Warnings
The TV adapter is not a toy and therefore should be
kept out of the reach of children and anyone else who
might swallow parts or otherwise cause injury to
themselves. Special attention should be paid to the
smaller components in order to prevent children from
swallowing them and choking.
If a part is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
The safety of the use of the TV adapter with an auxiliary
input cable is determined by external signal source.
When the input cable is connected to mains operated
equipment, this equipment must comply with
IEC-60065, IEC-60601 or equivalent safety standards.
The TV adapter is designed to comply with the most
stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic
Compatibility. However, the TV adapter might cause
interference with other medical devices. Please
contact relevant personnel to obtain permission before
using the TV adapter in hospitals or similar venues.
The TV adapter must never be washed or immersed in
water or other liquids.

(less than 1 ft/30cm between devices).
1. Press the SoundGate Bluetooth® key for
5seconds until the blue light starts flashing
rapidly.
2. The two devices are now establishing a connection
with each other. Wait one minute.

to the SoundGate and the pairing is complete.
The orange STATUS indicator on the
TV adapter will show a solid light.
Pairing should be completed only once and will
normally not have to be repeated.

Using the SoundGate and Support
Place the TV adapter in a suitable spot close to the TV.
To use the SoundGate with the TV adapter, refer to the
TV Adapter User Guide.
Turn off the TV adapter
The TV adapter uses very little power so it is not
necessary to turn it off.
TV sound range
The TV adapter has a range of about 30 feet /10 meters,
depending on room furniture and placement.
Connection with SCART adapter
If you connect the TV adapter with the SCART adapter
you will only hear audio from the TV tuner with the
TV adapter. Audio from other sources such as DVD or
VCR will not be played. This is a limitation of the SCART
connector.
