Precautions
Plug the power plug all the way in
An improperly plugged power plug may lead to electric shocks, overheating, and fires.
󱾀Do not use damaged power plugs or loose power sockets.
Directly grab the plug to remove the power cable from the socket
Failing to do so may damage the cord and lead to fire or electric shocks.
Regularly remove dust from the electric plug
The insulation on a dusty plug may fail when it is subject to elements such as humidity,
thus leading to fire or electric shocks.
󱾀Remove the power cord and clean it with a dry cloth.
If the product shows any abnormality, immediately stop using it
If the product shows abnormalities such as smoke or an unusual smell, continuing to use it
may pose a fire hazard.
󱾀Immediately remove the power cord and contact the retailer.
Do not attempt to repair or wire the product while it is turned ON
It may lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not use near flammable gases
Doing so may lead to explosions and injuries.
Do not install the product where there is a risk of damage from seawater or
corrosive gases
This may cause the mounting unit to deteriorate, leading to accidents and injuries.
Do not place on unstable surfaces
The product may fall leading to accidents or injuries.
Only use the included AC adaptor (unified polarity plug)
Different AC adaptors may have different polarizations, resulting in smoke or fires.
Do not use where there is a risk of exceeding the maximum recommended
wattage for the socket or the wiring, and only use 120 V current
Overloading multi-outlet extension cords could result in overheating and fires.
Do not let foreign substances into the product
Water or metals entering the product may lead to fires or electric shocks.
󱾀Immediately remove the power cord and contact the retailer.
Avoid damaging the power cord and power plug
(by breaking them, tampering with them, bringing them near heat sources,
bending them excessively, twisting them, pulling on them, placing heavy
objects on them, tying them, etc.)
Using a damaged power cord or power plug may cause electric shocks, short circuits, or
fires.
󱾀Entrust the repair of the power cord and power plug to a retailer.

Other than the aforementioned “Precautions”, make sure to follow the points below.
This product is intended for indoor use only
󱾀It cannot be used outdoors.
Avoid exposing the product to direct sunlight for extended periods of time, and do not install it
near air conditioners or heaters. Failing to do so may lead to damage to the shape and color of
the product, and may cause it to malfunction. Also avoid exposure to water droplets and bubbles.
Use this product with care
󱾀This product contains delicate components which may be damaged by improper use or
storage.
󱾀Repair or replace any damaged components.
The operating temperature and humidity ranges are
󱾀Between 5 °C (41 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and under 90% humidity. The charger may not
function outside of these ranges.
Charging
󱾀Remove the microphones from the charger once charging is complete.
󱾀Both the microphones and the charger heat up during charging, but this is not due to a
malfunction.
󱾀Batteries which are being used for the first time or batteries which have not been used
for a long time (more than three months) may not be completely recharged in just one
cycle, resulting in less usable time for the microphones. This phenomenon is
characteristic of the rechargeable batteries. The battery runtime may be recovered to the
normal level by completely charging and then depleting (by using the microphone) the
batteries two or three times.
Power specifications
󱾀The charger uses AC 120 V (60 Hz) power. Connect the charger to an enough capacity
power source.
When not using for an extended period of time
󱾀Remove the power cord from the power socket.
During thunderstorms
󱾀Do not insert microphones into the charger. Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Maintenance
󱾀Turn OFF the power and clean the product with a dry cloth.
󱾀Do not use volatile chemicals such as benzene or paint thinner.
󱾀When using chemically treated cloths, carefully read the included instructions.

inserted into the charger, the [CHG] indicator of the
former will show the charging status as follows:
On: Charging
Off: Charging complete or the microphone is not
set correctly on the charger.
Blinking:
Usually caused by one of the following.
󱾁The microphone may contain a dry-cell or
deteriorated rechargeable battery, or the
battery may be absent. Make sure that the
proper type of battery is inserted.
󱾁The rechargeable battery may be outside of
the operating temperature range. Make sure
that the battery is within the operating
temperature range.

ENGLISH
Important
󱾀Also refer to the microphone manual.
󱾀The microphone cannot be used while in charging.
󱾀Microphones will not be charged if they are not correctly set on the
charger.
󱾀If the charger cannot directly contact the
microphone because of an obstruction, the
[ERROR] indicator on the charger will either
light up or blink. Failing to remove the
obstruction may cause overheating.
Remove any foreign matter which may be
causing the obstruction.
󱾀Set the power switch on the microphone to OFF while charging. Even
when you insert the microphone into the charger with the power switch in
ON position, the microphone is automatically turned OFF and the battery
will be charged. However, in such event, you still need to move the
power switch to the OFF position. (This is because the battery power will
be slightly consumed after charging when the switch is in ON position.)
󱾀Hold the charger with your hand when removing a microphone from it.
memo
󱾀In order to avoid battery capacity reduction due to self-discharge, the charger
will continue to pass minute current to the microphones even after the [CHG]
indicator on the microphone has gone off. The [CHG] indicator on the charger
will not light up unless the charger itself is powered OFF and then ON again.
󱾀If the [CHG] indicator does not light up despite a microphone being inserted
into the charger, confirm that all the links between charger, AC adaptor,
power cable, and electric outlet are securely connected.
󱾀The charging time depends on the battery type and the specific use
situation, but at longest it will be around eight hours.
󱾀Charging the batteries outside of their operating temperature range may
substantially increase the amount of time required for charging.
Even if the batteries are within their operating temperature range, charging
while the microphone is very hot or cold may increase the amount of time
required for charging.
󱾀Both the microphone and the charger heat up during charging, but this is not
due to a malfunction.
󱾀Do not try to charge already full batteries. Doing so will reduce the lifespan
of the batteries.
Charge error indicator

18
Charging
memo
󱾀Some kinds of batteries may not be fully recharged in just one cycle and the
runtime becomes small. This happens to the batteries which are being used
for the first time, batteries which have not been used for a long (more than
three months) time, and batteries which have been recharged and depleted
numerous times. This phenomenon is characteristic of the rechargeable
batteries. The battery runtime may be recovered to the normal level by
completely charging and then depleting (by using the microphone) the
batteries two or three times.
󱾀The charger automatically recognizes the dry-cell battery inside the
microphone to cancels charging, and then the [CHG] indicator will blink.
However, depending on the type of dry-cell battery, this automatic
recognition may take some time and the [CHG] indicator stay lit until the
recognition completes.
󱾀Sometimes, when trying to recharge almost-full batteries at very low
temperatures, these may be mistakenly recognized as non-rechargeable
dry-cell batteries, and the [CHG] indicator may start blinking.
󱾀The microphones are charged through inductive charging. Because of
inductive charging regulations, the [PWR] indicator on the microphone may
go off multiple times just before charging is completed, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
󱾀 Sometimes, when trying to charge almost-empty batteries, these may be
mistakenly recognized as dry-cell batteries, stopping the charging and
making the [CHG] indicator start blinking. If this happens, remove the
microphone from the charger and re-insert it multiple times until the batteries
are properly recognized. If the batteries cannot be recharged despite
multiple attempts, it means that they are completely exhausted and need to
be replaced.
󱾀If, once charging is complete, the batteries in the microphone spontaneously
drain, charging will not start again even if the microphone is still inserted into
the charger.
