Helpline UK 0844 800 6503 (See page 29 for costs and hours of operation) GETTING STARTED Set up the receiver Charging and installing the batteries 1 Open the charging compartment on the transmitter and insert 2 rechargeable batteries. Make sure they are aligned with the correct pole (markings in the battery compartment). The charging dis- play will be lit red while the batteries are charging (approx. 5 hours). When the batteries are fully charged, the charging light will turn green. 2 Take the now fully charged batteries from the charging compartment on the transmitter and put them in the receiver. Open the battery compartment by relea- sing the lock and inserting the fully charged batteries. Make sure they are aligned with the correct pole (markings in the battery compartment). Close the battery compartment.

• Prior to initial use, charge the batteries in the charging compartment on the transmitter and then insert the fully charged batteries into the receiver.

• Charge the reserve batteries in the charging compartment on the transmitter so fully charged batteries are always available.

• Fully charged batteries provides up to 8 hours of listening enjoy- ment.

• To conserve battery power, the receiver automatically shuts off if no signal is detected for a period of approx. 5 minutes or when the level is too low. However, if the signal returns to an acceptable level, the transmitter will automatically switch ON again.21 Helpline UK 0844 800 6503 (See page 29 for costs and hours of operation) OperationOPERATION

Operation 1 Switch on the audio source (TV set or audio component) that the trans- mitter is connected to, the green audio signal indicator LED will glow constantly. 2 Switch the On/Off switch on the headset receiver to ON position. The Green Signal indicator LED blinks. It will light steadily when the headset receives the audio signal from the transmitter. 3 Adjust the volume for desired sound level, then place it on the head. 4 Select the preference of sound features (Standard, Treble, Mixed of Treble and Bass, Bass) by pressing the sound enhancement button. "Beeps" will be heard for every press of the button in the pressing cycle: 1 short beep: bass and treble enhanced 2 short beeps: treble enhanced 3 short beeps: bass enhanced 1 long beep: standard. 5 Adjust the left and right side volume using the volume control knobs to suit the individual ear hearing balance level requirement. Note: When the battery level is low you will hear 1 short beep every minute in the headset receiver and the red power indicator LED will blink slowly. After about 4 minutes you will hear a double beep sound and the headset receiver will be switched off automatically. Recharge the batteries or replace them with the fully charged spare bat- teries. Hearing damage due to high volumes! This receiver allows you to set higher volumes than conventional head- phones. This can cause hearing damage in persons with healthy hearing and especially in children.
