OPERATION

LISTENING SAFELY

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.

• Set the volume to the lowest setting

before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high vol-

ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not

increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.

USING YOUR
HEADPHONES

1. Turn on the audio source.

Note: If connecting headphones
does not automatically disable the
audio source’s speakers, turn off the
speakers.

2.

If you connected the transmitter to
an audio source's headphone jack
(or a jack that is controlled by the
audio source's volume control), set

LEVEL

on the back of the transmitter

about midway, then rotate the audio
source's volume control until the
indicator at the front of the transmit-
ter flashes. If the indicator does not

flash, rotate

LEVEL

clockwise until

the indicator flashes.

If you connected the transmitter to
an audio source's line output jack
(or a jack that is not controlled by
the audio source's volume control),
rotate

VOL

on the headphones fully

counterclockwise, then rotate

LEVEL

until the indicator flashes rapidly or
remains lit.

Note: Some audio sources might
not make the indicator flash. For
these sources, rotate

LEVEL

all the

way to the left.

3. Press the head-

phones'

POWER

ON/OFF

button to

turn on the head-
phones. The
POWER indicator
on the left earpiece
lights.

4. Rotate

TUNE

until

the STEREO indi-
cator on the right
earpiece lights.

5. Put on the head-

phones and adjust

VOL

on the right

earpiece to the
desired listening
level.
