type plate of the adapter corresponds
to the local mains voltage before
connecting to the mains power supply.
Remove the batteries from the
headphone’s battery compartment and
disconnect the adapter from the mains
if the system is not in use for a long
period.

– Check if the AC/DC adapter is fully inserted into the
AC outlet and that its DC connector is properly inserted
into the 12Volt DC input connector located at the rear
of the transmitter.
– Check if the headphone’s on/off switch is in the on
position.
– Headphone batteries running low. Open the
headphone’s battery compartment.Take out the
batteries and replace them with fresh batteries.
(See Headphone power supply)
– Check if the audio source is switched on and tuned to
a channel with audio.
–Volume not adjusted.Adjust the volume on the audio
source/ headphone to a higher level.
– Adjust the headphone’s tuning frequency.Turn the
tuning wheel until the signal is at its clearest.
– Make use of the HC8332 transmitter. Some
transmitters already built into other equipment may not
be compatible with the HC8305 headphone because of
the advanced technologies used in the HC8305
headphone.
Maintenance
– If the headphone will not be used for a long time,
please remove the batteries to prevent leakage and
corrosion.
– Do not leave the headphone near heat sources. Do
not expose to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture,
