Setting up the transmitter

왘Choose a suitable place near your sound source (e.g. TV).

왘Do not place the transmitter close to metal objects such

as shelf bars, reinforced concrete walls, etc. as this can

decrease the transmitter’s range.

It is not necessary that the transmitter and stethoset

receiver are in the same room, so you can move around

freely in the home or outside in the garden.

When the stethoset receiver leaves the range of the trans-

mitter, it produces warning signals and then automatically

switches off after 3 minutes.

One transmitter can be used to transmit to several

stethoset receivers on the same frequency.
