Installation and starting up 4 Installation and starting up 4.1 General Information Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively. Create all connections while the device is off.
Installation and starting up Notes on wireless transmission n This device utilizes frequencies that are not harmonized within the European Union (EU) and therefore may only be used in certain EU member states. In all European countries, the frequencies used for the transmission of audio signals are strictly regulated. Before you start, make sure the frequencies are allowed in the respective country and check whether the operation must be reported to the appropriate authority.
Installation and starting up 4.2 Dealing with lithium batteries WARNING! Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium bat‐ teries can cause severe injuries. Follow the advice on the correct handling of lithium batteries in the present sec‐ tion. When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk. Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
Installation and starting up Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lithium bat‐ teries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose. Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape. Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extinguish a burning lithium battery.
Installation and starting up 4.3 Receiver Connect the voltage supply NOTICE! External power supply The device is powered by an external power supply. Before connecting the external power supply, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual cur‐ rent circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and pos‐ sibly the user.

Troubleshooting 9 Troubleshooting In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting: Symptom Remedy No sound 1. Check the power supply of transmitter and receiver. 2. Make sure that transmitter and receiver are operating in the same frequency range. The frequency range can be found on the devices. 3. Are transmitter and receiver set to the same channel and ID? 4.
Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy 6. Make sure that no metal objects near the transmitter or receiver obstruct the transmission. Transmission is interrupted 1. Modify the orientation of the antennas. 2. If you use more than one wireless system at the same time, check the used frequencies and channels. 3. Interference can also be caused by other radio or in-ear systems. If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.
