setting on your transmitter, then press the "Auto Scan" button on the
headphones to find the corresponding channel.
To both protect the transmitter and save power, the transmitter will automatically
switch off after approximately four minutes if there is no audio signal, or the
signal that it receives from the audio source is too weak for proper reception. If
however the signal returns to an acceptable level, then the transmitter will
automatically switch back on.
