Wireless RF transmission technology
With this headphone system you can move around freely in the home or outside in the garden without
the constrictions of a headphone cable! The RS 4 will transmit the stereo sound signal from your hi-fi
system or any other sound source to the headphone receiver.
The Sennheiser system operates on a carrier frequency of approx. 434 MHz (RS 4) or approx. 926 MHz
(RS 4-9), respectively. This frequency band has been licensed by the respective telecommunications
authoritiesfor“non-commercialuse”,andapartfromwirelesssoundtransmission,itisalsousedforremote
controls etc. (Please note: because of this, occasional interference may be experienced from e.g. car alarm
radio keys.)
The maximum distance between transmitter and receiver should not exceed 100 m. Walls and ceilings are
(almost) no obstacle, since radio waves travel through them. Transmission will remain clear and
intelligible, and it is not necessary that transmitter and headphone receiver are in a direct line of sight. The
onlyobstacleforradiowavesaremetalpartsas e.g. in concrete constructions orwallcoverings. They reflect
radio waves.
Ifseveral wirelessRS 4headphone systems
are operated simultaneously and are very
close to one another (e.g. on the next
floor, at a neighbour´s, or on the other
side of the street) you have to agree on
usingdifferent channels. For this purpose,
theRS4systemfeatures threetransmission
channels, so everybody can transmit the
music they want to listen to.
16
Where to place the transmitter
Choose a suitable place near your hi-fi system.
Putting the transmitter into operation
왘Use the supplied cable to connect socket on the transmitter to the headphone output socket of your
hi-fi system. The cable is fitted with a 3.5 mm jack plug suitable for most headphone output sockets.
For connection to 1/4" (6.3 mm) headphone outputs, use the supplied adaptor.
왘Connectthe plug-in mains unit to socket onthe transmitter and plug the mains unitintoa wall socket.
Antenna
The wire antenna is an integral part of the transmitter. For best transmission the antenna should be vertical.
You can therefore
왘leave the wire antenna dangling
in a vertical position down
behind the transmitter - or
왘(the better option) slide the sup-
plied plastic tubing over the an-
tenna and snap it into the clamps
at the back of the transmitter:
Make sure that there are no metal objects such as shelf bars or lamp stands in parallel with the antenna.
Do not place the transmitter on a TV set as it might interfere with the transmitter. Test where exactly in
the room the transmitter works best.
Automatic on/off switching
The transmitter features a convenient automatic on/off function:
왘When an audio signal reaches the transmitter, it is switched on.
왘If there is no audio signal for about 3 minutes, the transmitter automatically switches off. The
transmitter is now in stand-by mode, its power consumption is very low so that it can remain connected
to the mains.
Important
The transmitter’s charging function (charging compartments ) is independent of the automatic on/off
function. Accuplugs can always be recharged when the transmitter is connected to the mains.
17
Putting the receiver into operation
Insert the BA 151 rechargeable accuplug into the battery compartment on the headphone receiver.
Switching the headphone receiver on
Switch on the headphone receiver and adjust the volume with control .
Adjusting the receiver channel
Transmitter and headphone receiver have to work on the same frequency:
왘Put the transmitter and the headphone receiver into operation as described above. Switch on the signal
source! If possible, switch off its loudspeakers.
왘Select a transmission channel (1, 2 or 3) on the transmitter with switch .
왘Adjust the volume control on the headphone until you can hear a low hissing.
왘Slowly turn control ("TUNE") on the headphone until you can hear the audio signal loud and clear. The
receiver’s AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) circuitry stabilises your adjustment.
Transmitter and headphone receiver are now operating on the same frequency.
Simultaneous operation of several systems
Your neighbour also likes listening to music with an RS 4? No problem! With switch , you simply select
a different channel on each transmitter. Then set the headphone receivers to the respective frequencies
(with control , as described above). Observe a minimum distance of 2 m between two transmitters.
