USER MANUAL RSX 700 BEYERDYNAMIC

Thank you for selecting the RSX 700 wireless headphone system from beyerdynamic. Please take some time to read carefully through this manual before using the product. The RSX 700 wireless headphone system operates in the frequency range of

2.4 GHz. Reception is possible over a range of approximately 20 metres, even

through walls and ceilings, making it possible to move around freely within your home or outdoors. It is possible to operate several headphones with only one transmitter. Safety Information

• Only use the power adapter that was originally supplied with the transmitter. Make sure that the voltage rating of the adapter matches that of the AC mains outlet you are to use. If you connect the adapter to the wrong voltage, you may seriously damage it.

• The power adapter must be accessible to disconnect it easily from the mains if necessary.

• Always disconnect the power adapter when changing connection or moving the transmitter.

• Never open electronic components! This must only be carried out by authorised service personnel. Any such tampering by non-authorised persons can invalidate your warranty and could be dangerous.

• Use the devices in dry rooms only. You can also use the headphone outside in dry weather, but always leave the transmitter and power adapter inside the house.

• Never expose the power adapter to rain or water.

1.1 How to operate the Transmitter

• Choose a suitable place near your audio source (hi-fi system, CD/DVD player, television set etc.). To ensure noise-free reception you should not operate the transmitter in the immediate vicinity of radio equipment, mobile phones, microwaves or above the picture tube of TV sets or monitors.

• Do not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight or near metallic objects and avoid placing metallic objects onto the transmitter. Mains Connection

• Connect the cable to the socket on the transmitter and the power adapter to the mains socket. The power adapter of the transmitter can be connected permanently to the mains supply without harming the power adapter itself or the transmitter. Power on LED is illuminated red when the transmitter is active Channel selector to adjust the transmitting frequency Channel display, from 0 - 7 Important: “0” also indicates a channel.

• Connect the supplied audio cable and adapter cable to the audio input socket of the transmitter and preferably to the phono/RCA sockets of your audio source/hi-fi system. Important: Ensure that the polarity of the phono/RCA connectors is correct, i.e. right to right (red) and left to left (white).

• As an alternative you can use the headphone output (mini jack 3.5 mm;

6.35 mm (1/4") jack by using an appropriate adapter) of your audio source/

hi-fi system. Please note that in this case the volume must be turned up sufficiently.

• Switch on the audio source to which the transmitter is connected. When the transmitter receives a signal, the red Power On LED will illuminate. Attention:

• If the transmitter does not receive any signal, it will automatically switch off after approximately 3 minutes and the Power On LED will go out.

• If the transmitter receives a signal again, it is turned on automatically. The channel display , however, always indicates “0”.

2.1 How to operate the Headphone

How to insert/replace the Batteries

• Turn the left ear cup clockwise and remove it by pulling slightly.

• Insert the rechargeable batteries (AAA size,

1.2 V) according to the “+/-“ symbols into the

appropriate compartments . Attention: The rechargeable batteries must be charged before the first use (refer to chapter

3. “Charging of rechargeable Batteries”).

• If you use other rechargeable batteries instead of those supplied by beyerdynamic, you must remove a bit of the plastic jacket at the negative pole by using a knife or something similar to ensure contact to the lateral charging contacts inside the battery compartment.

• Instead of rechargeable batteries you use normal dry cell batteries.

Warning: Do not remove the plastic jacket of normal dry cell batteries,

as there could be danger of explosion, if you try to charge by mistake!

• Replace the left ear cup and turn it anti-clockwise by pressing slightly onto the ear cup until it locks into place. Important: Use the padlocked symbols as a location guide when the ear cup is replaced. Volume of the hi-fi system must be turned up sufficiently

Controls and Indicators

• Switch the headphone on . The Power on LED will illuminate green. Switching off

• Switch off the headphone after use . The Power on LED goes out. How to adjust the Reception and Volume

• Place the headphone on your head observing the left and right indications. Use the buttons and to set the volume to suit your requirements. Use the button to increase the volume; use the button to reduce the volume.

• Use the channel button to scan and set the receiving frequency of the headphone automatically to the frequency of the transmitter.

• You should now be able to move freely from one room to another.

• Important: Do not set the volume too high, because it can damage your hearing or cause existing hearing damage to deteriorate. How to change the Frequency

• If noise caused by other devices or interferences occur, change the frequency of the transmitter and use the channel button of the headphone to scan and set the receiving frequency automatically.

• Important: When the transmitter is turned off, the channel is saved. The channel display , however, always indicates “0”. LED Indication / Operating Time

• When the batteries are empty, the Power on LED will go out. The operating time with rechargeable batteries is around 6 hours.

• Depending on the volume setting, the approximate operating time can differ from this value.

3. Charging of rechargeable Batteries

• Make sure that rechargeable batteries are inserted (no normal dry cells).

• Switch the headphone off and connect the charging cable to the charging socket of the headphone.

• Connect the other end of the charging cable to the charging socket of the transmitter.

• During the charging process the Power on LED of the headphone will illuminate red. The Power on LED continues to illuminate red even when the rechargebale batteries are fully charged.

• When charging the batteries for the first time, they are fully charged after approximately 24 hours and you can finish the process. Thereafter, the batteries are fully charged after 6 to 8 hours. Important:

• If you interrupt the charging process, the operating time of the battery will be greatly reduced. If the charging process is re-activated again, it takes up to 14 hours until the batteries are fully charged depending on the charging state.

• Rechargeable batteries have a life span dependent on the amount of use and will eventually need to be replaced by new ones. New battery packs can be obtained from your beyerdynamic dealer.

• You can also use an appropriate external charger for charging the batteries outside the headphone.

• If you do not intend to use the headphone for several weeks or months it is recommended that you remove the batteries as they may leak and cause damage to the components. Even “leak-proof” batteries should be removed as a precaution.

• Please do not throw used battery packs away with your household rubbish, take them to your local collection points. Connect the power adapter to the mains socket and to the transmitter Connect the charging cable to the headphone and the transmitter

• Use a damp cloth for cleaning the transmitter and headphone, taking care not to allow any water to enter the transducers. Never use solvent agents.

• With time, ear pads will need replacing. These can be obtained from your beyerdynamic dealer.

• To replace them, remove the old ear pads by turning them clockwise. Place the new ear pads on the housing and turn them anti-clockwise to tighten.

5. Tips for a noise-free Reception

• If interference or problems with the transmission range occur, you should place the transmitter in another area.

• If the reception does not improve, disconnect the transmitter from the mains and check the frequency range with the headphone by pressing the channel button several times. If the headphone remains silent, the conditions are clear.

• However, if you hear noise, speech or music, then there is another wireless headphone, baby phone, walkie talkie etc. in operation, which is interfering with the reception. In this case you should change the frequency for the transmitter and headphone by pressing the channel button .

• The headphone has an integrated squelch function. This means that, when you are outside of the reception area or when the transmitter is switched off, the squelch function is activated and the headphone is muted. As soon as you are within the reception area the transmitter signal can be heard again.english
