Wireless RS 65

Thank you for choosing Sennheiser! Over half a century of accumulated expertise
in the design and manufacture of high-quality electro-acoustic equipment have
made Sennheiser a world-leading company in this field. We have designed this
product to give you reliable operation over many years.
Please take a few moments to read these instructions carefully, as we want you to
enjoy your new Sennheiser product quickly and to the full.

System components and connections

Before proceeding, please check and make sure
the system components shown are all present and
correct (see illustration inside cover page).

Establish the necessary connections.

Charge the accupack for 24 hours before you
use it for the first time! (Please refer to the
section Charging the accupack.)

English

Where to place the transmitter

Choose a suitable place near your hi-fi system
or TV set.

Do not place the transmitter close to metal
objects such as shelf bars, reinforced concrete
walls, etc.

The transmitter features a convenient automatic
on/off function. The transmitter is switched on
by the audio signal. If there is no audio signal for
about 3 minutes, the transmitter automatically switches off. The transmitter is now
in stand-by mode, its power consumption is very low so that it can remain
connected to the mains. Accupacks can always be recharged when the transmitter
is connected to the mains.

Switching the headphone receiver off

Make sure to switch off the headphones after each

use and store the headphones in the transmitter’s
charging compartment to avoid discharging the
accupack.

N/OFF switch is on the right earpiece.

Wireless RS 65-7

Adjusting the volume

Set the volume of your sound source to a
medium value. With some devices, the volume
for the headphone output can be regulated
separately.

English

Use the V

OLUME control on the right earpiece

to adjust the headphones´ volume.

Adjusting the receiver channel

First switch on the transmitter (see section
Where to place the transmitter). Then switch on
the headphone receiver - as soon as the receiver
is switched on it automatically tunes itself to the
first strong signal found (normally the transmitter
frequency). If, for some reason, the selected
channel is not the correct one (eg: because of
interference or another nearby system), press the T

UNE button on the earpiece

and the auto-tune function will re-tune to the next strong signal. Repeat this until
you can hear the audio signal loud and clear. If you decide to change the
transmitter channel, the receiver search tuning must be re-started by pressing the

UNE button on the headphones again

T

Changing the transmission channel

To avoid interference caused by the
simultaneous operation of several transmitters,
select a different channel on each transmitter.
Depending on the system variant, two or three
switchable transmission channels are available.
To select a channel, press the C

HANNEL button

until the desired LED or LED combination
lights up:
LED 1 channel 1 active
LED 2 channel 2 active
LED 1 and 2 channel 3 active (except 863 MHz version).

Complete freedom of movement

It is not necessary that transmitter and
headphone receiver are in a direct line of sight, so
you can move around freely in the home or
outside in the garden. One transmitter can be
used to transmit to several receivers on the same
frequency.
Additional headphones with the designation
HDR 65 are available from your specialist dealer.
Please make sure to choose headphones with the same frequency range as the
transmitter you are using (see type plate on the bottom of the transmitter).

Wireless RS 65-8

Charging the accupack

For charging the accupack, place the

headphones into the transmitter’s charging
compartment (nb: make sure the headphones
are inserted the correct way round. The
Sennheiser logo on the headband must be
readable looking from the front - see diagram.
The charging contacts are on the RH earpiece
of the headphones - these are placed on the
corresponding contacts in the LH indentation of
the transmitter, the one next to t he “charge” light). The red LED on the t ransmitter
must light up to show charging is taking place.

Always store the headphones on the transmitter to ensure that they are fully
charged when they are needed. The headphones are automatically switched off
by the charging process.

BA 151 spare accupack

When the headphones’ accupack is going flat (noise, interference and distortion
are sure signs of a flat accupack), recharge the accupack. After an initial charging
of 24 hours, the normal charging time is 14 hours. A fully charged accupack has
an operating time of more than four hours. Place the discharged accupack in the
charging compartment at the back of the transmitter and use the spare accupack
in the meantime.

English

Additional BA 151 spare accupacks can be charged via the L 151-2 charger
(available from your specialist dealer).

Before disposing of an old and exhausted accupack, make sure that it is totally
discharged by using it until the device switches off. To protect the environment,
only dispose of totally exhausted accupacks.

Sound Retrieval System (SRS)

This device is equipped with SRS, a system that creates a full bodied three
dimensional sound image from a stereo signal. You can switch SRS
by pressing the S

URROUND button on the transmitter.

correctly adjusted?
