headphone system.  
High-frequency radio system  
The FM headphone set uses a high radio  
frequency as the signal carrier, ensuring a  
very clear, sharp reception.  
Check if the voltage indicated on the  
type plate of the adapter corresponds  
to the local mains voltage before  
connecting to the mains power supply.  
Remove the batteries from the  
headphone’s battery compartment and  
disconnect the adapter from the mains  
if the system is not in use for a long  
period.  
Prevent fire or shock hazard: do not  
expose this equipment to humidity,

heating equipment or direct sunlight.  
Radio equipment for wireless audio  
applications is not protected against  
disturbance from other radio services.  
Automatic power on/off indicator  
The FM transmitter automatically switches  
on and starts transmitting when audio  
signals are detected at the audio input (red  
LED).When no audio signals are detected  
the FM transmitter automatically switches  
off after a few minutes.  
Easy transmission  
The FM headphone is able to receive signals  
from the transmitter, even through barriers  
such as doors, walls and windows.
