The Autotuning function will automatically tune the reception
frequency to the carrier frequency set on the transmitter. After
a few seconds, you should hear the signal in the headphones
clearly and free of interference.
If your first try fails, set the FREQ selector (9) on the transmit-
ter to a different position and press AUTOTUNING (5)
again.
FREQ (9) lets you select one of three different carrier fre-
quenices.

Set the VOLUME control (6) on the headphones to the
desired volume level.
Note
: If the transmitter signal is disturbed, e.g., by reflections (multi-
path reception) or shadow effects, the headphones will auto-
matically mute. This function eliminates interference related
noise.

7 Important Notes
1.
Operating switches on or connecting the transmitter to your
audio source may cause clicks which at high volume settings
may affect your hearing. Therefore, be sure to set the
VOLUME
control on the headphones to
minimum
before
switching between different sources (tuner, turntable, CD play-
er, etc.) or connecting the transmitter.
2.
Listening over headphones at high volume levels, particularly
over extended periods of time, may damage your hearing.
3.
Your K 306/K 406/K 506 AFC is a radio frequency device
that conforms to the strict European standards. For physical
reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the product,
extremely strong interference sources may affect reception.
In order to maintain interference-free listening
pleasure, do not operate your K 306/K 406/K
506 AFC in the close vicinity of radio equipment,
cellular telephones, or directly above TV or com-
puter monitor picture tubes
(see fig. 11). The supplied
connecting cable is long enough to allow the transmitter to be
placed at a safe distance from interference sources.
Interference caused by other users of the 864 MHz LPD
band are beyond AKG’s control.
