Frequently Asked Questions - SBCHC8390 PHILIPS

How to charge the headphone batteries?

Open the headphone battery compartment, remove the batteries and place them in the charging compartment of the transmitter. The green indicator lights up. A full charge takes approximately 16 hours. Use only NiMH LR03/AAA batteries (preferably Philips).

What to do if I hear no sound?

Check that the mains adapter is properly connected, the headphone is turned on, the batteries are charged, the audio source is powered on and the volume is sufficient. Adjust the headphone tuning with the wheel. If the problem persists, try the other channel on the transmitter.

How to tune the headphone to the transmitter?

Turn on the headphone and rotate the tuning wheel until the signal is clear. The tuning indicator lights up. You can also change the transmitter channel (position 1 or 2) to improve reception.

Can I use other batteries than NiMH?

No, use only rechargeable NiMH LR03/AAA batteries (preferably Philips). NiCd or alkaline batteries may damage the system.

What is the maximum range of the system?

The transmission range can reach 100 meters in open field, with omnidirectional coverage (360°).

Can I connect multiple headphones to one transmitter?

Yes, it is possible to use several headphones or wireless speakers on a single transmitter, provided they operate in the 864 MHz band and detect a 19 kHz pilot tone.

What to do in case of sound distortion?

Check that the batteries are charged, reduce the volume of the audio source, move closer to the transmitter, change channel (1 or 2) and tune again. Keep the transmitter away from neon lights or other radio sources.

How to clean the transmitter and headphone?

Use a slightly damp cloth (water only). Never use alcohol, thinner, ammonia or abrasive products. Protect the devices from heat, humidity and shocks.

What to do if the power indicator does not light up?

Check that the mains adapter is properly connected to the transmitter and the outlet. Ensure the audio source is sending a signal (increase the volume). If the red light does not turn on, the transmitter may be defective.

Can the transmitter remain plugged in permanently?

Yes, but unplug the adapter if the transmitter is not used for a long period. Also remove the batteries from the headphone to avoid leakage.

Troubleshooting

If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair.

If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or service centre.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should you try to repair the set yourself, as this would invalidate the warranty.

Problem	Remedy
No sound	- Check if the AC/DC adapter is fully inserted into the AC outlet and that its DC connector is properly inserted into the 12 Volt DC input connector located at the rear of the transmitter.- Check if the headphone's on/off switch is in the on position.- Headphone batteries running low. Open the headphone's battery compartment. Take out the batteries and put them in the transmitter's recharging compartment for recharging.(See Headphone power supply)- Check if the audio source is switched on and tuned to a channel with audio.- Volume not adjusted. Adjust the volume on the audio source/ headphone to a higher level.- Adjust the headphone's tuning frequency. Turn the tuning knob until the signal is at its clearest.- Make use of the HC8392 transmitter. Some transmitters already built into other equipment may not be compatible with the HC8395 headphone because of the advanced technologies used in the HC8395 headphone.
Distorted sound	- Adjust the headphone's tuning frequency. Turn the tuning knob until the signal is at its clearest.- Adjust the transmitter's frequency. Select any of the 2 channels of the transmitter. Next adjust the headphone's frequency by turning the tuning knob until the signal is at its clearest.- Headphone batteries running low. Open the headphone's battery compartment. Take out the batteries and put them in the transmitter's recharging compartment for recharging.(See Headphone power supply)

Troubleshooting

Distorted sound

- Check the volume on audio source/ headphone is not set at too high a level. Reduce the volume.- Distance from the transmitter is too large. Move closer to the transmitter.- Interference from fluorescent lamps/ other radio sources. Move transmitter or headphone elsewhere/ change the transmitter's channel.- Make use of the HC8392 transmitter. Some transmitters already built into other equipment may not be compatible with the HC8395 headphone because of the advanced technologies used in the HC8395 headphone.

Maintenance

- If the headphone will not be used for a long time, please remove the batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion.- Only replace the batteries with LR03/AAA NiMH batteries (preferably Philips).- Do not leave the headphone near heat sources. Do not expose to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, rain or any kind of mechanical shock.- Do not use alcohol, thinner or petroleum-based substances to clean the headphone or transmitter. Use a slightly dampened chamois cloth to clean the housing.- Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives as these may harm the housing.

Hearing Safety! Continuous use at a high volume may permanently damage your hearing.
