1 User Information
1.1 Purpose
This document describes the features, functionality and usage of the P 214 headphone featured by
Kleer technology. It contains and specifies all relevant information about the headphone’s
appearance and the environment it is designated to be used in.
2 Main Features
Lossless digital audio wireless
transmission
Rich sound through 40 mm transducer
Folding mechanism for easy storage
Comfortable through ergonomic fit and
gimbaled earphones
Adjustable from children to adults
2.1 Product Description
P214 is wireless stereo headphones, featuring Kleer technology for lossless digital audio
transmission and operates in 2.4GHz ISM band. They are designed for individual entertainment in
vehicles and meets the relevant requirements, such as widened operating temperature range, low
battery consumption for longer battery life and low signal latency for lip-sync. The channel switch
provides the facility to select between two different sources.
P214 is powered with two AAA batteries. Both, disposable and rechargeable can be used. An LED
indicates the functional state, but also turns from green to red when the batteries’ voltage reaches
the low level to signalize that they have to be changed soon.
Acoustical characteristic is semi-closed with supra-aural earphones. Sound radiation to the
environment is low, so that other passengers will not be disturbed.
The mechanic design guarantees comfortable wearing constantly for several hours.

3 Technical Concept
3.1 Acoustic
Acoustic characteristic is semi-closed with supra-aural earphones.
Sound radiation to the environment is low, so that other passengers will not be
disturbed. Radiation at comfortable listening level is below car background
noise, based on noise-level of modern cars.
3.2 Application
The headphones will be used in Daimler vehicles with audio/video systems for max. 5 seats and 4
individual stereo audio programs at the same time (= 4 transmitter).
A broadcasting capability of each transmitter up to maximum four receivers is granted.
3.3 Design
P 214 is designed to combine the comfort and acoustical performance of high class headphones
and the requirements for automotive headphones that share a common mechanical and acoustical
basis.
Comfort is provided by ergonomic adjustment features. The head-bow slider covers head sizes
from children to adult. Gimbaled ear cups adjust to individual head-shapes and ear-position.
3.4 Size Adjustment
The headphones are designed for children and adults. Size adjustment is realized through sliders in
the head-bow. The sliding mechanism has several latches to remember the individual position.
3.5 Storage
The headphone can be folded for storage purposes.
3.6 Battery compartment
The battery compartment has a child-proof lock that can easily be opened with a coin, credit-card or
something similar.

- to open the battery compartment - flip battery compartment cover upwards. As you do so,
hold the left-hand side of the headphones to prevent the batteries from falling out.
- Remove the discharged batteries from the tray
- Insert the new batteries. Observe the polarity markings on the batteries and battery tray
when doing so.
- To close the battery compartment – press battery compartment cover downwards until it
engages into place. If the batteries have been inserted correctly, the indicator lamp will light
up green when the headphones are switched on.
3.7 Power Supply
The headphone is powered with two AAA batteries*. Both, disposable and rechargeable can be
used. Auto-off-feature ensures that the headphone will turn off after 3 min. of no receiving RF signal
to avoid unintended discharge of batteries.
* Recommended: Energizer EN92 (included in delivery)
At low battery level the power-LED changes from green to red (see also Status Indication LED).

4.1 On/Off Button

When powered on, the headphone automatically starts in enrollment mode to get connected to the
Source (SRC sound transmitter) selected by the channel switch. If there should be no SRC found to
connect to, the headphone turns off after 3min (≈Enrollment Time-Out) to save the battery.
4.2 Source Selection
P214 has a sliding switch on the right ear-cup for selecting the SRC, user wants to connect to. The
two available switch positions are marked with “L” for left and “R” for right position on the rear seat.
On switching the source while operating, the connection to the current SRC gets terminated and
another one to the other SRC is established.

4.3 Volume Control
Volume power can be adjusted with an analog rotary potentiometer placed on the right ear-cup.
Before putting on the headphones, make sure that the volume has not been set too high!

NOTE:
“Using headphones at high volume levels, particularly over extended periods of time, may damage
your hearing.”
