Carefully remove the TV Wireless Headphones from the packaging.
The ON/OFF switch on the back of the Transmitter Base has 4 positions. Make sure the switch on the back of the Transmitter Base is switched to “ON / Channel 1.”
Switch Positions
- OFF (uppermost position)
- ON / Ch. 1
- ON / Ch. 2

Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet. Connect the power cord to the Transmitter Base (DC 5V input). When the unit detects power, a BLUE LED will illuminate.
Decide which audio option you will use to connect the Transmitter Base to your TV. (We recommend the “optical” connection because it is the easiest and also provides the highest quality audio.) The optical audio cable is the thin black cable (approx. 38” long) included in the package.
Remove the protective plastic caps from BOTH ENDS of the optical audio cable.
Connect one end of the optical audio cable to your TV (Optical output). Connect the other end to the Transmitter Base (Optical input). When the Transmitter Base detects an audio signal, a BLUE LED will illuminate. NOTE: If your TV does NOT have an Optical output, you may connect your Transmitter Base to your cable box. If these options are not available, you can ALSO connect your TV Wireless Headphones to the TV or cable box via RCA cable or 3.5mm headphone cable (both included). Consult your owner’s manual for details.
Turn ON the headphones by pressing the POWER button located on the right ear cup. When
the headphones are on, a GREEN LED will illuminate on the headphones. You will hear the audio through the headphones and the TV. Now you can adjust the TV volume and/or the headphone volume to suit all of the viewers in the room.

CONNECTING YOUR TV

The TV Wireless Headphones can be connected to the TV three different ways:
- Headphone Jack: Use the included 3.5mm audio cable. Plug one end into the TV headphone jack. Plug the other end into the Audio In jack on the back of the transmitter base.
- Audio Out: Check to see if your TV has red and white Audio Out jacks (also called RCA jacks). If so, connect the included RCA to 3.5mm adapter cable to the Audio Out jacks on your TV. Then connect the included 3.5mm cable to the adapter, and plug the other end of the 3.5mm cable into the Audio In jack on the back of the transmitter base.
- Digital Optical Cable: Many new TVs do not have a headphone jack or Audio Out jacks. If this is the case, you must use the optical output on your TV. This jack is also called “optical audio,” “TOSLINK” or “Digital Audio Out (Optical).” Plug the included fiber optic cable into this jack on your TV. Then plug the other end into the Optical input on the back of the transmitter base. NOTE: Please be sure to check the shape of the Digital Optical Cable before you plug it in. The shape of the cable must align with the shape of the jack. Please be sure to remove the clear caps on both ends of the Digital Optical Cable before use. Please be sure the 3.5mm Audio Cable is not plugged in before use of the Digital Optical Cable, or it will default to the Audio Out mode.
When the transmitter base is connected to the TV, turn on the power on both the transmitter base and your TV. Now turn on the TV. The Audio light on the transmitter base will turn BLUE. NOTE: Make sure your TV is not on mute.

USING THE TV WIRELESS HEADPHONES

Press the Power button on the right side of the headphones. The indicator light will turn GREEN when successfully connected. The headphones will automatically connect within 5 seconds.
Please the headphones on your head. Adjust the volume using the Vol+ and Vol- buttons on the left side of the headphones. You should now be able to hear your TV through the headphones.
NOTE: If you want to connect more than 1 pair of headphones in a space on different devices, you can set a separate channel for different transmitters to avoid interference. Select channel 1, 2, or 3 by sliding the Power button on the base, then you can select to connect the headphones by pressing the SCAN button on the left side of the headphones. Each transmitter can connect more than 1 pair of headphones at the same time with the same channel.

AUTO SHUTOFF

To protect the battery, the TV Wireless Headphones will turn off automatically when the lithium battery power level drops below 2.7V. If this happens, please return the headphones to the charging base in order to recharge.

WIRED HEADPHONE USE

Your TV Wireless Headphones can also be used as wired headphones, for use outdoors or on a plane (with a smartphone, tablet, laptop, MP3 player, etc.).

For wired use, connect the included 3.5mm audio cable to the Audio In jack on the headphones. Plug the other end into your mobile device.
To conserve battery power, be sure headphones are powered off when using them as wired headphones.
TV Wireless Headphones will not pick up wireless audio signals while the audio cable is plugged into the Audio In jack. When you want to watch TV again, make sure you unplug the 3.5mm audio cable.

SYSTEM RESET

In the rare event of a malfunction, you may need to perform a system reset.

Turn on the power of the transmitter base.
Turn on the power of the headphones.
Press and hold the Scan buttons on the transmitter base and the headphones at the same time. The signal indicator lights will begin to flash blue.
When you hear a long beep sound, let go of both buttons. The system has now been reset.
