- Analog Input: Use the provided 3.5mm jack cable to connect your TV's headphone output or audio out ports to the 'Analog In' port on the transmitter.
- Digital Input: Use an optical cable (not always included, check package contents) to connect your TV's optical audio output (TOSLINK) to the 'Digital In' port on the transmitter.
- Microphone Input (Optional): If you wish to use an external microphone, connect it to the 'Mic In' port on the transmitter.

Operating Instructions
The Earis Premium headset is designed for intuitive operation:
- Automatic On/Off: The headset automatically turns on when worn and turns off when removed, conserving battery life.
- Volume Control: Adjust the listening volume directly on the headset using the large rotary wheel. Rotate clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease. An LED display indicates the current volume level.
- Sound Profiles: The system offers 5 different sound profiles. You can select your preferred profile on both the transmitter and the receiver to optimize your listening experience.
- Audio Balance: Use the rotary balance knob on the back of the headset to compensate for unilateral hearing loss, adjusting the sound balance between the left and right ears.
- Ambient Sound Amplification (Communication Function): Press the dedicated button on the headset to switch between TV audio and ambient sound amplification. This allows you to hear conversations around you without removing the headset. This function can also be used independently of the transmitter, making it a portable hearing aid.
