Connecting the charger to the mains 왘 Connect the connector of the mains unit to the socket 8 on the charger (12 V DC). 왘 Connect the mains unit to a wall socket. The charger is ready for operation. To disconnect the charger from the mains: 왘 Unplug the mains unit from the wall socket. Charging and replacing the rechargeable battery The rechargeable battery can be charged whilst installed in the A 200 or separately in the charging compartment at the side of the charger. 왘 Before using the rechargeable battery for the first time, charge it for at least 16 hours. With a fully charged rechargeable battery, the operating time is up to 12 hours. Charging the A 200 with the rechargeable battery installed 왘 After use, place the A 200 into the charging compartment without exerting too much pressure, making sure the Sennheiser logo is at the front. 왘 When the A 200 is placed correctly, the indicator A lights up green.

AUsing the A 200 personal sound amplifier 6 | A 200 Charging the rechargeable battery in the charging compartment at the side of the charger 1 Pull the rechargeable battery out of the A 200’s battery compartment. 2 Insert the rechargeable battery into the charging compartment at the side of the charger. When the rechargeable battery is inserted correctly, the indicator 0 lights up green. 3 Slide the rechargeable battery into the A 200’s battery compart- ment as far as it will go. With a spare BA 151 rechargeable battery (to be ordered separately), you can use the A 200 for more than twice the time. You can charge the spare rechargeable battery while using the supplied one and replace one with the other w hen needed. Using the A 200 personal sound amplifier WARNING Danger of hearing damage! Listening at high volume levels for long periods can lead to per- manent hearing defects. 왘 Before putting the A 200 on, set the volume to a low level. 왘 Then adjust a comfortable sound amplification. WARNING Interference due to magnetic fields! The product generates stronger permanent magnetic fields that could cause interference with cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators (ICDs). 왘 Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94” (10 cm) between the ends of the earbows with the ear pads and the cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator.

Switching the A 200 on/off 왘 Turn the on/off/sound amplification control 5 towards ON until you overcome a slight resistance. Adjusting the sound amplification You can choose between 6 different settings for the sound amplification

6. Position “1” corresponds to a low sound amplification

and position “6” corresponds to a very high sound amplification. 왘 Use the control 5 to adjust the volume to a sufficient and comfort- able level. 왘 If you hear a loud noise (feedback), turn the control 5 towards OFF until the noise disappears.

5Cleaning and maintaining the product 8 | A 200 Adjusting the balance The balance control allows for right/left volume adjustment. Adjust the balance so that you hear equally well with both ears. If necessary, have the balance adjusted by your hearing aid acoustician. 왘 Using a 2 mm slotted screwdriver, turn the balance control 3 to the left L or right R in order to increase the volume for the corre- sponding ear. Adjusting the bass attenuation 왘 Use the two supplied sealing tapes to seal the small holes in back of the headphone systems of the A 200. Cleaning and maintaining the product 왘 Before cleaning, disconnect the charger from the mains. 왘 Only use a slightly humid cloth to clean the product. The more holes you seal with the sealing tape, the greater is the bass attenuation. This increases the speech intelligibility without increasing the volume – which is an advantage for people with a hearing impairment at high frequencies. CAUTION Liquids can damage the electronics of the product! Liquids entering the housing of the product can cause a short-circuit and damage the electronics. 왘 Keep all liquids far away from the product. 왘 Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents.

Cleaning and replacing the ear pads The product is supplied with two pairs of ear pads in different fits. You can change to these ear pads to optimize the wearing comfort, if neces

sary. Other spare ear pads are available from your Sennheiser partner. 1 Carefully remove the ear pads from the A 200. 2 Clean the ear pads with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Let the ear pads air dry. Specifications A 200 personal sound amplifier Frequency response 200 - 12,000 Hz Max.
