The Shift comes with 2 transmitters: Transmitter 1 is set to the BLUE channel
by default, while Transmitter 2 is set to the GREEN channel by default. They
must both be connected to a power source via the provided power cables in
order to function.
Plug Transmitter 1 into either:
1. A TV’s USB power port (we recommend this so that they auto power ON /
OFF in tandem with your TV), OR
2. A nearby wall outlet - 5V/500mA-2A rated USB charger (any phone
charger should work. Please contact [email protected] if you’d like
us to send you a free adapter)
You can then connect the transmitter to your TV’s audio ports. You can choose
one of 3 dierent ways to do this:
Plug the provided optical audio cable into the TV’s optical OUT or OPT OUT
port, then plug the other end into the transmitter’s optical port in the “INPUT
FROM TV” section.

OPTION 1 - Optical port (recommended)
NOTE: Most TVs support audio output through only one digital output port at a time,
so if your TV’s HDMI ARC port is in use, the optical port may be disabled. You can either
unplug the HDMI ARC, or try connecting the transmitter via RCA / AUX.

ON OFF
Shift headphones and transmitters connect via 3 dierent channels (blue /
green / white -- the white channel will only activate after pairing to a third
Shift transmitter). Swap the headphones’ channel to match the transmitter’s
channel in order for them to connect.
If using both transmitters in the same room, we recommend swapping the
transmitters to two dierent channels to avoid any interference (Transmitter 1
defaults to the BLUE channel, Transmitter 2 defaults to the GREEN channel).
Power Transmitter 1 on by sliding the switch to the ON
position. The channel indicator should light up BLUE. If not, tap the
button to switch to the blue channel.
