RQT899310 11RQT8993PrecautionsThe unitThis unit uses the 2.4 GHz radio frequency band (Bluetooth). However other wireless equipment may use the same frequency. Be sure to take note of the following to prevent radio wave interference from other equipment.Restriction of useFor use only in your country.Range of useThe range of use is up to approximately 10 m (30 ft.). The range may be less depending on the structure of the building, the environment and any obstacles between the receiver and the transmitter. Such obstacles as reinforced concrete walls and metal doors, in particular, obstruct the transmitter’s signals.Interference from other equipmentDue to radio interference, malfunctions such as sound distortion may occur if the unit is placed too close to other equipment. We recommend keeping the unit as far away as possible from the following devices:■■■Bluetooth devices other than this unit, wireless LAN, microwaves, office automation devices, digital cordless telephones and other electronic devicesThe unit is designed to automatically avoid radio interference from these household devices. However the sound will be broken when radio interference occurs.Using the unit● Do not drop, hit or otherwise subject the transmitter or receiver to strong shocks of any kind. This may cause damage.● Do not expose the unit to water or other liquids as it may cause damage.● Do not use near microwave ovens, pacemakers or other industrial, chemical or medical equipment.● Do not use inside an aircraft, as this may compromise the safety of the aircraft.● Keep the ear pads, out of the reach of children to prevent them from being swallowed.■Basic flow of operations Connect the transmitter to the iPod®.Connect it to the iPod®’s dock connector.(Refer to page 15.)• Prior to shipment from the manufacturing plant, the transmitter and receiver pair is registered.

Remove the rechargeable battery.Caution: • Unless the unit is to be disposed of, do not remove the battery lid. • Check that the rechargeable battery has completely discharged before removing it.■TroubleshootingBefore requesting service, make the below checks. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem: refer to the “Panasonic / Technics Accessory Limited Warranty” on page 29. Take the unit when you visit your dealer.Problem Possible cause and suggested remedyI can’t hear any sound.The sound is barely audible.I hear a lot of noise.The sound keeps breaking up.• Something is wrong with the wireless communication.• Is power being supplied to the unit and device connected to it? (Is the unit’s lamp blinking in blue?)•Have you temporarily suspended play using the receiver or iPod®?• Has the transmitter been inserted all the way into the docking connector of the iPod®?• Is the transmitter’s connector dirty?• Has the input plug of the stereo earphones been inserted all the way (into the AUDIO OUT connector)?• Is the plug dirty?• Noise may be heard due to the effect of the cellphone.• Depending on the specifications and settings of your cellphone, the sound may break up or data communication may not be possible when you operate your cellphone.• Is a Bluetooth-enabled device other than this unit being used? Do not use the two devices at the same time.The unit doesn’t work.• Has the battery in the receiver or the device connected discharged? If it is, recharge it.• No power is supplied while the unit is being charged.• Connect the transmitter firmly to your iPod®, and reset the receiver. (The pairing information is not erased by this operation.) Then perform the pair setting again.* Reset operation: Insert a paper clip or other thin rod-type object into the hole on the receiver and press until there is the feeling of a button being pressed.I can’t register the (pairing of the) device.• Did you allow more than one minute to elapse after setting the unit to the device registration mode? The pair setting is automatically released if you allow more than one minute to elapse.• Set the pairing with the unit and connected device placed as close to each other as possible.I can’t use my cellphone to communicate.• Is your cellphone set to auto response or answering machine mode?• Have you set the volume level for the incoming tone and for receiving calls too low?RQT8993-P(RP-BT10P)0528.indd 24-25RQT8993-P(RP-BT10P)0528.indd 24-25 2007/05/28 16:42:232007/05/28 16:42:23
RQT899326 27RQT8993Problem Possible cause and suggested remedyThe rechargeable battery is hot while it is being charged.The battery will become somewhat hot: this is normal and not indicative of trouble.I can’t connect a device even though I have already registered it.<iPod®>• Re-register the transmitter and receiver pairing.1, Connect the transmitter to the iPod®. 2, Press and hold the transmitter button for 2 seconds.The transmitter’s lamp (red) starts blinking rapidly.3, Press and hold the MIC button on the receiver for 2 seconds.The receiver’s power is now turned on, and the lamp (red) blinks slowly.4, Press and hold the [-] button on the receiver for 6 seconds.The receiver and transmitter lamps (red) start blinking rapidly.• When re-registering the pairing: Wait for about 7 seconds. Step 5 is not necessary.• When registering the pairing for the first time (when replacing the unit with a new one): Go to step 5.5, Press the transmitter button twice quickly.When the pair setting has been re-registered, the transmitter lamp (blue) and receiver lamp (blue) will blink slowly.If failed, power off both devices and try again.<Cellphone>Re-register the cellphone and receiver pairing. Refer to “Registering the device pair” on page 18.Charging is not terminated even though the time for a complete charging has elapsed.This process may take approximately 3 hours or so depending on the level of the battery’s remaining charge.Charging stops immediately.To prevent overcharging, repeated charging is not possible.Before charging again after fully charging, use the unit for at least 20 to 30 minutes. (If charging is restarted immediately after fully charging, charging will automatically stop after about 1 minute.)■If wireless communication is not possible or is disconnected, check the following.a) Has the battery in the unit or connected device discharged?b) Is power being supplied to the unit and device connected to it?c) If there is an obstacle between the receiver and the transmitter or connected device, avoid or remove it.d) Is a wireless device, microwave oven, etc. that operates on a frequency in the 2.4 GHz band being used near the receiver, transmitter or connected device?e) Place the receiver, transmitter and connected device as close to one another as possible.f) Change the position or direction of the receiver, transmitter or connected device.g) Have you registered the device with the cellphone and transmitter?h) Are the registered cellphone, transmitter and unit set to the wireless communication standby status?TroubleshootingProblem Possible cause and suggested remedyI can use the unit only for a short time even after charging.• The unit may be usable just for a short time when its battery is first charged or when it is charged after the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.

Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.Pay attention to the surrounding environment (traffic) when using the earphones while walking.Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle.It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.To establish a safe level:• Start your volume control at a low setting.• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.Once you have established a comfortable sound level:• Leave it there.FOR U.S.A.Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North AmericaOne Panasonic Way Secaucus, New Jersey 07094Panasonic Puerto Rico, Inc.Ave. 65 de Infantería, Km. 9.5, San Gabriel Industrial Park, Carolina, Puerto Rico 00985Limited Warranty CoverageIf your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials or workmanship, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company or Panasonic Puerto Rico, Inc.
