Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your AudioRange ITE-1000 Wireless TV Headset:

1. Charge the Headset: Place the headset onto the fast-charging dock. Ensure the prongs on the headset align with the charging contacts on the dock. The headset will begin charging automatically.
2. Connect to TV Power: Plug the charging dock's power adapter into a wall outlet.
3. Connect to TV Audio: The AudioRange ITE-1000 is compatible with most TVs. Choose the appropriate audio cable based on your TV's available output ports:
   • Digital Optical Audio Out (Recommended for best quality): Use the included optical cable. Connect one end to your TV's "Digital Audio Out (Optical)" port and the other end to the "Optical" input on the charging dock. Note: Your TV's audio format may need to be changed to "PCM" or "Stereo" for headphone use. Consult your TV manual if needed.
   • RCA L/R Audio Out: Use the included RCA cables (red and white). Connect them to the "Audio Out" (red and white) ports on your TV and the corresponding "Audio In (Stereo)" ports on the charging dock. Ensure these are "Audio Out" ports, not "Audio In".
   • 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Use the included 3.5mm audio cable. Connect one end to your TV's headphone jack and the other end to the "Audio In (Stereo)" port on the charging dock. Note: This connection may disable audio from your TV speakers for private listening.
4. Power On: Once connected, the system is ready to use. No complex pairing or passwords are required.

Operating Instructions

The AudioRange ITE-1000 is designed for ease of use. Here's how to operate your headset:

• Wearing the Headset: Gently place the headset around your neck with the earbuds positioned comfortably in your ears.
• Volume Control: Use the "VOL" dial on the headset to adjust the overall volume to your preferred listening level. The headset offers up to 130dB max volume for those with mild to moderate hearing loss.
• Tone Adjustment: Use the "TONE" dial to customize the voice clarity. This helps in making dialogue clearer and more understandable.
• Balance Adjustment: For individuals with different hearing levels in each ear, use the included small screwdriver to adjust the "BAL" (balance) control. This allows you to manually adjust the sound balance between the left and right earbuds.
• Microphone Feature: Press the "MIC" button to activate the built-in microphone. This allows you to hear conversations and sounds in your surrounding room without removing the headset, making it easy to interact with others while watching TV.
• Simultaneous Listening: The system allows you to listen to the TV through the headset at your desired volume, while others can listen to the TV speakers at their own volume.
