dio cables.
1. Connect one end of the audio cable to the audio input
socket (13).
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the headphones
output socket of your hi- equipment.
If your hi- equipment has a 6.3 mm jack socket, con-
nect the adapter plug to the audio cable.
You may also connect the adapter cable to the cable to
use the Cinch audio outputs of your hi- equipment.
3. Plug the small plug at the cable end of the mains adapt-
er into the power socket (12).
4. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.

EN Charging the Battery of the Wireless
Headphones
Please charge the battery before using the product for the
rst time. A charging cycle takes approx. four hours.
Connect the integrated mains adapter to the transmitter
cradle and to a wall outlet.
■
Place the headphones onto the cradle as shown below.
The chargingcontacts (16) of the transmitter cradle must
touch the charging contacts of the headphones (7).
The power and charge indicator (18) of the transmitter cra-
dle will light up orange while the battery is charging. When
the charging process is completed, the power and charge
indicator will light up green.
If you place the headphones onto the transmitter cra-
dle while they are switched on, they will be switched o
automatically.
Powering the Headphones On/O
If the battery level of the headphones is high enough (the
power and charge indicator (12) on the transmitter must
be green), you may remove the headphones from the
transmitter cradle.
You may optionally power the headphones using conven-
tional batteries.

to switch them on. The power indicator (8) will light up
orange.
2. Press the On/O button of the headphones again to
switch them o. The power indicator then goes out.
Please remember to set the correct position for the
Power source DC1/DC2 selection switch (9). When set at
DC2 position, the device will power on only if charged
batteries have been inserted into the headphones.
Selecting the Operating Mode
1. Slide the mode selection switch (4) to the “WL” position
to use the wireless headphones to listen to an external
audio source (e.g. your hi- equipment).
2. Slide the mode selection switch (4) to the “FM” position

Thisindicates that the transmitter cradle is attempting to
7
EN
establish a connection with the headphones. Synchroniz-
ing the Headphones and Transmitter Cradle.
Synchronizing the transmitter cradle and the headphones
can take a while.
Powering the Transmitter Cradle O
You may power the transmitter cradle o whenever it is
not needed. When powered o, it will not transmit any RF
signals but the headphones battery will still be charged.
1. Slide the On/O switch (15) on the transmitter cradle to
the “OFF” position. The send indicator (17) on the trans-
mitter goes out.
You may optionally power the transmitter cradle using
conventional batteries.
Synchronising the Headphones
and Transmitter Cradle
After powering the headphones and the transmitter cradle
on, both devices should synchronize automatically. This
process may take a while (sometimes more than 1 minute),
but normally you just have to be patient.
Under unfavourable circumstances, however, the audio
signal may be subject to interference. This may happen
if you are using a baby phone or a wireless keyboard and
mouse set nearby. In this case you can synchronize the de-
vices manually to locate an interference-free channel.
1. Power the transmitter cradle on by sliding the On/O
switch (15) on the transmitter cradle to the “ON” posi-
tion.
2. Power on the connected audio source and start play-
back. The send indicator (17) on the transmitter cradle
should light up green.
3. Slide the mode selection switch (4) of your headphones
to the “WL” position.
4. Power the wireless headphones on by pressing the On/
O button (10) once.
5. Press and hold the synchronization button (2) of the
headphones and the synchronization button (14) of the
transmitter cradle for at least 1 second.
The RF reception indicator on the headphones (5) and
the send indicator on the transmitter cradle (17) start
blinking. As soon as both devices have synchronized,
both indicators will light up green.
6. If necessary, repeat step 5 if you are not satised with
the reception quality or you still have interference from
other devices.
Synchronizing the transmitter cradle and the headphones
can take a while. If there are many wireless devices nearby
using the 2.4 GHz RF technology, the transmitter cradle
andheadphones rst have to nd a free communications
frequency. Any frequencies that are already occupied by
other devices will not be used. This is also known as“WLAN
Skipping and Hopping”.
Adjusting the Volume
1. Press the VOL+ button (1) once or several times to in-
crease the sound volume.
2. Press the VOL- button (3) once or several times to de-
crease the sound volume.
8
EN If you have connected your headphones to an external au-
dio source, you may also adjust the volume directly on the
audio source (e.g. by using the remote control of your hi-
equipment). However, please remember that many audio
devices provide a constant signal level on their Cinch audio
outputs, thus not allowing a volume adjustment when us-
ing this type of connection.
Receiving Radio Stations
You may change the operating mode of your headphones
to FM radio reception at any time.
1.
Power the headphones on by pressing the On/O button
(10) once. The power indicator (8) will light up orange.
2. Slide the mode selection switch (4) of your headphones
to the “FM” position. The radio reception indicator (5)
will not light up if no radio station has been tuned-in. It
will light up green as soon as a station has been properly
tuned in.
3. Press the Search button (2) on the headphones once to
search for the next available station.
During radio station scanning the radio reception indicator
(5) will blink green.
4. Each press of the Search button will nd the next avail-
able station until the end of the FM band has been
reached. After this the scan will automatically continue
from the beginning of the FM band.
The FM signal reception depends on environmental con-
ditions. If the desired station cannot be received without
noise or interference, try changing your location.
The last tuned-in station will not be saved when changing
the operating mode or after powering the headphones o.
To use the built-in FM tuner it is not necessary to power the
transmitter cradle on. You may turn it o by pressing the
On/O button (15).
Using the Headphones with a Cable
If your location is close to the audio source and you don’t
wish to make portable use of your headphones, you may
use them with a normal cable connection. In this case you
don’t need the wireless capabilities of the transmitter cradle.
1.
Music output via the audio cable is possible while the
headphones are powered o. To save battery power, press
the On/O button (10) to power the headphones o.
2. Connect one end of the audio cable to the audio input
socket (6) of your headphones. Connect the other end
of the cable to the headphones output socket of your
hi- equipment.
If your hi- equipment has a 6.3 mm stereo socket, connect
the adapter plug to the cable.
You may also connect the adapter cable to the cable to use
any of the Cinch audio outputs of your hi- equipment.
With this type of connection, the headphones work as a
passive device. The volume can therefore only be adjusted
on the audio source.
Switching to radio reception is not possible during cable
operation. If you want to listen to radio stations, you must
rst disconnect the connection cable from the audio input
socket (6) of your headphones.
