Charging the battery
The base station works as the battery charging 
unit. Charge the rechargeable battery before 
starting to use the headphones.
You can continuously use the headphones for 
about 10 hours after full battery charge.
1  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.
2  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.
3  Confirm the CHARGE indicator 
lights up.
If the charge indicator does not light up, 
return steps 1 and 2 after checking the 
connection of the AC adaptor.
•  It takes about 30 hours to charge the 
batteries fully.
•  30-hour charging may not charge the 
battery fully depending on the battery or 
other conditions.
•  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.
Notes on the battery and charging
•  To make battery life longer:
–  charging the battery within the 
temperature range of 10ºC – 35ºC.
–  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.

Basic operations
Listening to the sound from the base 
station
The base station works as the FM transmitter 
and send sound to the headphones.
Precaution
Turn down the volume of the headphones with 
the VOL dial before turning on its power to 
avoid excessive volume.
1  Start playback on the AV 
equipment connected with the 
base station.
The base station turns on automatically and 
starts to transmit FM signals (Auto Power 
On function). 
The POWER indicator of the base station 
lights up.
•  In some situations, the power may not 
be turned on automatically by the input 
sound (e. g. a song with a quiet opening 
or fade in). This is not a malfunction.
2  Press POWER on the 
headphones to turn on the 
power.
The POWER indicator lights up and the 
headphones automatically starts to tune in 
to the signal from the base station (Auto 
Tuning function). 
The AUTO SCAN indicator lights up when 
tuned in.
• Press the center of the button firmly 
when pressing POWER. Pressing the 
edge may not turn on the power. 
•  Charge the battery in the following cases. 
The battery ran out:
  –  The POWER indicator does not light 
up after pressing POWER. 
  –  The AUTO SCAN indicator does not 
light up though the POWER indicator 
lights up.•  No sound is heard while Auto Tuning. It 
takes a few seconds to tune in.
•  Press AUTO SCAN when 
the sound does not come out 
properly.
3  Adjust the volumes of the 
AV equipment and the 
headphones.
•  Adjust the volumes within the area about 
7 m from the base station to get optimum 
signal reception.
•  You can get better sound by setting the 
volume of the AV equipment as high 
as possible without causing distortion 
and that of the headphone lower (except 
when connecting the AV equipment 
through LINE OUT jacks). 
To Turn off the units
Press POWER on the headphones and 
stop playback on the AV equipment. 
The headphones’ POWER indicator 
goes off. 
•  The base station automatically turns off if no 
signals come in for about four minutes (Auto 
Power OFF function). 
•  The white noise may come out when the base 
station turns off. Take off and turns off the 
headphones after using.

Basic operations
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.
1  Slide the CHANNEL 
selector on the back side of 
the base station to select another 
channel.
2  Press AUTO SCAN on the 
headphones to tune in to 
the new channel.
3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to select the 
best 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, high-
voltage power lines, a microwave oven, 
cordless phones, cellular phones, etc.)

Troubleshooting
Symptom Cause/Remedy
No sound comes out at all. •  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. 
No sound comes out from 
R-channel.•  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).
Sound is distorted. •  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.
Sound is noisy. •  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). 
Cannot charge the battery. •  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). What appears to be trouble is not always serious. Check the following points before calling a service 
center.
