The cycle life of the rechargeable battery is approximately 500 times. (It varies depending on the conditions when charging.) The battery leaks its charge little by little even when the headphones power is off, due to its characteristics.

Make sure that the headphones are turned off.
You cannot charge the battery of the headphones when the headphones are turned on. Press POWER to turn the Power indicator off.
Put on the headphones on the base station so that their charging terminals contact firmly.
When putting the headphones on the base station, hold them and adjust their position with your both hands to assure the contact of the terminals.
Notes on the battery and charging
To make battery life longer: charging the battery within the temperature range of 10C 35C. not using the headphones in excessively cold places. Low temperature decreases battery life. charging the battery after its complete discharging. Charging before complete discharge makes the battery life gradually shorter. Replace the batteries when their lives become about half or the playback sound become constantly noisy. Use the exclusive rechargeable Ni-MH battery J47958 only. When purchasing the battery, consult the dealer where you bought the product. Replace two batteries at the same time when replacing.

Selecting a better reception channel
When the playback sound is noisy, you can choose one of the other two channels to transmit signals on the base station. The white noise may come out when switching the channel. Take off the headphones when switching the channel.

Listening area

The headphones can receive the FM signal of the base station 100 m away from it at maximum (when no interference or obstacles exist between them). But the receivable range becomes shorter or reception quality becomes poorer in the following cases: In places such as reinforced concrete buildings Obstacles such as steel-reinforced doors exist between the base station and headphones Items such as metal furniture are situated nearby In places facing a street Noise or interference sources exist nearby (e.g. mobile ham, radio stations, highvoltage power lines, a microwave oven, cordless phones, cellular phones, etc.)
Slide the CHANNEL selector on the back side of the base station to select another channel. Press AUTO SCAN on the headphones to tune in to the new channel. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to select the best channel.

The volume of the headphones and/or the connected AV equipment is too high. Adjust their volume to an appropriate level. The headphones battery will soon run out. Fully charge the battery. Switch the base station channel to another and press AUTO SCAN on the headphones. The volume of the connected AV equipment is too low. Adjust the volume as high as possible without causing distortion. Too far from the base station. Use the headphones within the range of the base station (see page 8). Check the contact of the charging terminals on the base station and the headphones. Check the polarity of the battery. The cycle life of the battery ended. Replace with the new battery (see page 6).

No sound comes out from R-channel.

Sound is distorted.

Sound is noisy.

Selecting a better reception channel
When the playback sound is noisy, you can choose one of the other two channels to transmit signals on the base station. The white noise may come out when switching the channel. Take off the headphones when switching the channel.
Call through the base station
You can call the one using the headphones with the microphone on the base station.
Press and hold CALL on the base station.
The playback sound is interrupted.
Slide the CHANNEL selector on the back side of the base station to select another channel. Press AUTO SCAN on the headphones to tune in to the new channel. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to select the best channel.
Speak to the microphone on the base station.
Speak at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from the microphone. The speaking sound may be distorted.
Release CALL after finishing speaking.
Do not speak to the microphone suddenly in too loud voice. The sudden excessive loud sound may damage the ears of the headphones user or may cause an accident to the user. Do not use the Call function when the headphones are near the base station. It may cause a howling sound and damage the headphone user or cause an accident.

Listening area

The headphones can receive the FM signal of the base station 50 m (164 ft.) away from it at maximum (when no interference or obstacles exist between them). But the receivable range becomes shorter or reception quality becomes poorer in the following cases: In places such as reinforced concrete buildings Obstacles such as steel-reinforced doors exist between the base station and headphones Items such as metal furniture are situated nearby In places facing a street Noise or interference sources exist nearby (e.g. mobile ham, radio stations, highvoltage power lines, a microwave oven, cordless phones, cellular phones, etc.)

Troubleshooting
What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service center.

Symptom

No sound comes out at all.

Cause/Remedy

Turns on the power of the headphones. Start playback on the AV equipment connected to the base station. Check the connection between the base station and the AV equipment. Turns up the volume of the headphones or the connected AV equipment to an appropriate level. Fully charge the headphones battery. Check the connection between the base station and the AV equipment. Sound comes out only of L-channel when the base station is connected to the monaural audio output. Convert the mini plug to the base station from stereo to monaural with the plug adaptor (not supplied). The headphones battery will soon run out. Fully charge the battery. The volume of the headphones and/or the connected AV equipment is too high. Adjust their volume to an appropriate level. The headphones battery will soon run out. Fully charge the battery. Switch the base station channel to another and press AUTO SCAN on the headphones. The volume of the connected AV equipment is too low. Adjust the volume as high as possible without causing distortion. Too far from the base station. Use the headphones within the range of the base station (see page 8). Check the contact of the charging terminals on the base station and the headphones. Check the polarity of the battery. The cycle life of the battery ended. Replace with the new battery (see page 6).

No sound comes out from R-channel.

Sound is distorted.

Sound is noisy.
Cannot charge the battery.
