611GETTING STARTEDBattery PlacementOpen the battery compartment by sliding the batterydoor on the back of the Receiver down and insert the 2Rechargeable batteries as indicated (+ and – symbols aremolded into the bottom of the battery compartment toensure proper placement). Repeat the process for theTransmitter.Channel SelectionThe SuperEar LoudandClear provides a choice ofthree channels, with the Frequency Selector Switch locatedinside the battery compartment, above the batteries:Channel 1 – Far Left Position – 72.2 MHzChannel 2 - Center Position – 72.8 MHzChannel 3 – Far Right Position – 75.8 MHzThe Channel Frequency can be easily changed forthe best possible reception. THE SAME CHANNELFREQUENCY MUST BE SELECTED FOR BOTH THERECEIVER AND THE TRANSMITTER. IF CHANNELFREQUENCIES ARE NOT SYNCHRONIZED,TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION WILL FAIL.Channel frequencies are printed on the inside of thebattery compartment door for quick reference.Belt Clip Installation/Removal1) Place belt clip over the Battery CompartmentDoor, with the top hinge centered between the two anti-scuff pads and the clips over the retaining slots.2) Slip the small joint into the slot located above theBattery Compartment Door.3) Apply pressure on both sides of the clip until theclip retainers snap into the slots on the sides of the unit.4) To remove, flex out one side of the clip retainer,unsnap from the retaining slot and remove the clip.TroubleshootingIf noise, distortion or static is present, check that:• batteries are high quality and fully charged.• Transmitter and Receiver are set to the same Channel.• there are no other Transmitters in the immediate vicinity transmitting on the same frequency.• all cables are fully connected.• the Microphone has not been damaged with excessive heat or moisture.• Ear Buds have not been damaged by pulling on the wires.If the above steps do not correct the problem,contact Sonic Technology Products, Inc. for repair orreplacement.611GETTING STARTEDBattery PlacementOpen the battery compartment by sliding the batterydoor on the back of the Receiver down and insert the 2Rechargeable batteries as indicated (+ and – symbols aremolded into the bottom of the battery compartment toensure proper placement).

710Battery ChargingTo charge the batteries in the Receiver or Transmit-ter, place the rechargeable batteries in the battery compart-ment as explained above. Plug the recharging Mini USBend of the Recharging cable into the recharging port. Theother end of the cable with the USB connector may beeither plugged into a USB port on your computer or pluggedinto the Recharging Wall Plug, which is in turn plugged intoa 110VAC outlet. Once charging begins, the green Re-charging Indicator LED will flash until the LED turns tosolid green. This indicates charging is complete.• Allow Ni-MH Batteries (provided) to charge 12-16hours for up to 11 hours of useage for Transmitter (102 mA/hour) and up to 15 hours useage for Receiver (55 mA/hour).• Excessive charging may reduce the life expect-ancy and capacity• The LED light will flash red when the unit is in alow battery state.• Charging may be accomplished with the “Power”either ON or OFF.• Normal operation may continue while recharging,if the “Power” mode is ON.TRANSMITTER OPERATION FORTELEVISION/MP3/AUXILLIARY SOUNDTRANSMISSIONTransmitter1) Install Rechargeable Batteries and charge asindicated2) Select Channel Option3) Plug in the 3.5mm Auxillary Cable Jack into theMicrophone Plug4) Plug in the other end of the Auxillary Cable intothe Speaker/Aux.
