General notes Signal word Meaning DANGER! This combination of symbol and signal word indicates an immediate dangerous situation that will result in death or serious injury if it is not avoided. CAUTION! This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a pos‐ sible dangerous situation that can result in minor injury if it is not avoided.
Safety instructions 2 Safety instructions Intended use This device is intended to be used for the wireless transmission of audio signals to earplugs. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other oper‐ ating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.
Safety instructions DANGER! Electric shock caused by high voltages inside Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. DANGER! Electric shock caused by short-circuit Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐ tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire.
Safety instructions CAUTION! Possible hearing impairment The use of earphones at high volume over a longer period of time can cause per‐ manent hearing damage. Adjust the output volume of your audio device to a medium value and use the earphones no longer than about one hour a day. NOTICE! Operating conditions This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations.
Safety instructions NOTICE! Power supply Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively. Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched 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 Inserting batteries into the receiver Make sure that the main switch / volume control (17) of the receiver is in ‘OFF’ position. Simultaneously press on both snap-in locks of the battery compartment at the side and pull it completely out of the receiver. Open the battery compartment lid by sliding the lid in arrow direction and then folding it up. Insert the batteries respecting the correct polarity. Close the battery compartment, the lid must snap-in firmly.
Installation and starting up Phone socket for earplugs Starting up the system Drawing and table indicate the pin assignment of a 1/8" TRS mini phone plug for stereo use. 1 Signal (left) 2 Signal (right) 3 Ground, shielding n Make sure that both transmitter and receiver are switched off. The transmitter display is dark. n Attach the receiver with the clip to your belt or guitar strap. n Carefully insert the earplugs into the ear canal, observing the markings ‘L’ and ‘R’ for left and right sides.

Troubleshooting 7 Troubleshooting In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.
Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy No sound 1. Check the power supply of the transmitter and receiver. 2. Make sure that both transmitter and receiver operate in the same frequency range and that the transmitting antenna is designed for this frequency range. The frequency range is stated on the devices. 3. Are both transmitter and receiver set to the same frequency group and the same channel? 4. Check the connection between the transmitter and the connected audio device (amp, mixer).
Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy 2. If you use more than one wireless system at the same time, check the used frequency groups and channels. 3. Interference can also be caused by televisions, radios or mobile phones. The sound is distorted 1. Change the setting of the level control on the transmitter (if available). 2. Turn the overload protection on. Also note the user manual that belongs to the transmitter. If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center.
