCART adapter L to the SCART socket on your TV.

If your TV has several SCART sockets, use the socket SCART output.

D Using the MKE 800 TV-N external microphone

What if your sound source doesn’t have any of the connections mentioned above? You can then use the optional MKE 800 TV-N microphone.

What if your sound source mutes the external loudspeakers if you use one of the connections mentioned above?

Via the operating menu of your TV, check if the muting can be deactivated.

If the muting persists, use the optional MKE 800 TV-N microphone instead of the connection cable.
