General use
The “TV Clear Transmitter 2” is a dedicated low-latency interface for
wirelessly connecting compatible headphones to TVs, hi-fi systems,
or other audio sources. The transmitter can be connected to an audio
source via a digital optical connection or an analog audio output.

The “TV Clear Transmitter 2” does not support standard Bluetooth
headphones, but uses a proprietary low-latency radio signal opti-
mized for use with TVs.

such as walls or the human body.
For best results, use the earbuds within line of sight of the connected
device.
If audio transmission is interrupted, reduce the distance between the
earbuds and the connected device and avoid any obstacles between
them.
