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.

Treble boost  
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.  
Treble boost (settings 2 and 3)  
Another typical age-related phenomenon is the deterioration of the  
hearing with regard to high frequencies. However, high frequencies are  
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.

Additional technical information  
̈ Use a screwdriver to turn the treble  
boost control G to the left or right  
until the sound can be heard very  
well.  
The position “0” corresponds to a  
minimum boost, the position “MAX”  
corresponds to a maximum boost, and  
the control is factory-preset to the  
medium position.

Function of the treble boost control  
By means of the transmitter’s steplessly adjustable treble boost  
control G, the audio signal is boosted as shown in the diagram.
