Headphone Receiver Operation

Initial Setup & Charging:

For first use, charge the headphones sufficiently. Place the headphone on the transmitter's charging dock. The transmitter's GREEN CHARGE LED will illuminate when contacts are aligned. Charging takes approximately 6 hours. The GREEN LED will turn off when charging is complete.
Ensure the wireless headphone is turned OFF before charging.
To replace rechargeable batteries: Rotate the ear pad holder, remove it from the headphone cabinet. Install 2 pieces of AAA size rechargeable batteries (supplied by ARTISTE) into the battery compartment on the RIGHT SIDE, ensuring correct polarity ([Battery Symbol] / [Battery Symbol]). Restore the ear pad.

Using the Headphones:

Turn on the headphone by pressing the Power button for about 2 seconds. The LED will light up [Red Light], then change to [Green Light] when an audio signal link is established with the transmitter. If no signal is detected, the LED remains [Red Light].
Adjust the headband for a comfortable fit and place the headphone on your head.
Use the Volume Control on the headphone to set the desired sound level.
If interference or poor signal occurs, the headphone will mute, the LED will turn [Red Light], and the system will automatically search for another channel.
When headphone batteries are low, the LED will blink [Red Light]. You will hear beeping sounds every minute for the last 5 minutes of operation, after which the headphone will automatically switch off.

Automatic Power Saving:

The transmitter automatically enters Stand-by Mode if no audio signal is detected for approximately 5 minutes (LED OFF). It will reactivate automatically when an audio signal returns (LED glows BLUE).
The headphone will switch off automatically if there is no signal from the transmitter for about 5 minutes.

Installation Transmitter

Plug the AC/DC power adaptor into the DC IN socket on the rear of the transmitter and connect it to an electrical wall outlet.
Connect your audio source (TV, PC, DVD, iPod, MP3, or Smartphone) to the transmitter's audio output jacks using the appropriate cable (audio socket, optical socket, or coaxial socket).
Select the correct input switch setting:
- For TV/DVD/Hi-Fi, switch to -8dB.
- For CD/MP3, iPod, or Smartphone, switch to 0dB.
Use the input selection switches:
- Switch to OPTICAL when using the optical cable.
- Switch to COAXIAL when using the coaxial cable.
- Switch to AUDIO when using the 3.5mm or RCA cable.

Operation Notes

For initial use, please charge the batteries for 6 hours.
If the headphones are not in use, place them back on the transmitter to charge and conserve power.
