Volume
• When using headphones/headsets, make sure that the
volume is set to minimum. Adjust the volume only after
putting on the headphones/headset.
Too high volumes and too long listening times can damage
your hearing. Hearing damage always represents an irre-
versible impairment of hearing.
• Always pay attention to the volume. As a rule of thumb,
the higher the volume, the shorter the listening time. By
law, the maximum allowed value is 85 dB at a maximum
listening time of 8 hours.
• Temporary symptoms that you have been exposed to loud
noise are:
– ringing or whistling in the ears
– high tones can no longer be perceived
Troubleshooting / rep irs
• Never open the device yourself.
• Refer all service work to authorised professionals only.
Cle ning
• Only clean the device with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Never use solvents, as these will damage the surface.
Rech rge ble b ttery
• The bodypack receiver is operated with the following
battery type: BAT-3707, lithium-ion, 3.7 V, 1.88 Ah, 6.96 Wh
(order no. 727.679)
• Use only a USB 2.0/3.0 compliant 5V power supply to
charge the battery pack via the integrated USB type-C port
(power consumption is max. 500 mA).

• High temperatures, particularly in association with a high
charging status, result in irreversible damage of the battery
pack.
• If you are not intending to use the battery for an extended
period or are planning to put it into storage, it is advisable
to lower the battery’s charging level to around 50% and
to store it at temperatures of maximum 30 °C.
• In order to ensure safe transport by land, sea and air, the
battery pack used for the bodypack receiver is tested
according to the UN 38.3 transport regulation for lithium-
ion batteries.
• Misuse or improper use could damage the battery pack.
In extreme cases, there is a risk of explosion, heat, fire,
smoke or gas.
• Never expose the battery pack to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
• Do not expose the battery pack to mechanical shock.
• Charge the battery pack before initial use.
• Use the specified chargers for charging the battery pack.
• Avoid complete draining of the battery. This could damage
the battery and shorten its service life.
• If you do not use the receiver for several months, the
batteries should be charged at least twice a year to prevent
deterioration in performance due to self-discharge.
• Clean the charging contacts of the receiver with a clean
dry cloth, if they become dirty.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.

english
Unite RP | RP-T – Bodypack Receiver 9
• The charging contacts could cause property damage,
njuries or fire damage if they come into contact with
conductive materials such as jewellery, keys or chains.
This can lead to a closed electric circuit and, therefore,
to the material overheating. To avoid this kind of uninten-
tional electric circuit, the charging contacts must be hand-
led with care. This is especially important if the receiver
is transported in a bag or another container containing
other metallic objects.
Moisture / he t sources
• Keep the battery pack clean and dry. Never expose the
device to rain or high humidity. Do not install it in the
immediate vicinity of swimming pools, shower facilities,
damp basements or other areas with unusually high air
humidity.
• Never place objects filled with water (e.g. vases or drinking
glasses) on the device. Liquids in the devices may cause
a short circuit.
• Never install or operate the device in the immediate
vicinity of radiators, lighting systems or other heat-gene-
rating devices.
Dispos l
At the end of its operating life this product may
not be disposed of along with normal household
waste. Please take it to a designated recycling
point for electric and electronic appliances. This
is indicated by the symbol on the product, the
operating instructions or the packaging.
