Refer to the following for any sound issues you may be experiencing:

If you are receiving a signal, but it is not clear, first change the radio frequency with the CHANNEL selector switch on the transmitter, then briefly press the AUDIO TUNING button on the headphones.
Verify that the headphones are firmly plugged into the correct jack on the Audio source. In most cases this will be a headphone jack or audio out.
Make sure that the POWER switch on the Headphones is in the ON position. When the Headphones are on, thePOWER LED of the Headphone should light up green. If it does not, your headphones will need to be charged.
Make sure that the volume of the Headphones is turned up.
Make sure that audio is coming from the source. You may need to turn the volume up on the audio source. For example, if the source is a television, turn up the volume of the TV to a higher level and use the volume on the headphones to adjust the volume to the desired listening level.
If possible, connect the transmitter to a different source to test, or use another wired headphones just to make sure sound is coming from the input you are connected to.
If your Transmitter is connected to a Television, make sure your TV is configured properly.
If audio is being heard from the left side of the headphones only, make sure the device from which it is connected has stereo output capability.IMPORTANT: A mono device will only output sound to the left side.

The location of the battery is not specified on the MDRRF985RK operating instructions.
