Every wireless TV Ears system utilizes infrared technology to
send audio signals from the transmitter to the headset.
Infrared technology requires a direct line-of-sight from the
transmitter to the receiver (or headset) to successfully transmit
audio signals. Therefore, when installing any wireless TV Ears
system, you will have to be sure the transmitter has a direct
line-of-sight with the headset when the headset is in use.
For the best results, the transmitter should be placed on a at
surface that is three to ve feet from the ground and should be
facing directly towards the seating area where the headset will
be used. Make sure that nothing is blocking the signal between
the transmitter and headset (ie. books, newspapers, etc.).

Step 1 - Place & Power the Transmitter
8
This step explains where to place the transmitter for the best
performance as well as how to power the transmitter.
The infrared diodes on the transmitter must be in direct line-
of-sight with the headset when using the system for best
performance. There cannot be anything blocking the direct signal,
otherwise there will be no audio received and no sound heard.
Place the transmitter on a at surface that is 3 to 5 feet
above the ground. Be sure it is pointed to the seating area
where the headset will be used.
Plug the AC adapter into a standard electrical outlet or
surge protector.
Plug the end of the AC adapter into the port labeled “12V”
on the back of the transmitter. The correct port has a blue
border around it.
