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.
