It is connected to the power supply in alater step.4 Younow have 3options for connecting: A) Analogue audio connection, e.g. of aTV/hi- via 3.5-mm stereo minijack or an RCAadapter cable B) Optical digital connection of e.g. aTV/hi-/soundbar via Toslink cable C) Direct Bluetooth connection of aTV/hi-/soundbar to the stethoset headphones Attach cables according to the type of connection you wish to use.

8.1 Wired connection options

• The stereo minijack is often used to connect the headphones to aTV/hi- set. Simply connect one end of the stereo mini- jack cable to the headphone output of the TV set and the other end to the socket on the transmitter/charging station. To aid in nding the correct socket on the charging station (labelled no. 5ing. 4), it is coloured blue to match.

• RCAcables areoften used for external audio outputs of e.g. set-top boxes, hi- or TV sets to provide adirect audio signal (usually indicated by sockets coloured white and red). Connect the stereo minijack cable (blue plug) and the RCA adapter cable (red/white plugs): Insert the RCAplugs into the corresponding audio source (e.g. hi-,set-top box or TV). The colours indicate the right and left channels. Red always indicates the right channel. Connect the other end (blue ste- reominijack cable) to the socket of the transmitter/charging station. To aid in nding the correct socket on the charging station, it is coloured blue to match (socket no. 5ing. 4).

8.1.2 Digital audio connection via Toslink/ODTcable:

Connection by digital optical audio cable provides the highest sound quality of any cable connection (with no delay between the image and the sound). Remove the dust protector caps from both ends of the cable. Then connect one end to the TV/ hi-/soundbar and the other end to the transmitter/charging station. Please note that the plugs have guides. To aid in nding the correct socket on the charging station (labelled no. 7ing. 4), it is coloured black to match. If using awired connection (section 8.1.1 or 8.1.2) to the transmitter/charging station, please now select your desired input source (switch no. 6ing. 4).

8.1.3 First-time setup of headphones with the trans-

mitter/charging station Warning

Note Depending on your TV set, it may be muted when using the 3.5-mm audio headphone jack. Youmay need to adjust the headphone output volume in the conguration menu of the TV (for use with the wireless headphone system, we recommend setting the headphone volume to approx. 80 to 90 percent). The speaker volume of the TV usually remains unaffected by this setting. If not, it may need to be adjusted. Note Beforeusing the headphones for the rst time, make sure that the battery is fully charged. Charge the battery for at least 3hours beforethe rst use. Make surethat the headphones areswitched off during charging.

8.1.3.1 Enabling and connecting paired devices (trans-

mitter/charging station to stethoset headphones) Ensurethat when using the headphones for the rst time, they arenot connected to the charging station! Both the transmitter/charging station and the headphones arealready paired/synchronised when delivered. Now switch the stethoset headphones ON (switch labelled no. 1ing. 1). The LED on the stethoset headphones (g. 1, no. 2) starts ashing blue slowly.Now connect the mains adapter to the mains socket (g. 5). The transmitter/charging station rst ashes quickly (g. 3, LED no. 2). Then the ashing slows and eventually remains steadily lit once the connection has been successfully established. Beforeputting on the headphones for the rst time, rst turn the volume down. Now you can enjoy your analogue audio source (TV/hi- or other).

8.1.3.2 Pairing the transmitter and receiver (charging

station and stethoset headset) If your transmitter and receiver arrive unpaired (with both LEDs on the charging station and the chin bar ashing), then manual pairing is required.

• To do this, rst insert the network cable into the socket on the charging station (g. 4, socket no. 3inyellow).

• Make surethat the headphones areswitched off (g. 1, switch no. 1set to OFF).

• Now switch the headphones on (g. 1, switch no. 1set to ON).

• Press the microphone/pairing button (g. 2, button no. 6) for approx. 7seconds. The LED begins to ash BLUE quickly. Note If the LED is lit green, it indicates that you did not press the button for long enough. Repeat the procedure.
