Frequently Asked Questions - SBCHC8650 PHILIPS

What to do if I get no sound?

Check that the AC/DC adapter is properly connected to the mains and to the transmitter. Make sure the headphone is powered on (On/Off button on On). The headphone batteries may be low: place the headphone on the transmitter to recharge. Check that the audio source is on and producing sound. Increase the volume of the source and the headphone. Perform a tuning by pressing the tuning button on the headphone for 1 second.

The sound is distorted, what to do?

Adjust the headphone tuning by pressing the tuning button for 1 second. If necessary, change the transmitter channel (1, 2 or 3) and retune. Make sure the headphone batteries are charged. Reduce the volume of the audio source or headphone if too high. Move away from sources of interference (neon lamps, other radio devices) or get closer to the transmitter.

How to recharge the headphone batteries?

Simply place the headphone on the transmitter, aligning the charging contacts. The green indicator on the transmitter lights up during charging. Completely discharged batteries require approximately 16 hours for a full charge. The headphone switches off automatically during charging.

Can I use multiple headphones with one transmitter?

Yes, it is possible to use multiple compatible wireless headphones or speakers with the same transmitter, provided they operate in the 864 MHz band and detect a 19 kHz pilot tone. Check the specifications of your devices to verify compatibility.

How to tune the headphone to the transmitter?

Press and hold the tuning button on the headphone for about 1 second. The headphone automatically searches for the correct frequency and the red tuning indicator lights up. If this does not work, repeat the operation or change the transmitter channel.

What type of batteries to use in the headphone?

Use exclusively rechargeable NiMH LR03/AAA batteries (preferably Philips). Do not use NiCd or alkaline batteries, as this could damage the system. The supplied batteries are NiMH 550 mAh.

How to replace the headphone batteries?

Carefully remove the ear cushions. Remove the old batteries and dispose of them according to local regulations. Insert two new NiMH LR03/AAA batteries, respecting the indicated polarities (+/-). Replace the ear cushions. Before first use, charge the batteries for 16 hours.

Can I connect the transmitter to my TV's headphone output?

Yes, use the supplied audio cable: plug the 3.5 mm connector into the TV's headphone output and the RCA connectors into the line input of the transmitter (or vice versa depending on the chosen option). If the headphone output is 6.3 mm, use the supplied adapter. Use only one audio input at a time.

What to do if the headphone power indicator flashes?

Flashing indicates low batteries. Recharge the headphone by placing it on the transmitter. The red LED flashes when the charge is low. After 16 hours of charging, the green LED lights up when the headphone is charging.

What are the maintenance precautions?

Clean the housing with a slightly damp chamois. Never use alcohol, thinner, ammonia or abrasive products. Protect the device from excessive heat, direct sunlight, dust, moisture and shocks. Remove the batteries if you do not use it for a long period.
