Connection to power supply

Charging rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries 1 Set the POWER switch on the headphones to OFF. The batteries cannot be charged when the switch is set to ON. 2 Connect the DC out (for Receiver Charging) from the AC adaptor to the headphones. 3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. The charger starts charging the batteries automatically. Note: The usable area may differ depending on building structure, etc. The range becomes shorter in the following cases: In places such as inside an apartmentwith reinforced concrete walls, or whenthe transmitter and headphones areseparated by obstacles such as steel-reinforced doors.When items such asmetal furniture aresituated nearby.

Be sure to keep this unit more than 0.5 m away from concrete walls, metal furniture, etc. Charging time The battery can be fully charged in approx. 24 hours. During recharge the indicator lights in green, which will start to blink rapidly near completion. Blinking will gradually slow down or turn off at completion. When done, unplug the DC plug from the battery. Battery running time After charging is complete, you can use them continuously for approx. 20 hours. Tips for better use

Be sure to charge the batteries within the temperature range of 10˚C ~ 35˚C (50˚F ~ 95˚F).

Charging batteries that are not completely exhausted will cause efficiency to decline. Be sure to charge them after they have been completely exhausted. The usable area between the transmitter and the headphones is within a radius of max 100 m (based on measurements taken when placed in direct view in a straight line and no interference situation).Max: 100 m (Under controlled ambient conditions) HA-W500RF (EG)E.G 10/25/2002 12:54 Page 101312 ENGLISH
