Ideal TV Ears Placement Every wireless TV Ears system utilizes infrared technology to send audio signals from the transmitter to the headset. Infrared technology requires a direct line-of-sight from the transmitter to the receiver (or headset) to successfully transmit audio signals. Therefore, when installing any wireless TV Ears system, you will have to be sure the transmitter has a direct line- of-sight with the headset when the headset is in use.
Step 1 - Place & Power the Transmitter This step explains where to place the transmitter for the best performance as well as how to power the transmitter. The infrared diodes on the transmitter must be in direct line-of- sight with the headset when using the system for best performance. There cannot be anything blocking the direct signal, otherwise there will be no audio received and no sound heard.
Step 2 - Optical Digital Installation This step will instruct you on how to connect the TV Ears transmitter to your television, satellite, or cable box using an optical digital audio cord. • If you cannot get to the back of your TV, you can also use these instructions to install the system to your cable or satellite box.
• Your TV’s audio settings may be set to “variable” or “fixed”. If you want to be able to control your TV volume level separate from your TV Ears volume level, you will need to make sure your TV is set to “fixed”. Contact your TV manufacturer for assistance.
• If you connect the 3.5mm audio cord to the Headphone port on your TV, your TV Ears will still function properly, but the sound to your television speakers will be muted. The port is usually labeled with an icon that looks like the following: Plug one end of the 3.5mm audio cord into the “Audio Out”...
• Your TV’s audio settings may be set to “variable” or “fixed”. If you want to be able to control your TV volume level separate from your TV Ears volume level, you will need to make sure your TV is set to “fixed”. Contact your TV manufacturer for assistance.
At leAst 14 hours before fIrst use is recommended to help prolong the lifespan of the battery. • The TV Ears headset will last around 6 hours on a full charge, but will last a lesser or greater amount of time depending on the average volume level of the headset.
Adjust Headset Pressure The TV Ears headset is made to fit the average adult head, but can be adjusted to improve the comfort and fit. If the headset is too tight or there is too much pressure on your ears after long...
Using the System & Features The Transmitter Charging Lights There are two charging lights on the transmitter. They are the two leftmost green lights on the front of the transmitter. When a headset is charging in the front cradle, the left of the two charging lights will illuminate.
Servicing is required when the TV Ears product has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord is damaged, liquid has been spilled on the product, objects have fallen into the product, the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, has been dropped, cracked, or has been broken.
Troubleshooting Why do my TV Ears mute when I mute the TV? Fixed audio out will allow the television volume and TV Ears volume to work independently from one another. Some televisions have to be manually switched from the “Variable” audio setting to the “Fixed”...

Troubleshooting Will the lights change colors once the headset is fully charged? No, the charging light will remain a constant color as long as a headset is placed in the charging cradle. We recommend keeping the headset in the charging cradle when not in use. The headset cannot be overcharged, so leaving it in the charging cradle when you are not using it will not damage the headset.
