Manual
Important safety information
왘 Please read this instruction manual carefully and completely before
using the product.
왘 Make this instruction manual easily accessible to all users at all times.
Always include this instruction manual when passing the product on to
third parties.
왘 This instruction manual is also available on the Internet at
www.sennheiser.com.
Preventing health problems
왘 Before using the product, set the volume to a low level. To protect your
hearing, avoid listening at high volume levels for long periods of time.
왘 Do not use the product in situations which require special attention
(e.g. in traffic or when performing skilled jobs).
The product generates stronger permanent magnetic fields that could
cause interference with cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators
(ICDs).
왘 Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94” (10 cm) between the ear
piece housing and the cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator.
Preventing damage to the product
왘 Always keep the product dry and do not expose it to extreme temper-
atures (normal operating temperatures: 5°C/41°F to 40°C/104°F).
왘 Use the product with care and store it in a clean, dust-free environ-
ment. 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.
왘 Switch the headphones off after use to conserve battery power.
Remove the batteries if the headphones will not be used for extended
periods of time.
Preventing damage to the power supply unit
왘 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the product to
rain or moisture.
왘 Unplug the mains unit from the wall socket to completely disconnect
the product from the mains, during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
왘 Only operate the mains unit from the type of power source specified in
the chapter “Specifications”.
2 | RS 220
왘 To prevent heat accumulation, always ensure that the mains unit is in
a safe operating condition and easily accessible, properly plugged into
the wall socket and not covered or exposed to direct sunlight for longer
periods of time.
왘 Only use the power supply units, charging cables and accessories
recommended by Sennheiser. An overview can be found on
www.sennheiser.com.
Important safety information
Intended use
Intended use of the product includes
• having read this instruction manual, especially the chapter “Important
safety information”,
• using the product within the operating conditions and limitations
described in this instruction manual.
“Improper use” means using the product other than as described in this
instruction manual, or under operating conditions which differ from those
described herein.
Safety instructions for the NiMH rechargeable batteries
If abused or misused, the rechargeable batteries may leak. In extreme
cases, they may even present
• a heat hazard,
•a fire hazard,
•an explosion hazard,
• a smoke or gas hazard.
Please understand that Sennheiser does not accept liability for damage
arising from abuse or misuse.
Keep away from
children.
Observe correct
polarity.
Do not expose to
moisture.
Only charge rechargeable batteries at
ambient temperatures
between 10°C/50°F
and 40°C/104°F.
Do not mutilate or
dismantle.
Immediately remove
rechargeable batteries
from an obviously
defective product.
Only use rechargeable
batteries specified by
Sennheiser.
Only charge the rechargeable
batteries in the headphones
(see page 14).
Pack/store charged batteries
so that the terminals cannot
contact each other – danger
of shorting out/fire hazard.
Switch rechargeable batterypowered products off after use.
When not using rechargeable
batteries for extended periods
of time, charge them regularly
(about every 3 months).
Do not heat above 70°C/158°F,
e.g. do not expose to sunlight
or throw into a fire.
Do not continue to use defective rechargeable batteries.
Dispose of rechargeable batteries at special collection
points or return it to your
specialist dealer.

Putting the RS 220 into operation
Setting up the transmitter
왘 Choose a suitable place near your audio source (e.g. TV, stereo or home
cinema system). Avoid placing 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 headphones are in the
same room, so you can move around freely in the home or outside in
the garden.

Connecting the transmitter to audio sources
You can connect up to 3 audio sources (e.g. CD player, DVD player and TV)
to the transmitter. The transmitter is fitted with 2 digital and 1 analog
inputs and outputs. If you connect several audio sources, you can conveniently toggle between these audio sources with a key press (see
page 21).
왘 Switch your audio source off before connecting the transmitter.
왘 Check the available connection possibilities of your audio source.

Adjusting the headband of the headphones
For good sound quality and best possible comfort, the headband has to be
adjusted to properly fit your head. To do so, adjust the headband 1 via its
snap-in locking mechanism:
왘 Wear the headphones so that the headband 1 runs over the top of
your head.
왘 Adjust the length of the headband so that
– your ears are completely inside the earpads,
– you feel even, gentle pressure around your ears,
– a snug fit of the headband 1 on the head is ensured.
