Maintenance
Replacing Ear Tips:
Your headset comes with foam TV Ears Tips attached. We also offer Silicone Ear Tips. The foam ear tips must be used
with black snap tip adapters; the silicone ear tips do not use snap tip adapters. Ear tips can be purchased from
TV Ears customer service.
The TV Ears headset receives an invisible infrared signal from the stack that is connected to the television.
Be certain that the infrared diodes located on the front of the stack are in direct sight with the front of
the headset to receive the signal. The infrared signal from the stack to the headset should be clear of any
obstruction (plants, books, furniture, etc.). The infrared signal cannot pass through walls or solid objects. The
headset can only pick up the infrared signal in the same room as the stack.
Step 2 | Removing the Headset after use
Always use two hands to place and remove your headset from your ears. Using one hand may loosen or tug on the
bow arms and damage your headset.
1. Remove the headset from the charging cradle of the transmitter.
2. The BALANCE control is located on the back of the headset. The balance comes set
equal to both ears. To change the balance of volume to the right and left ears, insert
the balance control tool into the opening and turn the tool towards the ear you want
to increase the volume to.
3. The writing on the front of the headset should face away from your body. The
infrared signal is received on the front of the headset.
4. Using both hands, gently separate the bow arms and place earpieces into each ear
(similar to placing a stethoscope).
5. The VOLUME control will be located on the RIGHT side. Rotate the dial to turn ON
the headset and set the volume to your comfort level.
6. The TONE control (bass and treble) will be located on the LEFT side. Rotate the
dial to adjust the tone to your preference.

Replacing the foam TV Ears Tips with new foam TV Ears Tips:
Note: Depending on usage, TV Ears Tips will become dirty and frayed. Replace TV Ears
Tips if they are soiled or show signs of wear. Do not re-attach or reuse ear tips after they
have become detached. For safety purposes, we recommend replacing TV Ears Tips every
30-60 days.
1. Use the top portion of the TV Ears Tips package to remove the ear tip from the
headset. Place the ear tip into the triangular cutout of the package.
2. Slide the ear tip to a corner and gently pull the ear tip off. The black snap tip
adapter should remain on the headset.
3. If a white o-ring remains on the tip of the snap tip adapter, remove it before
attempting to install a new ear tip.
4. Open the package of ear tips and place it on a level surface.
5. Place the pointed end of the snap tip adapter into the center hole of the new ear
tip and push down firmly until you feel the new ear tip snap.
6. Gently pull the headset away from the tray. Repeat with other ear tip. The ear tips
should now be installed.
