breathing, wind and POP noises.
2. Fixed Ring
3. Battery Compartment: Accommodates one 18500 rechargeable battery.
4. Housing: Protects transmitter PCB, battery compartment and battery.
5. Ascertain the power is turn “ON” to see battery status.
 Normal Battery: LEDs indicates battery meters.
 Weak Battery: Red LED is lit. Recharge or insert a new recharged battery.
 No LEDs light: battery is completely drained or polarity inserted incorrectly.
6. Power On/O Switch: Always power o the transmitter to conserve battery life when not in use.
7. CCS Infrared (IR) Sync Port: Receives signals from receiver to synchronize frequencies automatically.
8. Battery Charging Contact: Align contacts during charging.

dierentiation.

Operating instructions for insertion& removing battery
1. Remove grill in counter clock direction.
2. Press and hold both sides of microphone capsule module and remove gently.
3. Ascertain the battery is inserted according to its correct polarity. A click is heard once correctly inserted
and grill can be closed properly. No click is heard and grill cannot be closed properly if battery is inserted
with the wrong polarity.
NOTE:
Transmitter cannot be powered on with a charged battery.
a. Check for correct polarity insertion. (+ facing up)
b. If inserted with correct polarity and still cannot be powered on it could be due to battery protection
mechanism is in eect. Insert the whole transmitter back to the battery charger for 10 seconds to
“wake-up” and power on again.
c. If battery charger is not used, reverse battery polarity for 10 seconds and then re-inserted with correct
polarity to wake up the battery. Power on again.

Operating Instructions
1. Power On & O
a. Power On: Push the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” location, the battery indicators will light.
b. Power O: Push the ON/OFF switch back, the battery indicators will go out.
2. Battery Status Display
a. Red LED indicator is lit when battery is too low. Please recharge or insert a new recharged battery. e
microphone will be shut down automatically if the battery keeps low status

Rear Cap has an On/O Switch Protection
e patented color rear cap serves two purposes; it provides easy channel identication and protects the on/
o switch. It is designed to allow the on/o switch to either be exposed or concealed as desired. You can avoid
unintended switching o of the microphone by rotating the color rear cap 180 degrees to x the on/o switch.
e cap can be removed by gripping it rmly and pulling; be sure to push it rmly into place when replacing it
on the microphone.
Note: During microphone usage, the color rear cap must be installed.
Press both sides and pull out to remove the rear cap
Turn the rear cap 180 degree and insert back
e ON/OFF switch is immovable
General Tips for Improving System Performance
1. Performer should avoid holding the microphone over or near the antenna section as this will deteriorate
transmission eciency. Severe deterioration if performer directly covers up the antenna section with both hands.
2. Many performers tend to hold the microphone by the top grille. Unfortunately, this position seriously
degrades both the sound quality and directionality of a microphone. Even the most expensive microphones will
have its original sound quality compromised by this method. Grabbing a microphone by the grille will isolate
the capsule’s acoustic resonance circuit or change the capsule resonator’s frequency. is results in an inferior
performance in both frequency response and the separation of directionality. In addition, a palm’s sound-
focusing eect will tend to strengthen resonances in certain frequencies and can cause unwanted echo.
3. A proper technique is required for using directional microphones because the distance between the
microphone and your mouth has a signicant impact on sensitivity and performance. ere is an inverse
relationship between microphone sensitivity and the distance from the mouth to the microphone. Consequently,
performers with a ‘’weaker’’ sound level cannot expect to hold the microphone too far away from their mouth

and compensate by turning up the amplier volume to increase the sound level as this can easily cause echo or
feedback. In contrast, performers with a ‘’louder’’ sound level should not hold the microphone too close as this
can easily result in distortion by causing the amplier system to be overloaded.
4. Furthermore, a large-diaphragm directional microphone has a very distinct proximity eect. When
the microphone is close to the mouth, the bass response is strengthened as the distance gets closer. erefore,
if a performer’s sound is insucient in bass, they can hold the microphone closer and use the proximity eect
to help compensate for the lower bass level. Conversely, if a performer’s voice is too heavy in the bass register,
increasing the distance between the microphone and their mouth will decrease the proximity eect and reduce
the bass response, thus making their voice become clearer and brighter.
5. It is recommended to keep the grille and sponge windscreen clean to avoid any substance blocking the
proximity eect of the microphone.
