• Do not use the devices in situations which require special attention
(e.g. when performing skilled jobs).
• Always keep the devices dry and do not expose them to extreme
temperatures.
• Use the devices with care and set them up in a clean, dust-free

required if the devices have been damaged in any way, such as
mains cable or plug damage, liquid has been spilled, objects have
fallen inside, the devices have been exposed to rain or moisture, do
not operate properly or have been dropped.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
the device and the mains unit to rain or moisture.
• Use only the supplied mains unit.
• Disconnect the mains connector from the wall socket
– to completely disconnect the device from the mains,
– during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Ensure that the mains unit is:
– always readily operable and easily accessible,
– properly plugged into the wall socket,
– not covered or exposed to direct sunlight for longer periods of
time in order to prevent heat accumulation,
– only operated within the permissible temperature range (see
“Specifications” on page 31),
– not operated near heat sources.

Putting the Set 830 S into operation
Putting the Set 830 S into operation
Setting up the transmitter
왘Place the transmitter so that:
– there are no obstacles in the light path between trans-
mitter and receiver and
– transmitter and receiver are not exposed to direct sun-
light. Direct sunlight may interfere with the reception
and may damage the transmitter.
If you are using a plasma TV screen:
Plasma TV screens radiate an infra-red signal that can
adversely affect the transmission quality.
왘Make sure that the transmitter is placed as far as pos-
sible from your plasma TV screen.
왘If necessary, use a standard extension cable (3.5 mm
stereo jack plug) to reduce the distance between trans-
mitter and receiver. This extension cable is available from
your Sennheiser dealer.
Note:
One transmitter can be used to transmit to several
receivers on the same frequency.
