Setup

1. Charging the Headphones

Before first use, fully charge the headphones. The battery is pre-installed. Place the headphones onto the transmitter base. Ensure the charging contacts align.

2. Connecting the Transmitter Base to an Audio Source

The CL7400 Opti transmitter base offers multiple connection options to your TV or other audio devices. Choose the method that best suits your equipment.

a. Optical Audio Connection (Recommended for Digital Audio)

Use the provided optical cable (TOSLINK) for digital audio output from your TV or audio device. This connection typically offers the best sound quality.

1. Connect one end of the optical cable to the "Optical Out" port on your TV or audio source.
2. Connect the other end to the "Optical In" port on the CL7400 transmitter base.
3. Ensure your TV's audio output settings are configured to "Optical" or "PCM" (if applicable).

b. 3.5mm Audio Jack Connection

Use the provided 3.5mm audio connection cable to connect to a headphone jack or audio output on your TV, radio, or other audio device.

1. Connect one end of the 3.5mm cable to the headphone output or "Audio Out" (3.5mm) port on your device.
2. Connect the other end to the "Audio In" (3.5mm) port on the CL7400 transmitter base.

c. RCA (Cinch) Audio Connection

Use the provided 3.5mm audio cable with the RCA cinch adapter for devices with RCA stereo audio output (red and white ports).

1. Attach the RCA cinch adapter to the 3.5mm audio cable.
2. Connect the red and white RCA plugs to the corresponding "Audio Out" ports on your TV or audio source.
3. Connect the 3.5mm end of the cable to the "Audio In" (3.5mm) port on the CL7400 transmitter base.

Note: Ensure the power supply is connected to the transmitter base and plugged into a wall outlet after connecting the audio source.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

• Power On: The headphones automatically power on when removed from the charging base and an audio signal is detected from the transmitter.
• Power Off: Place the headphones back on the charging base to turn them off and begin charging. The headphones will also automatically turn off after four minutes of signal loss from the audio device.

2. Adjusting Audio Settings (On-Headset Controls)

All essential audio adjustments can be made directly on the headphones for convenience.

• Volume Control: Use the + and - buttons on the headphones to increase or decrease the listening volume. The maximum amplification is 125 dB SPL.
• Balance Control: Adjust the left/right audio balance to suit your hearing preference. This is typically done via a dedicated slider or button on the headset.
• Tone Control: Modify the audio tone (high and low frequencies) to enhance clarity for different types of sound (e.g., speech or music). This control helps in customizing the sound profile to your specific hearing needs.

3. Using with Smartphones and Other Portable Devices

The CL7400 Opti headphones feature a 3.5mm audio input, allowing direct connection to smartphones, tablets, or other portable audio devices without the need for the transmitter base.

• Connect a 3.5mm audio cable (not included) from your smartphone's headphone jack to the 3.5mm input on the headphones.
• Important Note: When connected directly to a sound source like a smartphone, the headphones operate as standard wired headphones. The amplification functionality (up to 125 dB SPL) and wireless transmission only work when the headphones are used with their dedicated transmitter base.

Maintenance

Battery Care

• The headphones use a Li-Polymer 3.7V 1000mAh rechargeable battery.
• To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
• Store the headphones on the charging base when not in use to keep the battery topped up.
• If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place. Recharge every few months.

Cleaning
