WARNING: Only use the dedicated charger, supplied by Abilia, to

the product.
1. Fully charge your Micro Voice before using it for the first time.

correctly.
The battery takes 6 hours to charge and lasts for about a week if used for 8
hours per day. The LED indicator can assume the following colours:
Green – Battery is charged. Green flashing – Battery is charging
Orange flashing – Battery is low
Red flashing – You have a short time before your battery runs out.
Use Micro Voice
WARNING: Do not put the microphone and the amplifier close
together. This causes an acoustic feedback which, when set at high
volume, may cause hearing impairment.
1. Decide how you want to wear your Micro Voice. You can attach it to your
waist using the waist belt.
2. Plug the microphone into the Microphone Port.
3. Position the microphone:
a. For the AVI Headset Microphone: Fit it around the back of your
head with the loops over your ears and move the microphone
close to your mouth.
b. For the Lapel Clip Microphone: attach it to your clothing close
to your mouth.
c. For the Transdermal Microphone: make sure it is fitted flatly
against the skin at the top half of your neck above the collar
line.
