Setup
- Connect the Transmitter to Power: Plug the power adapter into the transmitter's power input, then into a wall outlet. The transmitter's LED indicator should illuminate.
- Connect the Transmitter to Your Audio Source:
- For TVs/Audio Devices with Audio Out Ports: Connect one end of the provided audio cable (e.g., 3.5mm or RCA) to the AUX IN port on the transmitter. Connect the other end to the Audio Out ports (often labeled 'Audio Out', 'L/R Audio Out', or 'Headphone Out') on your TV, cable box, or other audio source. Ensure any necessary sub-harnesses (like RCA to 3.5mm adapters) are correctly connected.
- Important Note: Some TVs require specific audio output settings to be enabled in their menu. If you experience no sound, check your TV's audio settings. Connecting to a cable box's audio output may also be an option if the TV's output is problematic.
- Initial Headphone Charge: Place the headphones onto the charging stand. Ensure the charging contacts align. The headphone LED indicator should show a charging status (e.g., red for charging, off/green for fully charged). Allow for a full charge before first use (approximately 3-4 hours).
Operating Instructions
- Power On Headphones: Press and hold the Power button on the headphones until the LED indicator illuminates.
- Automatic Connection: The headphones will automatically search for and connect to the powered transmitter. The LED indicator on both units will confirm a successful connection (e.g., solid blue or green).
- Adjust Volume: Use the volume control on the headphones to set your desired listening level. Ensure the audio source (TV, stereo) volume is also at an appropriate level.
- Power Off Headphones: Press and hold the Power button on the headphones until the LED indicator turns off.
Charging
To charge your headphones, simply place them onto the charging stand. The headphones are designed to begin charging automatically when correctly seated. The LED indicator on the headphones will show the charging status. A full charge provides up to 10 hours of listening time.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the headphones and transmitter. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, store the headphones on the charging stand or in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Battery Care: For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the headphones frequently. Recharge them regularly.
