Transmitter Range
The transmitter and headset communicate via radio frequency (RF), so a direct line of
sight is not required. The operating range is approximately 30 feet. When you’re out
of range, you may hear popping or clicking sounds if the headset loses the RF signal.
For best performance, place the transmitter in an open area that is unobstructed by
objects that might absorb RF signals from the internal antenna. Avoid placing it on a
metal surface, such as the top of a home theater A/V receiver.
Using Wired Headphones
The transmitter can only communicate with one wireless headset, so two wireless
headsets cannot be used with the same transmitter. The headphone jack on the front
of the transmitter can be used to connect a set of wired headphones for listening to
the game sound being transmitted to the wireless headset. The volume control above
the jack sets the volume of the wired headset and does not affect the volume of the
wireless headset.
When the transmitter and headset are communicating, the top LED on the front of
the transmitter will be on. If this LED is slowly pulsing, it means the transmitter can’t
communicate with the headset. This could happen if the headset is turned off, out of
range or needs to be “paired”.
