Balance
You can adjust the volume balance between the right and left ear using the balance control (5).
This may be useful if your hearing is different in each ear and you thus require a higher volume for
one ear. When you have put on the headset (A) and playback is in progress, you then adjust this
control in order to find the setting that suits you best.
Settings on the base
Stereo/mono switch
If you hear the sound only in one ear despite the correct balance setting, turn the stereo/mono
switch (9) to the "mono" position. The same audio signal is played back left and right with this
setting.
In the "stereo" position, audio signals may be different left and right to represent surround sound.
Example: In a film, you see a dog barking on the left side. The barking of the dog would be mainly
audible in the left ear at the "stereo" setting. At the "mono" setting, you hear the dog barking
equally in both ears.
When you have put on the headset (A) and playback is in progress, you then adjust this control in
order to find the setting that suits you best.
Compression
You can switch on the compression with the compression switch (11). When you do so, faint
sounds are accentuated more during playback than loud sounds. This function is particularly useful
for people with a hearing impairment because it is primarily faint sounds that they usually fail to
hear as a result. The intelligibility of speech can be optimised in particular. When you have put on
the headset (A) and playback is in progress, you then adjust this control in order to find the setting
that suits you best.
Treble boost
You can achieve further improvement in speech intelligibility with the treble control (10). The trebles
of the audio playback can be continuously boosted as a result. When you have put on the headset
(A) and playback is in progress, you then adjust this control in order to find the setting that suits you
best. To amplify high tones, turn the control anti-clockwise towards the "MAX" marking.
Switching off the headset
You can switch off the headset (A) at any time by pressing the on/off button (15). If the headset (A)
does not receive any audio signal for about 210 seconds, it switches itself off in order to save the
built-in battery.
You must press the on/off button (15) again to resume playback.
