Operating procedures
After unpacking the unit for the rst time, please charge the unit for about 4-5 hours before
any operation. This is absolutely necessary as the built-in rechargeable battery might have
been discharged naturally due to long shipment and storage time, even though it has been
fully charged in the factory prior to shipment.
To operate this portable sound unit, switch on the main POWER switch, the GREEN LED
above it will glow. However, if the RED LED also glows at the same time, it means the
battery is getting weak and a recharge of the battery is necessary.
The main POWER switch does NOT switch on the Wireless receiver module and Tape/CD
Player/Digital Recorder as each of them has dedicated Power / Volume control switch on
its panel. To operate each of them, you must switch them on accordingly.
Operating the dynamic wired microphone.
To use a cable microphone, simply plug it into any MIC IN socket. The mic sockett accepts
both phone and Cannon jack. Rotate the dedicated volume control knob and master
volume control, amplied sound could be heard from the speaker when voice is spoken
into the cable microphone.
When a full range high delity sound is emphasized, the mode selector (3) should be put to
MUSIC. For vocal frequencies where better clarity and projection is emphasized, put the
mode selector to SPEECH and this will produce more mid-range frequency.
Operating the Wireless Microphone System.
To operate the wireless system, just switch on the power/volume control on the module
panel and the matching transmitter. Please have the channel setting on both the transmitter
and receiver module be the same before operation. Please as well make sure that master
volume control is set to minimum level before turning the unit on, especially working on
a wireless version! Set the Master volume control to the mid position. Rotate the volume
control knob on receiver panel clockwise to the desired levels. When voice is spoken into
the microphone, amplied sound should be heard over the built-in speaker.

First turn on the Power of the main unit. Then turn on the individual power of the RM190U
receiver module. Select a desired channel by pressing the ▲ or ▼ button and the
corresponding channel on the Transmitter.
When transmitter is turned on, either A or B diversity indicator will flash to indicate that
signal has been received. Turning the volume control in clockwise direction can increase
the audio output. Once the power volume on the transmitter is too low, the LED indicator (4)
on this panel grow will grow to remind.
Frequency scanning
It is the automatic scan function key. To perform the scan function, the transmitter must be
switched off. Once the key is being pressed, the unit will do an auto scan and the next
clean channel will be displayed. Change the transmitter channel setting to this setting for
an interference- free operation.
Squelch(SQ) setting
When a channel is in use and undesired interference signal is received, turn the SQ
in clockwise direction to make the receiver less sensitive and thus less susceptible to
interference. If this still does not solve the problem, it means this frequency is not applicable
at current position. Please switch over to the next channel.
TM190 Transmitter module
1. Channel indicator
2. Antenna socket(TNC type)
3. Channel selectors: Press ▲(up)▼(down) to increase/decrease channel number. Please
select a non-interfering frequency channel to those used in the receiver modules.
4. Power on/off
5. Audio sensitivity: Clockwise to increase its sensitivity level and anticlockwise to reduce.
6. Output power switch. L for LOW output power and H for high output power. LOW output
power will reduce the RF transmission distance and HIGH output power will extend the
possible RF transmission distance.
However, if TM190 is installed in portable ampliers, HIGH output power will reduce
more operation time than LOW output power since it requires more power for longer RF
transmission.

Background music will return to its original setting when no audio input is entering the
microphone for a certain time. However, if the microphone is not switch off, the reentering
of music into the microphone will also activate the voice priority function. So, Voice
priority is best operated using microphones with on / off switch.
However, in an aerobic operation, Voice Priority should NOT be activated !

Wired Audio Link
The WPSS150M could be operated as MASTER only. The WPSS150S can only be
operated
as SLAVE.
In order to operate Audio Link, you must have a WPSS150M unit that operates as a
MASTER. Only one unit is allowed to act as MASTER and the other(s) MUST operate as
SLAVE(s). A MASTER unit is capable of connecting up to about 20 SLAVE units.
To operate Audio Link, connect the Active Out (10) of the MASTER to the Audio Link IN (18)
of the 1st SLAVE unit. The Out (19) of this SLAVE should be connected to the IN jack (18)
of the 2nd SLAVE unit. Similar connection shall continue as such for the following SLAVE
units.
Volume Control (6) for MASTER or (20) for SLAVE.
When used on the MASTER, it controls the MASTER as well as all the SLAVE units.
When used on the SLAVE unit, it only controls that particular SLAVE unit volume.
Maximum number of SLAVE units to be connected with a MASTER is about 20.
Wireless Audio Link
Different from Wired Audio Link, with new SLAVE's capability of installation of receiver
and transmitter modules it eliminates all cable connection and largely extends the number
limit of SLAVEs.
One Master + several SLAVEs (with receiver and transmitter modules built in) : For crowds
of over 3000.
