Dear Customer,

We are delighted that you have chosen this TV sound amplifier.

Before using the device for the first time, please read the instructions carefully

and store them in a safe place. If the device is given to someone else, it should

We reserve the right to modify the product, packaging or enclosed

documentation at any time in conjunction with our policy of continuous

development.

Meaning of the Symbols in these Instructions

All safety instructions are identified with this symbol. Please read them

carefully and comply with the safety instructions in order to prevent

personal injury and damage to property.

Tips and recommendations are identified with this symbol.

Intended Use

❐This device is used to improve hearing. It is not a replacement for a hearing

aid fitted by a specialist. You should therefore always consult a doctor as a

precaution.

❐This device should not be used by people (including children) with impaired

sensory or mental faculties or who do not have adequate experience and/or

knowledge of such devices, unless they are supervised by a person

responsible for their safety, or have received instructions from such a person

on how to use the device. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do

not play with the device.

❐The device is for personal use only and is not intended for commercial

applications.

❐Use the device only as described in the instructions. Any other use is

deemed to be improper.

❐The following are excluded from the warranty: all defects caused by

improper handling, damage or unauthorized attempts at repair. This also

applies to normal wear and tear.

Safety Instructions

Dangers of Injury

❐Caution! Danger of suffocation from swallowing! Keep the device, batteries

and ear cushions out of the reach of small children and animals.

❐Batteries can be deadly if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed, seek

medical assistance immediately.

❐Danger of damage to hearing! A high volume which impinges on your ears

for a lengthy period of time can cause permanent hearing damage. Set a low

volume before you turn on the sound amplifier. Then set a sound level that you

find pleasant.

❐Do not use the sound amplifier if your environment requires a particular

level of attention (e.g. when performing skilled manual tasks).

❐The sound amplifier generates magnetic fields. They may interfere with

pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). The distance

between these devices and the earphones should therefore be at least 10 cm.

If you believe that a pacemaker or another medical device is suffering

interference, switch the sound amplifier off immediately and contact the

manufacturer of the pacemaker or other medical device.

The Proper Handling of Batteries

❐The battery must not be inserted/replaced by children.

❐Before inserting the battery, check whether the contacts in the battery

compartment and on the battery are clean, and clean them if necessary.

❐Use only the battery type specified in the technical data. Use

high-performance alkaline batteries. When replacing batteries, note the correct

polarity (+/–).

❐Take the battery out of the battery compartment when it is dead or if you

will not be using the device for a prolonged period. This will prevent any

damage that might occur if a battery leaks.

❐If the battery has leaked, do not allow battery acid to come into contact with

your skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. If you touch battery acid, rinse the

affected sites with abundant fresh water immediately and contact a doctor as

soon as possible.

❐Remove a dead battery from the battery compartment immediately and

clean the contacts before you insert a new battery.

❐The batteries must not be recharged or reactivated by other means, must

not be dismantled, thrown into a fi re, immersed in fluids or short-circuited.

Proper Use

❐Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, wide temperature

fluctuations, open fire, direct sunlight, moisture or wet conditions.

❐Treat the device with care and store it in a clean location that is free of dust.

❐Switch the device off after you have finished using it to conserve the

battery.

❐Do not use the device when bathing or showering. Do not immerse it in

water or other liquids.

❐Always check the device and accessories for damage before putting them

into operation. Do not use the device if it shows obvious signs of damage. Do

not try to repair the device yourself or to replace any individual parts. In the

event of any damage, contact our customer service department.

❐In the event of damage/faults, switch the device off immediately.

❐Do not drop the device or allow it to be knocked violently.

Before Initial Use

CAUTION!

❐Keep children away from the packaging material. There is a danger of

suffocation!

1. Unpack all parts and check the items supplied for completeness (see the

"Items Supplied and Device Overview" chapter) and transport damage. If the

device does have any damage, do not use it(!), but contact our customer

service department.

2. Remove any film or stickers that may be present from the device and

accessories.

3. Insert a battery into the battery compartment (see below).

4. Attach ear cushions to the earphones.

Inserting the Battery

1. Push open the battery compartment cover by applying slight pressure in the

direction of the arrow in order to remove it.

2. Insert a 1.5 V battery of the AAA type (supplied with the device) into the

battery compartment.

Pay attention to the correct polarity (+/–).

3. Place the battery compartment cover onto the battery compartment and

slide it shut until it engages audibly. Replace the battery when the power of the

device starts to wane.

Attaching the Ear Cushions

PLEASE NOTE!

❐For reasons of hygiene, ear cushions should only be used by one person.

Otherwise they should be thoroughly cleaned before they are passed on to

others (see the "Cleaning" chapter).

Three pairs of ear cushions of different sizes are supplied with the device. Test

which size you find most comfortable.

• Plug the ear cushions onto the earphones. If you twist the ear cushions on as

you do this, they are easier to attach.

• To remove the ear cushions, simply pull them off the earphones.

Use

WARNING!

❐Danger of damage to hearing! A high volume which impinges on your ears

for a lengthy period of time can cause permanent hearing damage. Set a low

volume before you put on the sound amplifier. Then set a level of sound

amplification that you find pleasant.

❐Interference from magnetic fields! The sound amplifier generates magnetic

fields. They may interfere with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter

defibrillators (ICDs). Always maintain a distance of at least 10 cm between

these devices and the earphones.

1. Turn the volume control to a low volume.

2. Slide the On/Off switch to the ON position.

3. Put the sound amplifier on in such a way that the microphone is directed

away from you. Make sure that the ear cushions fit well in your auditory canals

and do not press too hard or sit too loosely. Either would reduce your ability to

hear. Change the ear cushions if necessary (see the "Attaching the Ear

Cushions" chapter).

4. Use the volume control to set a level of sound amplification that is sufficient

and pleasant for you.

If you hear an excessively loud background noise (feedback), reduce the

volume until the noise disappears.

5. Switch off the noise amplifier after use (move the On/Off switch to

the OFF position) and place it in the stand supplied with the device.

6. Clean the ear cushions regularly (see the "Cleaning" chapter).

Cleaning

CAUTION!

❐Liquid may destroy the device! Keep the sound amplifier away from water or

other liquids. Only the ear cushions may be cleaned with water. However, they

must be completely dry before they are attached to the device.

❐The ear cushions are neither machine-washable, dishwasher-safe nor

suitable for tumble drying! Only ever dry the ear cushions in the air, and never

use a hair dryer to do so.

❐Do not use any sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning pads to clean

the device and accessories.

❐However, if the ear cushions are damaged or worn, they must be replaced.

• Switch off the device before cleaning it.

• Carefully remove the ear cushions from the earphones. Clean the ear

cushions with warm soapy water and then rinse them thoroughly with clear

water. Dry the ear cushions in the air.

•Clean the sound amplifier if necessary using a damp, soft cloth. Dry it with a

soft cloth. Troubleshooting

If the device is not working properly, please check first of all whether you are

able to rectify a problem yourself. Otherwise you should contact the customer

service department. Do not attempt to repair a defective device yourself!
