Precautions
The unit
This 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 use
For use only in your country.
Range of use
The 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 equipment
Due 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
devices
The 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.

Problem Possible cause and suggested remedy
I 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?

Problem Possible cause and suggested remedy
The 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?
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause and suggested remedy
I 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. The battery’s
charging capability will be restored after a few charges.
• The battery will discharge if the power switch is kept at the “on” setting.
•
If the play time available is extremely short even after the battery has been charged,
it means that the rechargeable battery has reached the end of its service life (after
about 300 charges). For more information on replacing the rechargeable nickel-
hydrogen battery, consult with your dealer.
The sound cut out while
music was playing. • Did you receive mail or a message (R/F)? Check your cellphone.
Sound copyright-protected
by SCMS-T (a copy
protection technology)
cannot be played.
• This is not supported by the unit.
• iPod®: The latest iPod® software versions are required.

Listening caution
Do not play your earphones at a high volume. 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.
