GETTING STARTED
Set up the receiver
Installing and charging the battery
1 Insert a battery into the receiver with correct polarity.
2 Charge the battery for about 3 hours before first use.
Switch off the receiver (position OFF).
Place the receiver into the charging cradle of the trans-
mitter. The charging process starts automatically. The
battery LED indicator will be red and will turn to green
when the battery is fully charged. This takes about 3
hours.
3 Insert the spare battery into the
base as indicated in the drawing.
The LED will remain red and turn
green when it is fully charged after
about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
• A fully charged battery provides up to 5 hours of listening enjoy-
ment.
• To conserve battery power, the receiver automatically shuts off if no
signal is detected for a period of approx. 5 minutes or when the level
is too low. However, if the signal returns to an acceptable level, the
transmitter will automatically switch ON again.

Additional earphone/headset jack
You may connect a usual earphone/headset (3.5 mm) to the socket placed
on the side of the receiver.
Please note, that the transmission via the neck-loop induction cable is swit-
ched off when an earphone/headset is connected.
External microphone
If your TV set or HiFi system does not have any audio jack you should use
the external microphone.
1 Connect the audio cable to the microphone.
2 Fasten the microphone holder using the adhesive strip adjacent to the
speaker grill on the TV and then clip the microphone into the holder so
that it locates just above the speaker.
3 Please initially set a low volume on the TV/Hi Fi system and adjust to the
required volume in conjunction with the volume control on the headset.
The position of the microphone has a decisive influence on the volume -
please determine the best position by experimentation.

Please make sure that the microphone is not too close to the transmit-
ter, otherwise this will result in interference being picked up by the
microphone which will be heard as digital noise in the receiver.

Operation
1 Switch on the audio source. The green indicator LED on the transmitter
will glow constantly.
2 Switch the On/Off switch on the receiver to ON position,
3 The neck-loop induction cable can transmit the audio signal to the hearing
aid device for listening (Note : any earphone/headset must be pulled out
from the 3.5 mm audio output jack).
4 Adjust the tone clarity setting to achieve optimum performance.
Note: When the battery level is low you will hear 3 beeps every minute
in the receiver. The receiver will be switched off automatically after 5
minutes.
The microphone button
The microphone opening at the side of the receiver pick up the sounds of
your surroundings. When the microphone is switched on, you will hear
your surroundings louder. You can hear for example your door bell, your
telephone or your conversational partner louder when you are wearing the
receiver.
Press the button to switch the microphone on. The power on indicator will
turn from green to red and two short beeps are to be heard. Make sure that
the microphone opening is not covered!
You can hear your surroundings and you use the receiver as an assistive lis-
tening device which helps you hear other people better.
To switch the microphone off press the button again. The power on indica-
tor will turn to green and you will hear the sound from the audio source.
Hearing damage due to high volumes!
• Before putting the receiver on lower the volume setting and gradually
increase the volume to suit.
• Do not continuously expose yourself to high volumes.

Tone clarity
You can set the tone clarity with the key on the transmitter. Press and
release the required key repeatedly. The current setting will be indicated by
the status of the three LED's.
The following table shows the settings. Try out which setting works best for
you.
Stereo / mono switch - transmitter base
Although the output from the neck loop will always be a mono signal, if the
source output is in stereo, the resultant output can be affected as follows:-
If you want both stereo channels from the source signal to be equally blen-
ded into a mono signal, switch to mono (this is the recommended setting).
Left or right channels can be partially filtered by switching to stereo and
adjusting the balance control on the headset.

Safety Information
Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.
Intended use
This device was developed to transmit audio signals from an audio source
like TV or HiFi device to a receiver, using cordless transmission. Any other
use is considered unintended use.
Unauthorised modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no cir-
cumstances open the devices or complete any repair work yourself.
Installation location and safety information
• Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals,
moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
• Furniture polish, over time, may disintegrate the rubber feet of the
transmitter which may stain your furniture. To avoid a potential
stain, you may want to place the transmitter on a pad or mat.
• This listener allows you to amplify sounds to a loud volume, but lis-
tening to earphones at a high volume over an extended period of
time may damage your hearing; especially in children. Thus, we sug-
gest that you set the volume to a level that is comfortable to your
hearing.
