Important Note About Audio Outputs
If possible, use a fixed-level (or line-level) audio output from your audio source.
This kind of output provides a consistent level of audio that doesn’t change when
you adjust the source’s volume control.
Fixed-level audio outputs from stereo receivers/amps are typically designated as
tape or VCR audio output connections, sometimes marked on the component as
‘TAPE OUTPUT,’ ‘TAPE OUT,’ ‘TAPE REC, or ‘TAPE RECORD or REC OUT.’
Fixed-level outputs from TVs are usually marked as ‘Constant,’ ‘Fixed,’ or ‘Select.’
If they are not marked as such, they are probably variable outputs (see “About
Variable-Level Audio Outputs” below). Outputs from DVD players are almost
always fixed.
Important: Jacks labeled CD, DVD/DVR, PHONO, or tape playback (PB) are INPUTS
and will not work with the transmitter.
About Variable-Level Audio Outputs
A variable-level output, such as a headphone jack or certain RCA-type outputs,
provides an audio signal that changes with the volume level set on the audio
source. As the volume of the audio source is adjusted up and down, so is the
audio signal strength sent to the transmitter. This can affect the quality of sound
generated by the headphones, and may require an adjustment of the volume level
of the audio source to produce a signal strong enough for the transmitter.
Hints:
• On most bookshelf-type or compact stereo systems, inserting a headphone plug into the
headphone jack results in automatic cutoff of the regular, or hard-wired speakers.
• Most TVs, regardless of age or price, have variable outputs. If you are unsure which
of your TV audio outputs is fixed, refer to the TV instruction manual. Some TVs have
outputs that can switch between variable and fixed. When given a choice, fixed is always
recommended.
Listen safely!
Enjoy your headphones at a safe volume. Avoid or limit the amount of time you
listen at higher volumes—permanent hearing loss may occur if the headphone is
used at too high a volume. If you experience a ringing in your ears, or your own
voice and other sounds seem muffled, stop using the headphones and consult a
hearing professional.
Battery life
Due to the chemistry of the headphones’ rechargeable battery, required charging
time may increase while the actual capacity of the battery may decrease. If you
have any questions regarding the replacement of the built-in battery, please call
toll-free 1-800-732-6866 or visit www.araccessories.com.

The following troubleshooting guide takes you through some of the more common
problems associated with the installation and/or operation of a wireless system. If
the problem persists, please call toll-free 1-800-732-6866 or visit
www.araccessories.com.
Issue: Cause and solution:
No sound • If you’re using the transmitter with the AC power adapter, make sure it is fully
inserted into the wall outlet and the power cord from the AC adapter is firmly
connected to the transmitter power input jack.
• If you’re using the transmitter with batteries, check to see that the batteries are
fresh and inserted with correct polarity (+, –). Try replacing the batteries if you
think they’ve run out of power.
• Check that the audio source component (stereo, TV, etc.) is turned on and
transmitting sound as it normally should. If you’re using a PC or DVD player,
make sure you’ve selected the correct audio output and that the sound is not
muted.
• Confirm that the headphones are turned on (the LED is blue) and tuned to the
transmitter. If the LED on the left headphone is flashing blue, the headphones
are not tuned to the transmitter. Press the link key on the headphones and on the
transmitter’s back panel to tune the headphones.
• Check that the headphone volume is turned up.
• If you’re using a variable output audio source (like a headphone jack or variable
output on a TV set), make sure the source component’s volume is set high
enough for the transmitter to detect.
• If you are using a Tape 2 Monitor output from your receiver/amp as the audio
output, check that you have pressed the Tape Monitor/Tape 2 button on the
front of the receiver. This will turn on the Tape 2 outputs, which may not have
been active.
Interrupted
sound
• Move closer to the transmitter with the headphones on. Sending the signal
through certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal, can decrease the effective
transmitting distance of the system.
• When using battery power in the transmitter, make sure the batteries are fresh
and replace if necessary. Plug in the transmitter using the AC power adapter if
there’s an outlet available.
LEDs fail to
light up
• Make sure the headphones are charged and that the transmitter is properly
connected to the audio source. Then, move the headphones close to the
transmitter and press the headphone power button again.
Headphones
shut off
automatically
• Check the LED on the left headphone. If it’s blinking, you’ve lost the
transmitter’s signal. Move closer to the transmitter. If you don’t see the LED, the
headphones’ rechargeable battery needs to be recharged. Use the AC adapter to
recharge the headphones.
Troubleshooting
The headphones can be reset as well. If you experience persistent problems with
the headphones, see page 6 for reset instructions.
