Safety instructions  
Safety instructions  
• Please read this instruction manual carefully and completely before  
using the devices.  
• Make this instruction manual easily accessible to all users at all  
times. Always include this instruction manual when passing the  
devices on to third parties.  
• Do not use the devices in situations which require special attention  
(e.g. when performing skilled jobs).  
• Always keep the devices dry and do not expose them to extreme  
temperatures.  
• Use the devices with care and set them up in a clean, dust-free  
environment.  
• Varnish or furniture polish may degrade the feet of the transmitter,  
which could stain your furniture. You should therefore place the  
transmitter on a non-slip pad to avoid potential staining of  
furniture.  
• Connected headphones contain magnets that generate a magnetic  
field which could cause dangerous interference with cardiac pace-  
makers and implanted defibrillators. Keep connected headphones at  
least 1.2” (3 cm) from cardiac pacemakers or implanted defibrilla-  
tors.  
• This receiver allows you to set higher volumes than conventional  
headphones. This can cause hearing damage in persons with healthy  
hearing and especially in children.  
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is  
required if the devices have been damaged in any way, liquid has  
been spilled, objects have fallen inside, the devices have been  
exposed to rain or moisture, do not operate properly or have been  
dropped.  
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose  
the device and the mains unit to rain or moisture.  
• Use only the supplied mains unit.  
• Disconnect the mains connector from the wall socket  
– to completely disconnect the device from the mains,  
– during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.  
• Ensure that the mains unit is  
– always readily operable and easily accessible,  
– properly plugged into the wall socket,  
– not covered or exposed to direct sunlight for longer periods of  
time in order to prevent heat accumulation,  
– only operated within the permissible temperature range (see  
– not operated near heat sources.

Putting the Set 830 S-MKE into  
operation  
Setting up the transmitter  
̈ Place the transmitter so that:  
– there are no obstacles in the light path between trans-  
mitter and receiver and  
– transmitter and receiver are not exposed to direct  
sunlight. Direct sunlight may interfere with the recep-  
tion and may damage the transmitter.  
If you are using a plasma TV screen:  
Plasma TV screens radiate an infra-red signal that can  
adversely affect the transmission quality.  
̈ Make sure that the transmitter is placed as far as  
possible from your plasma TV screen.  
̈ If necessary, use a standard extension cable (3.5 mm  
stereo jack plug) to reduce the distance between trans-  
mitter and receiver. This extension cable is available from  
your Sennheiser dealer.  
Note:  
One transmitter can be used to transmit to several  
receivers on the same frequency.

volume differences by boosting the volume of quiet sounds and  
reducing the volume of loud sounds if necessary.  
Compression seems to put the speech in the foreground, making it  
easier to understand.  
Compression is self-regulating; once it has been activated, it is not  
necessary to make any other settings.  
Treble boost (settings 2 and 3)  
Another typical age-related phenomenon is the deterioration of the  
hearing with regard to high frequencies. However, high frequencies are  
important for the intelligibility of speech.  
The treble boost makes the speech clearer and easier to understand.  
With the treble boost (settings 2 and 3), additional fine adjustment is  
possible using the treble boost control G at the rear of the transmitter.  
̈ Use a screwdriver to turn the treble boost  
control G to the left or right until the sound  
can be heard very well.  
The position “0” corresponds to a minimum  
boost, the position “MAX” corresponds to a  
maximum boost, and the control is factory-  
preset to the medium position.

Function of the treble boost control  
By means of the transmitter’s steplessly adjustable treble boost  
control G, the audio signal is boosted as shown in the diagram. The  
treble boost control G allows you to select one of the curves shown in

Changing the operating mode  
The transmitter can be set to a different operating mode. This is useful  
when the sound of your sound source is very low and the transmitter  
therefore does not always switch on automatically.

Particularities of operating mode 2:  
In operating mode 2, the transmitter is not switched on by the sound  
signal from the sound source.  
To switch the transmitter on:  
̈ Take the receiver out of the charging compartment.  
To switch the transmitter off:  
̈ Place the receiver into the charging compartment.  
If – in operating mode 2 – you want to use a second receiver and charge  
its rechargeable battery during operation:  
̈ Pull the battery out of the receiver’s battery

̈ Slide the battery into the transmitter’s
