How to use:
EarTech TV Audio with under-the-chin Headset Receiver
1. Turn on your sound source (e.g. TV).
2. While wearing the headset, adjust the volume level initially to a low volume to protect
your hearing. The volume increases when you turn the dial toward “10” and it decreases
when you turn the dial in the direction of “0”.
3. Turn the headset on with the switch on the side. The flashing green LED indicates that
the receiver is switched on. The LED will be solid green once a signal is received from
the sound source. If the green LED continues to flash after one minute, refer to pg.
11 for pairing instructions.
4. Set the desired volume on your headset.
5. We recommend that you turn off the headset and place back into the transmitter cradle
when not in use, to ensure that the battery is always charged.

How to use:
EarTech TV Audio Neckloop Receiver
CAUTION: If you have a heart pacemaker, contact your physician or the manufacturer of
the pacemaker before using the neckloop, to ensure that the pacemaker is not
subject to interference.
1. Turn on your sound source (e.g. TV), and switch your hearing aids to T-coil setting.
2. Adjust the volume level on the neckloop initially to a low volume to protect your
hearing.
3. The neckloop lock is used to safely wear the device and is designed to release to
minimize accidents. Ensure that the neckloop lock has been closed completely
(see pg. 5)
4. Turn on the neckloop receiver by using the ON/OFF switch on the side of the receiver.
The flashing green LED on the receiver indicates that the receiver is switched on. The
LED will be solid green once a signal is received from the sound source. If the green
LED continues to flash after one minute, refer to pg. 11 for pairing instructions.
5. Set the desired volume on your neckloop receiver.
6. We recommend that you turn off the neckloop and place back into the transmitter

Tone Presets
You can set the Tone/Clarity with the button on the transmitter. Press and release the
button until you find a listening preset that is right for you.
The following table shows the settings. Select which setting works best for you.
Balance control
(EarTech TV Audio headset receiver and
the 3.5 mm stereo output of the
neckloop receiver only.)
The balance controls the volume distribution between the right and the left ear with
the headset or when the 3.5 mm stereo output is used on the neckloop with earbuds or
headphones. Adjust the balance so that you have the same volume level in both ears.
Note regarding neckloop: If using with T-coil equipped hearing aids, you can adjust the
volume and tone, but not the balance.

Volume control
Adjust the volume level on the headset initially to a low volume to protect your hearing.
The volume increases when you turn the dial toward “10” and it decreases when you turn
the dial in the direction of “0”.
Range
EarTech TV Audio uses the newest 2.4GHz technology. In optimal cases the range is up to
30.5 meters (100 feet).
The 2.4GHz radio frequency technology also works through walls. The range depends
greatly on the building and the environment.
Mono/Stereo Switch
You can switch to stereo when using the headset or the 3.5mm output on the neckloop
with earbuds or headphones. When using T-coil enabled hearing aids with the neckloop,
the signal will always be mono.
Battery charging
Once the battery is fully charged, it can be used up to six (6) hours. The operating time may
vary, depending on the listening volume.
Headset: The green LED on the headset will blink slowly and beep every minute when the
battery is low.
Neckloop: When the battery level is low, you will hear 3 beeps every minute in the
neckloop. The neckloop will be switched off automatically after 5 minutes.

After use, gently place the receiver into the charging cradle of the transmitter.
Ensure that the receiver is placed correctly in the transmitter. If the receiver is charging,
the green LED at the right side of the receiver is illuminated. For first time operation, it is
recommended that the battery be charged for at least three (3) hours.
An additional battery can be charged in the transmitter. Additional batteries are available
through your EarTech TV Audio distributor.
The additional battery can be inserted into the charging bay behind the receiver charging
cradle. Please ensure that the sloped side points upward and that you insert it without
applying too much force. The LED on the base is illuminated green when the battery is
charging.
We recommend that you exchange the battery in the receiver with the spare battery in the
transmitter weekly. This ensures that the batteries are used regularly and that they achieve a
maximum service life.
