HEADPHONE JACK (fig. 1)
On the front panel is a 3.5mm mini phone jack to accommodate a standard mono or stereo type 3.5 mm plug. The
unit will drive low or high impedance earphones. The jack is also the receiver antenna input with the earphone cord
acting as the antenna. The cord length is not critical but must be at least 6 inches minimum.
OUTPUT DRIVE LEVEL ADJUST (fig. 2)
On one side of the receiver unit is a sliding door covering an Output Max Level screwdriver adjust potentiometer.
The potentiometer can be adjusted to match high or low impedance earphones to prevent blasting.
MONO PLUG/STEREO PLUG SWITCH (fig. 2)
Also behind the sliding door is a Mono/Binaural switch. When
using a single earphone with a mini phone plug (tip & shield), set
the switch to MONO PLUG. To provide Monaural output to both

Warning! Do not insert a mono plug with the switch in the STEREO plug position. This
will short the jack ring to the sleeve and cause high distortion and short battery life.
MAX LEVEL (fig. 2)
Headphones and ear pieces vary widely in their sensitivity and their impedance making it impossible to design a
receiver with a fixed output power level that is correct for all situations. The MAX LEVEL control on the side of the
receiver is used to adjust the maximum power that can be delivered to the user selected headphones. Low imped­
ance phones (16 to 50 Ohms) will have the MAX LEVEL control set in a counter-clockwise direction to limit the
maximum output power to a reasonable level. High impedance phones (600 to 2000) Ohms) will have an inherently
lower power level due to their high impedance.
ADJUSTING THE MAX LEVEL CONTROL
Set the control fully counter-clockwise (minimum power level) then adjust the front panel volume control for the
desired gain. If there is excessive distortion on loud sounds adjust the MAX LEVEL clockwise thereby increasing the
power level. Use only the power level necessary for safe hearing levels.
