operation  
Setting up the transmitter  
̈ Choose a suitable place near your sound source (e.g. TV,  
stereo or home cinema system).  
̈ 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, which is up to 150 m.  
It is not necessary that the transmitter and headphones are in  
the same room, so you can move around freely in the home or  
outside in the garden.  
One transmitter can be used to transmit to several  
headphones on the same frequency.  
Wall mounting the transmitter  
The transmitter is prepared for wall mounting.  
The required mounting hardware (screws and  
plugs) is not included in the delivery.
