Please read this instruction manual carefully and completely before
using the products.
Make this instruction manual easily accessible to all users at all
times. Always include this instruction manual when passing the
products on to third parties.

Do not use the products in situations which require special atten-
tion (e.g. when performing skilled jobs).
Always keep the products dry and do not expose them to extreme
temperatures.
Use the products with care and set them up in a clean, dust-free
environment.

Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94“ (10 cm) between the
ear cups and the cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator since
the product generates permanent magnetic fields.
This stethoset receiver allows you to set higher volumes than
conventional headphones. This can cause hearing damage in
persons with healthy hearing and especially in children.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, when the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.

operation
Setting up the transmitter
̈ Choose a suitable place near your sound source (e.g. TV).
̈ Do not place the transmitter close to metal objects such
as shelf bars, reinforced concrete walls, etc. as this can
decrease the transmitter’s range.
It is not necessary that the transmitter and receiver are in
the same room, so you can move around freely in the home
or outside in the garden.
When the receiver leaves the range of the transmitter, it
produces warning signals and then automatically switches
off after 3 minutes.
One transmitter can be used to transmit to several
receivers on the same frequency.

Compression and treble boost
Compression (settings 1 and 3)
Deterioration of the ability to hear quiet sounds as well as loud ones is
a typical symptom of old age. Compression compensates for these
volume differences by boosting the volume of quiet sounds and
reducing the volume of loud sounds if necessary.
Compression seems to put the speech in the foreground, making it
easier to understand.
Compression is self-regulating; once it has been activated, it is not
necessary to make any other settings.

important for the intelligibility of speech.
The treble boost makes the speech clearer and easier to understand.
With the treble boost (settings 2 and 3), additional fine adjustment is
possible using the treble boost control G at the rear of the transmitter.
