Caution: Do not use other kinds of batteries to replace the Ni-Cd quick charge (AA) battery. When you are not using the headphone, please switch it off as the batteries can be damaged. OPERATION 1) Turn on the audio source (TV or audio component) to which the transmitter is connected. 2) Switch the ON/OFF switch on the headphone to ON. 3) Place the headphones on your head and adjust the volume control to the desired listening level. The adjustable headband lets you adjust the length of the headphones for a comfortable fit. 4) Tune the frequency adjustment control, located on the back of the transmitter, to a mid-level setting. Just rotate the thumbwheel knob up or down and leave it set approximately in the middle of the range. 5) Adjust the tuning dial of the headphone to the frequency of the transmitter for best reception. NOTE Headphone Base You should now be able to walk freely from room to room without disruption. If disruption should occur (signal breaks up), adjust the headphones tuning control to maximize stereo reception. If you hear interference from other components, re-adjust the tuning control. Move the control on the transmitter to a different setting, then adjust the control on the headphones to match the new setting. You may have to try a few locations to find one with no interference. When transmitting/receiving over long distances, the signal from the system will become weaker and the stereo indicator light will go dim. For protection of the transmitter and to save power, the transmitter will cut off automatically in about one minute when the input signal from the audio source is too weak for operation. If the signal is restored, the transmitter will work again automatically. 7 Red LED The Ni-Cd (nickel cadmium) batteries must be fully charged prior to operation. An initial charge of 24 hours is required to ensure the extended life of the Ni-Cd batteries. Be sure the headset is in the OFF position during charging status. 6 WHP150 MANUAL(1J1500 ) 6/10/99 11:28 AM Page 8 TROUBLE SHOOTING No Sound Ensure the AC adapter is fully inserted into the AC outlet and into the power connection input on the transmitter.
