CONNECTIONS  
CONNECTING THE TRANSMITTER  
The ARWH2 requires no software to setup, so you can start using the unit right  
away.  
1. Plug the transmitter USB plug into an available USB port on your computer.  
2. Press the Power button on the receiver to turn it on. The indicator comes on  
and turns blue when the receiver and transmitter are linked.  
Note: The transmitter and receiver are pre-linked for communication at the  
factory, but if the indicator on the receiver flashes blue when you turn it on, the  
units may need to be linked. To link them, press and hold the receiver’s Power  
button and the transmitter’s LINK button for 3 seconds. The indicator turns  
solid blue when both units are linked.  
3. Plug your headphones or the included earbuds into the headphone jack on  
the receiver.  
4. Open your music or communication software on your computer, and your  
ARWH2 is now ready to use.  
Note: The headphone jack on the receiver uses a 3.5mm standard headphone  
plug, so if you want to use a headset or earpiece from your cell phone, you will  
need to use an adapter.

the docking pins on the receiver match up to the holes on the transmitter,

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
The following troubleshooting guide takes you through some of the more  
common problems associated with the installation and/or operation of a  
wireless system. If the problem persists, please call toll-free 1-800-732-6866 or  
NO POWER  
Make sure the receiver is charged and that the transmitter is properly  
connected to your computer. Try another USB port and use one directly on  
your computer, if possible (e.g. not through a hub).  
NO SOUND  
Make sure the receiver is charged. If the indicator is red, the battery is low.  
Check that your music or communications software is transmitting sound as  
it normally should. Make sure the sound is not muted through the software.  
The ARWH2 is not set as the default audio device in your PC’s system setup.  
Use the audio settings in Windows® under Sounds and Audio Devices to  
select the ARWH2 as the audio output.  
Confirm that the receiver is turned on and linked to the transmitter (the  
indicator is steady blue). If the indicator is flashing blue, the receiver is not  
linked to the transmitter. Press and hold the LINK button on the transmitter  
and the Power button on the receiver for 3 seconds to link the units.  
INTERRUPTED SOUND  
Make sure the receiver is charged. If the indicator is red, the battery is low.  
You may be out of range. Move closer to the transmitter. Sending the signal  
through certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal, can decrease the  
effective transmitting distance of the system.  
SKYPE ISNT WORKING RIGHT  
Make sure Skype is set up correctly in the Tools menu. See page 9 for  
details on how to enable keyboard shortcuts.  
LISTEN SAFELY!  
Enjoy your earphones at a safe volume. Avoid or limit the amount of time you  
listen at higher volumes—permanent hearing loss may occur if the earphones  
are used at too high a volume. If you experience a ringing in your ears, or  
your own voice and other sounds seem muffled, stop using the earphones and  
consult a hearing professional.
