Tips for Using Your TV Listener K4
• When connecting to your television or other audio equipment, be sure to use the
audio
OUTPUT
jacks. The jacks are labeled “AUDIO OUTPUT” (not just “AUDIO”). If you
are connecting to your television, these jacks are located on the back of the televi-
sion. Do
NOT
use the audio jacks on the front as these are audio input jacks.
• If you are using your TV Listener K4 with an LCD or plasma television and are experi-
encing static, connect the transmitter to your cable box instead of your television.
Follow the instructions for Stereo Installation on Pg. 6. Also, move the transmitter so
that it is not directly in front of your television. Move the transmitter as far from the
television as possible while making sure it is still in the line of sight of the headset.
• If you hear static or a radio signal from your headset, it may be due to the electric
current to the transmitter. Unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet and plug
it into a surge protector. Then plug the surge protector into the electrical outlet. Also,
try connecting the transmitter to your cable box instead of your television.
• The TV Listener K4 does not work with optical or digital audio outputs. If your televi-
sion does not have analog RCA audio outputs, use the RCA audio outputs on your
cable box. If there are also no analog RCA audio outputs on your cable box, use
the headphone adapter. Or you may purchase an audio converter at an electronic
store.
• When charging your headset, make sure the transmitter is plugged into an electrical
outlet and the headset is turned off.
• Only use rechargeable NiMH batteries. Do
NOT
use alkaline batteries or you will
severely damage the headset.
• If your headset is not working, check the batteries first. Make sure the batteries are
charged and properly installed.
Care & Cleaning
Disconnect the transmitter and remove all batteries from the headset before cleaning.
Clean the exterior of the units with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do
NOT
spray with
cleaning products or solvents. Do
NOT
submerge in water or any other liquid.
5.
Adjust the volume for each ear to a comfortable listening level using the volume
control dial. If the headset is out of the range of the transmitter or the infrared sen-
sors in the headset are being blocked, no sound will come through the headset.
6.
Turn off the headset after each use and place it in the charging base to
recharge. The transmitter will automatically stop charging once the headset is fully
charged so the headset can remain in the base. We recommend unplugging the
transmitter from the electrical outlet and removing the batteries from the headset
during long periods of non-use.
7.
The four red lights on the transmitter will turn off and go into standby mode if no
audio signal is detected for three minutes (either you unplugged the transmitter
from the TV or shut off the TV). Once the audio signal is resumed, the lights will turn
back on. This feature helps to reduce power consumption.
Regardless of what type of equipment you have and which installation instructions you
follow, when you connect the transmitter the sound will be heard either (1) through
your headset and television speakers, or (2) just through your headset. The following
instructions will apply to both types of installation.
1.
The sound from your television is heard from your headset and your television
speakers.
If you want the sound to be heard only from the headset, you will need
to mute the television sound. If you simply turn the volume down all the way, you
may reduce the signal going to the television audio output jacks which will affect
the sound coming through your headset. To mute the television sound, press Mute
on your remote control. Or, if your TV has a speaker switch on the back panel, set
this switch to “OFF”.
If pressing “Mute” on your remote also turns off the sound from your headset, your
TV may have speaker options that you can access with your television's remote
control. Please refer to your television instruction manual to locate this control and
set it to “OFF”.
2.
The sound from your television will only be heard through your headset and will
not be heard from the television speakers.
This will happen if you connect the
transmitter using the headphone adapter. If you want the sound to be heard from
the headset and the television speakers, connect the transmitter to your television
or cable box using the RCA stereo adapter. (refer to Pg. 6)
NOTE:
If you hear static or a radio signal from your headset, it may be due to the elec-
tric current to the transmitter. Unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet and
plug it into a surge protector. Then plug the surge protector into the electrical outlet.
If you are using your TV Listener K4 with an LCD or plasma television and are experienc-
ing static, connect the transmitter to your cable box instead of your television. Move
the transmitter as far from your television as possible while making sure it is still in the
line of sight of the headset.
There is no limit to the number of headsets that can be used with a single transmitter.
