Setting Up The System
Batte y Installation
The Devine bodypack is powered by two 1.5 V AA batteries. Always use high-quality batteries since this can
affect power efficiency and cause the axi u operation ti e to vary between 7 to 10 hours depending on
battery quality.
To gain access to the battery co part ent, gently press the co part ent lid to open it. Place the batteries in
the co part ent according to the included polarity indicators (+/-).
An ON/OFF button has been fitted to the front of the bodypack and also functions as a ute switch. By
holding the button down, the device is powered on. The integrated LCD screen of the bodypack is activated
and will light up.
Bodypack Set Up
The WMD-168MKII-B bodypack kit co es including two different icrophones: a lavalier and a headset.
Both icrophones are hands-free, have the sa e specifications and only differ in the way that they can be
worn. The perfor er can choose to wear the connecting cable under their clothing and the bodypack itself
can be worn discreetly using the included belt clip. It is always reco ended that the cable is tucked safely
beneath the user's clothing to avoid the cable catching or snagging, possibly causing da age to the
icrophone and interrupting the perfor ance.
When using the headset, the icrophone has been designed for place ent on the left of the head while the
ear-hook on the other side of the headset fits co fortably on the right ear of the user. Soft padding has been
fitted on the icrophone side of the headset to ease the weight.
The clip-on lavalier icrophone can be used when the icrophone needs to be as discreet as possible and
can be neatly clipped onto a collar or lapel for co fortable use. When used live, always ensure that the
lavalier icrophone is not in danger of brushing against any clothing as this will lead to the a plification of
unwanted noise.
Connecting the Bodypack to the Receive
The WMD-168MKII-B bodypack is designed for use in co bination with the Devine WMD-168MKII wireless
icrophone syste . To connect the bodypack, hold the infrared (IR) sensor of the bodypack close to the IR
sensor of the receiver before pressing the Set button of the desired icrophone channel (channel 1 or 2). If
necessary, the battery co part ent of the bodypack can be opened to widen the IR sensor range. The
bodypack and receiver should now be coupled on the frequency as selected on the receiver. If the
synchronisation has been successful, the integrated display screen of the bodypack will light up and show
the newly set channel and frequency. The display screen on the front of the receiver will display the signal
strength, indicated by ‘RF’. For ore infor ation about the receiver, see the Devine WMD-168MKII user
