INSTALLATION & OPERATION
Choose a suitable location, free from magnetic or electrical
interference for installation and use of LH160v2.
(1) Install the LH160v2 onto a panel or wall, ensuring that the
cables are securely anchored.
(2) Connect the loop antenna or other compatible loop coil to
the loop output terminals. For optimal performance the
loop antenna should be located about 40 to 60cm in front
of the customer.
Press the tab above the connector terminal and release
after inserting the wire of the loop antenna (or coil). Polarity
is not important.
(3) Connect the supplied (optional) lapel microphone or any
other compatible Geemarc Microphone to the Mic jack.
(4) If required connect Aux input to the Aux jack.
(5) Using a small common blade flat screwdriver, turn the Mic,
Aux, Tone and Field Strength controls fully anti-clockwise
(to their minimum levels).
(6) Connect the AC power adaptor (optional) to the power input
socket. Check that the Power ON LED illuminates.
(7) Apply the input signal (for example speaking into the Mic) to
Mic and turn the corresponding control clockwise until the
corresponding LED begins to light up.

(8) Repeat the above for the AUX input from an MP3 player, if
used. While setting up, apply only one input at a time.
(9) While the input signal is present, adjust the Loop Current
adjustment control clockwise to get the desired loop output
level. The BLUE LED Loop Current Indication will become
brighter as the Loop current is increased.
(10) Test the performance of the system using a field strength
meter. Adjust the Tone and Loop Current controls to achieve
the desired performance. The Tone adjustment enables
compensation for loss of higher frequency signal during
transmission.
(11) Connect the handheld HAC receiver(optional) to the Audio
output socket and adjust the volume as desired using the
volume control.
