Getting Started Using the AR AWD211 Wireless Headphones

Installing the Headphone Batteries 

1. Find the depression in the middle of the left headphone. Press down on this area to remove the headphones’ battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the two (2) rechargeable AA batteries (included) in the left headphone, following the polarity (+ and –) diagram inside the compartment.
   
3. Place the battery cover back on the left headphone. Make sure it locks back into place.

Charging the Headset

If you use the rechargeable batteries provided with the headphones, you should charge them before you use the headphones for the first time. The batteries charge when the headphones are placed in the charging cradle on the transmitter as shown below.

WARNING: To avoid risk of fire or injury, DO NOT place the headphones in the charging cradle if you installed alkaline or other non-rechargeable batteries – this could cause the batteries to leak, which would damage the headphones.

To charge the headphones:

1. Connect the AC adapter to the power jack on the back of the transmitter. Then plug the AC adapter into a standard wall outlet or surge protector. Note: This power adapter should be plugged in so that it stays vertical or lies flat.
2. Locate the charging contact on the bottom of the left headphone. Line this contact up with the charging pins on the transmitter.
    
3. Place the headphones in the cradle on top of the transmitter. The indicator light on top of the transmitter flashes green when the headphones are charging.

Before using your headphones for the first time, let them charge continuously for 16 hours.

Notes about charging:

• When the batteries are charged, remember to remove the headphone from charging cradle of the transmitter.
• Never leave the batteries charging for more than 48 hours.

Setting Up the Transmitter

The 2.4GHz digital wireless transmitter works with a wide variety of audio sources, from portable MP3 players to A/V receivers to DVD players or gaming systems. The way you set it up depends on the kind of output you want to use on your audio source.

To connect the transmitter to your audio source: 

1. Before you start, unplug the transmitter
2. Plug the white and red connectors of the stereo audio cable included into the red and white AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the transmitter. Make sure you match the red connector to the red jack and the white to the white.
    
3. Plug the other end of the stereo audio cable into the audio output or headphone jack on your MP3 player or other audio device.
4. Plug the transmitter back in. Note: High-output sources, such as DVD players or audio receivers/ amplifiers, may cause distortion if used at full volume with the transmitter. Try setting them at 1/2 or 2/3 volume.

If your audio source has stereo RCA outputs: Connect the red and white plugs of the included stereo (R/L) RCA jack adapter to the audio source’s line out jacks. Then plug the 3.5mm jack of the included stereo audio cable into the adapter, and connect the stereo cable to the transmitter.
