Installation Tips:
• Ports on the front of TVs are usually audios in ports
and will not send sound to your TV Ears.
• Fixed/Variable Audio Setting: audio out ports may be
marked fixed or variable/fixed or R & L. A fixed audio
out setting will allow the television volume to work
independently from the TV Ears headset. The
television volume can be on mute or at a low level
while the TV Ears' volume can be turned up.
• Consult your television manual / manufacturer
to manually program the television to FIXED
audio if currently set to variable audio.
• TV Ears does not work with digital audio out ports.
Please contact your local TV Ears customer service for
assistance with digital audio out ports.
Place and Power the
TV Ears Transmitter
The transmitter lights must be in direct line of sight with
the headset so the headset can receive the infrared signal.
1. Place the transmitter on a flat surface 3-5 feet off the
ground.
2. Point the front of the transmitter towards the
seating area where the headset will be used. Plug
the opposite end of the AC adapter
labeled '12V' on the back of the transmitter.
3. Plug the AC adapter into a standard electrical outlet
or surge protector.
Note: The transmitter will not operate properly if unplugged
from an electrical source and must remain plugged-in
to charge the headset and transmit the infrared signal.
