1 - Open the battery compartment by unscrewing counterclockwise the lower part of the microphone.
2 - Insert a 9 V battery, making sure to respect the polarities.
3 - Close the battery compartment. It is crucial to screw this compartment tightly as it is a contact
surface for the battery electrodes.
4 - Activate your receiver by pressing the Power button.
5 - If need be, adjust the output via the volume control knob on the front panel.
6 - Put the power switch onto the top position, the indicator will flash to indicate the microphone is now
activated.
7 - Use the middle position to mute the microphone when you do not need to talk.
8 - Use the "OFF" position when the microphone is not needed. Please remove the battery during long
periods of non-use in order to prevent leaks and damage your device.
9 - The LED indicator should not be lit once the microphone is activated. Remaining lit up indicates the
battery levels are too low. The battery is incorrectly inserted or fully empty if the indicator does not light
up at all.
It is crucial to take some time to read this user guide before using your microphone in order to prevent
poor handling which may cause severe damage to your device.
> Please make sure the mains deliver 230V before connecting your system.
> If the indicator of your microphone is continuously lit, that indicates the battery must be replaced by an
identical one. Please respect the polarities.
> When signal alterations appear, please check the distance between the transmitter and receiver, and
check the battery. Adjust the antenna or replace the battery if need be.
> Do not drop your microphone, do not hit the grille or blow too hard into the microphone.
