2. Open the compartment cover.
3. Insert 2 AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).

2. Connect the Transmitter to an Audio Source

The transmitter is compatible with virtually all audio devices. Use the provided cables to connect the transmitter to your desired audio source (e.g., TV, stereo, DVD player, MP3 player, PC).

• For RCA Audio Outputs: Connect the RCA plugs from the transmitter to the corresponding audio output jacks (usually red and white) on your audio source.
• For 3.5mm Headphone Jacks: Use the appropriate adapter cable (e.g., RCA to 3.5mm) to connect the transmitter to the 3.5mm headphone output of your device.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On

• Turn on the transmitter unit. An LED power indicator on the transmitter should illuminate.
• Turn on the headphones using their power switch.

2. Automatic Signal Lock

The headphones are designed to automatically lock onto the transmitter's signal. Once both units are powered on and the transmitter is receiving audio, the headphones should receive the signal.

3. Adjust Volume

Use the rotary volume control located on the headphones to adjust the listening volume to a comfortable level.

4. Wireless Range

The transmitter broadcasts a signal up to 100 feet (approximately 30 meters) in an open environment. Obstacles such as walls and other electronic devices may reduce the effective range.

5. Power Off

To conserve battery life, turn off both the headphones and the transmitter when not in use.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the headphones and transmitter with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.

Battery Replacement

Replace batteries when the sound quality degrades, the LED indicator dims, or the units fail to power on. Always use fresh batteries of the specified type (2 AAA for headphones, 1 9V for transmitter).

Storage

When storing the headphones for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound:
  • Ensure both headphones and transmitter are powered on.
  • Check that batteries are correctly installed and not depleted.
  • Verify the transmitter is properly connected to the audio source.
  • Confirm the audio source is playing and its volume is turned up.
  • Adjust the volume control on the headphones.
• Static or Poor Sound Quality:
  • Move the transmitter closer to the headphones.
  • Ensure there are no major obstructions (e.g., thick walls, large metal objects) between the transmitter and headphones.
  • Check for interference from other wireless devices. Try repositioning the transmitter.
  • Replace batteries in both units.
• Short Wireless Range:
  • Ensure the transmitter is placed in an open area, free from obstructions.
  • Replace the transmitter's 9V battery.
