Using Dry Cell Batteries (Not Included); Connections; Connecting Digital Equipment - Panasonic RP-WH5000-S Operating Instructions Manual

Power Supply Preparations : Headphones
Charging terminals
Left housing
POWER/CHARGE lamp
NOTE
• During charging the transmitter is turned off automatically.
• Disconnect the AC adapter from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time. This unit
consumes a small amount of power (approximately 1.3 W) if the AC adapter is connected, even when it is turned off.
• Do not attempt to charge dry cell batteries.
• Charge the batteries in an environment with an ambient temperature between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).
If the POWER/CHARGE lamp does not light up
Check that the left and right sides of the headphones are correctly placed on the left and right sides
of the transmitter.
Check that the charging terminals on the headphones and transmitter are touching each other.
Adjust them if they are not touching.
To charge the batteries after using the headphones
Put the headphones back on the transmitter. The POWER/CHARGE lamp glows red. The DECODE
MODE lamp goes out approximately 1-2 seconds later and charging begins. It takes approximately
16 hours to charge the supplied batteries. The unit's internal timer will stop charging when the
batteries are fully charged so leaving the headphones on the transmitter will not cause battery
overcharging or damage to the unit.
NOTE
• The charging takes approximately 16 hours even if the batteries are not fully discharged.
• If you take the headphones off the transmitter while charging or after charging has finished, the charging will again
take approximately 16 hours when you put the headphones on the transmitter.

To check the remaining battery
power
Pull up the free-adjusting band and check if the
POWER lamp on the right housing is dim or
flashing. This means that the batteries have run
down and should be replaced or charged.
If the sound is distorted, intermittent or there is
excessive background noise the batteries should
also be replaced or charged.
