Always remove the batteries from the headphone if the system will not be
used for a long period of time.
4Put the left ear cushion back into place.
Setting up the transmitter
5Make sure the adapter’s rated voltage indicated on the type plate
corresponds to the mains voltage supply.
6Connect the DC power output connector of the 12 Volt/ 200mA AC/DC
adapter to the DC POWER INPUT JACK at the back of the transmitter.
7Connect the 12 Volt/200mA AC/DC adapter to the mains socket.
Always remove the adapter from the mains socket if the transmitter will not
be used for a period of time.
Charging the headphone
8Place the headphone onto the energizing docking station, and make sure
the charging pins of the transmitter and the charging contact of the
headphone are well aligned.
The CHARGING INDICATOR light will be on automatically indicating
charging is taking place. At the same time, the headphone will power off
automatically (i.e. POWER ON/OFF INDICATOR lights off).
When charging is finished (which takes approximately 16 hours), the green
CHARGING INDICATOR light will also be off automatically.

IMPORTANT!
• The energizing docking station does not transmit audio signal
when charging is activated.
WARNING!
• Before using the FM headphone for the first time, please ensure
that the batteries are fully charged for at least 16 hours.
This will guarantee a longer operating lifetime of batteries.
• This product complies with the latest safety regulations.
Please only charge the batteries with the docking station provided
(SHC8545) or with fully compatible charger.
Audio Connection
9Connect one end of the audio cable (3.5 mm stereo plug) to the
transmitter’s 3.5 mm STEREO INPUT JACK.
10 Connect the other end of the 3.5 mm stereo cable to either:
a) The headphone output of an audio source, such as TV, HiFi or PC.
Adjust the volume level of the audio source to a fixed reasonably high level;
for example 25% of the maximum level.
• In case your audio source has a 6.3mm headphone output, use the
supplied 3.5mm to 6.3mm stereo adapter plug.
IMPORTANT!
• In case of certain TVs, the headphone jack output level can only
be adjusted after accessing the TV on-screen menu.
b) The line output of an audio source, such as REC OUT or LINE OUT
(with the Y-cable supplied).
•Check if the red RCA plug (right channel) is connected to the right
channel (red) of the audio source.
•Check if the white RCA plug (left channel) is connected to the left
channel (white) of the audio source.
• In case the audio source has an adjustable RCA output level,
adjust the output level to the highest acceptable undistorted level.
11 Switch on your audio source and carefully increase the volume of the
audio source.
The POWER ON/OFF INDICATOR of the transmitter lights up when
signals are received.
12 Switch on the POWER ON/OFF button of the headphone.
