OPERATION

Hearing damage due to high volumes!

This receiver allows you to set higher volumes than conventional headphones. This can cause hearing damage in persons with healthy hearing and especially in children.

- Before putting the receiver on, set the volume on the receiver to a low value.

- Do not continuously expose yourself to high volumes.

1 Power on the transmitter. Switch on the audio source. The blue indicator LED on the transmitter will flash.

If transmitter and headset receiver are not connected with each other, press and hold the "PAIR" button on the receiver for about 5 seconds, the blue LED flashes quickly and the units will be connected.
3 Flex the head set arms outwards until the ear buds can be inserted in the ear. Please note the ear buds can be angled through a movement up, down or sideways, so as to enter the ear a little deeper. This will improve the sound quality and volume. Gently press the ear buds further into the ear to find a comfortable position for the ear buds and an ideal position for the sound.

4 Adjust the desired volume.

5 Adjust the tone clarity setting if necessary. To set the tone clarity briefly press the TONE button repeatedly.

• 2 short beeps: Bass boost and treble boost
• 3 short beeps: Bass boost
• 1 long beep: Flat

6 Adjust the balance (left/right) if necessary.

Note: When the battery level is low, the indicator LED sparkles in blue (Bluetooth mode) or in green (MIC mode). You will hear 3 beeps every minute and 1 double-beep in the forth minute. The receiver will switch off automatically in the fifth minute.

The MIC button

The microphone opening at the lower part of the receiver front picks up the sounds of your surroundings. When the microphone is switched on, you will hear your surroundings louder. You can hear for example your door bell, your telephone or your conversational partner even when you are wearing the receiver. Press the MIC button to switch the microphone on. The power on indicator will turn to green and one short beeps is to be heard. Make sure that the microphone opening is not covered!

You can hear your surroundings and you use the receiver as an assistive listening device which helps you to better hear other people.

Press the MIC button again to switch off the microphone. The power on indicator will return to blue and two short beeps are to be heard.

Caution: When switching between the microphone and music source please be aware that the volume level can change substantially dependant upon signal input levels. As a precaution the volume level should be lowered prior to switching between the microphone and music.