18
Adjustments on your hi-fi system
왘Please refer to the instruction manual of your hi-fi system to find out whether the volume control also
adjusts the headphone output or whether the output has to be regulated separately. You will also find
instructions on how to switch off the loudspeakers.
Optimum modulation level of the transmitter
왘First, set the volume of your hi-fi system to a medium value.
왘The T 4 transmitter is fitted with an automatic modulation control which prevents overmodulation of
the transmitter. The green LED on the front panel indicates optimum modulation. Now adjust the
volume on the hi-fi system such that the LED blinks in time with the music, this indicates the correct
transmission level.
Important!
왘Only use the transmitter with the suitable Sennheiser mains unit included in the supply schedule.
Always disconnect the mains plug when you want to change connections or move the device to a
different place.
왘Neveropenelectronic devices! This must only be done by authorised personnel and is all the more valid
for repairs on current-carrying units.
왘Keep the system away from central heating radiators and electric heaters. Never expose it to direct sunlight.
왘Use the system in dry rooms only. Transmitter and plug-in mains unit should always remain in the
home. You can use the headphone receiver outside if the weather is dry.
왘Use a damp cloth for cleaning the transmitter and the headphone receiver. Do not use any cleansing
agents or solvents.
Volume up? - No!
When people use headphones, they tend to choose a higher volume than with loudspeakers. Listening at
high volume levels for a long time can lead to permanent hearing defects. Please protect your hearing,
Sennheiser headphones also sound exceptionally good at low volumes ...
19
What to do if ...
... the volume is up but you 왘There is no audio signal available. Check the transmitter
cannot hear anything: connection. Is the volume at the headphone socket of your
hi-fi system or TV sufficient?
왘Are you still within the transmitter’s range?
왘Is the receiver on the same frequency as the transmitter?
... the sound is distorted: 왘The headphone accuplug has gone flat, please
recharge it immediately.
... the sound is slightly noisy: 왘You are about to leave the transmitter’s maximum range.
Soon transmission will be interrupted completely.
왘The transmitter’s modulation level is too low. Increase
the volume on your hi-fi system (see also page 18).
... you can hear twittering and 왘Two transmitters are interfering!
chirping, and the sound is “squeezed”: Choose a different transmission channel.
Accessories
The following items are available to complement your system:
•BA 151 Rechargeable accuplug as a spare, for use when
the supplied accuplug is being recharged
•L 150 Charger for recharging additional BA 151
accuplugs (recommended when more than two
headphone receivers are used with one
transmitter)
•HDR 4 or HDR 4-9 Additional headphone receivers
20
Charging cycle of rechargeable batteries
The charging time of your accuplug depends on how long you have used the headphone receiver.
General rule:
Operating time x 3 = charging time
Example:
listening: 1 hr listening: 2 hrs listening: 3 hrs
recharging: 3 hrs recharging: 6 hrs recharging: 9 hrs
Recharging the ba 151 accuplug
Do not use rechargeable batteries until they are completely flat. If you do, they will be exhausted and
cannot be recharged. This happens e.g. when flat accuplugs remain uncharged for some time. Please
observe the two following rules:
왘If you notice that the accuplug is going flat, turn off the headphone and recharge the battery immediately.
If you have a spare accuplug you can use it in the meantime.
왘Immediately recharge the accuplug after every use, no matter whether it is fully or only partly discharged.
왘Before using the accuplug for the first time, you should charge it for 24 hours in the transmitter’s charging
compartment .
Please note: the accuplug is also recharged when the transmitter is switched off but remains
connected to the mains.
Environment and health
Devices which operate on rechargeable batteries are environmentally friendly. They can be recharged
many times whereas standard batteries are hazardous waste after use. In case an accuplug is defective or
has been damaged due to exhaustive discharge, it can be recycled. Just return it to your specialist dealer.
Here you can also get new Sennheiser accuplugs.
According to today’s scientific knowledge, the radio waves emitted by this device are by no means harmful.
