Preventing health problems  
̈ Before using the product, set the volume to a low level. To protect your  
hearing, avoid listening at high volume levels for long periods of time.  
̈ Do not use the product in situations which require special attention  
(e.g. in traffic or when performing skilled jobs).  
The product generates stronger permanent magnetic fields that could  
cause interference with cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators  
(ICDs).  
̈ Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94” (10 cm) between the ear  
piece housing and the cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator.  
Preventing damage to the product  
̈ Always keep the product dry and do not expose it to extreme temper-  
atures (normal operating temperatures: 5°C/41°F to 40°C/104°F).  
̈ Use the product with care and store it in a clean, dust-free environ-  
ment. Varnish or furniture polish may degrade the feet of the trans-  
mitter, which could stain your furniture. You should therefore place the  
transmitter on a non-slip pad to avoid potential staining of furniture.  
̈ Switch the headphones off after use to conserve battery power.  
Remove the batteries if the headphones will not be used for extended  
periods of time.  
Preventing damage to the power supply unit  
̈ To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the product to  
rain or moisture.  
̈ Unplug the mains unit from the wall socket to completely disconnect  
the product from the mains, during lightning storms or when unused  
for long periods of time.  
̈ Only operate the mains unit from the type of power source specified in  
the chapter “Specifications”.  
̈ To prevent heat accumulation, always ensure that the mains unit is in  
a safe operating condition and easily accessible, properly plugged into  
the wall socket and not covered or exposed to direct sunlight for longer  
periods of time.  
̈ Only use the power supply units, charging cables and accessories  
recommended by Sennheiser. An overview can be found on

Switch rechargeable battery-  
powered products off after use.  
Only charge recharge-  
able batteries at  
ambient temperatures  
between 10°C/50°F

When not using rechargeable  
batteries for extended periods  
of time, charge them regularly  
(about every 3 months).  
Do not mutilate or  
dismantle.  
Do not heat above 70°C/158°F,

Putting the RS 220 into operation  
Setting up the transmitter  
̈ Choose a suitable place near your audio source (e.g. TV, stereo or home  
cinema system). Avoid placing the transmitter close to metal objects  
such as shelf bars, reinforced concrete walls, etc. as this can decrease  
the transmitter’s range.  
It is not necessary that the transmitter and headphones are in the  
same room, so you can move around freely in the home or outside in  
the garden.

Canada. Operation is subjected to the following two conditions: 1) This  
device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept  
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired  
operation.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a  
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are  
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in  
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic-  
ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to  
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-  
ence by one or more of the following measures:

RF Radiation Exposure Information  
Since the radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio  
frequency exposure limits, it is not subjected to routine RF exposure eval-  
uation as per Section 2.1093 of the FCC rules. This device complies with the  
US and Industry Canada portable device RF exposure limits set forth for an  
uncontrolled environment and is safe for intended operation as described

device can be kept as far as possible from the user’s body or set to lower  
output power if such provision is available. The base portion of this device  
should be installed and operated at least 20 cm away from the user’s body.  
Use of other accessories not verified by the manufacturer may not ensure  
compliance with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure guidelines. This  
transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any  
other antenna or transmitter.
