OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Thank you for purchasing RadioShack Rechargeable
900MHz Wireless Stereo Headphones. Your headphones
use the 900MHz band to deliver high-quality stereo sound to
almost anywhere in or around your home. Your headphones
use PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuitry and have a built-in
antenna to give you precise tuning, so you can enjoy your
favorite sounds without disturbing others anywhere around
your yard or house — up to 150 feet away from your stereo.

The EPA certified RBRC® Battery Recycling
Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery
indicates RadioShack is voluntarily participating
in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries
at the end of their useful life, when taken out of service in
the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides
a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into
the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be
illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-
843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and
disposal bans/restrictions in your area. RadioShack’s
involvement in this program is part of the company’s
commitment to preserving our environment and conserving
our natural resources.

2. If you are using the audio source’s output jacks,
connect the white and red plugs at the other end of the

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you
use your headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin
listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing
loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time,
your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level
that does not cause discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
