Troubleshooting:
1. Signal dropouts and noise may be suddenly encountered by interruption from outside if there is too
long a distance between microphone and receiver, or battery power is low. In such a case, adjust
receiver antenna or change battery.
2. Do not drop the unit on a hard concrete floor any resulting damage may prevent the unit from
operating correctly
3. Remove the battery if not in use for a long time. This will prevent damage that a defective
"leaking" battery may cause.

Operating Instructions
1. Push to open the battery cover. Insert six 1.5V “C” batteries into the battery compartment according to
polarity (+) and (-) indication marked on the housing.
2. Select a frequency to use via the rotary switch on the rear of the unit, matching it to your chosen
transmitters (handheld or beltpack).
PLEASE NOTE: There are 2 types of transmitters available, both are compatible with this unit. Series
1 transmitters have DIP switch frequency selection. Series 2 transmitters have a rotary switch
selection. Please refer to table 1 “Frequency cross reference chart” for details.
3. When switching on the power to the unit the power indicator will flash once. If the power indicator
stays illuminated then batteries should be replaced.
4. When switching on the transmitter the RF signal indicator should illuminate showing that RF signal is
being received by the desktop PA system.
5. Adjust the output level as desired.
6. A wired microphone can be connected via the 6.35mm unbalanced jack and may be used at the same
time as the wireless microphone. A separate volume control is provided for the wired microphone.

Beltpack Microphone:
A range of microphones and pickups are available for the belt pack transmitter including tie clip mic,
lecture type headset, aerobics type headset, and guitar pickup. The belt pack microphone is equipped
with a line/mic switch.
Operation: (See Fig 4.)
1. Push to open the battery cover.
2. Insert 2 x 1.5V batteries into the battery holder according to polarity (+) and (-) indication marked
on the battery housing.
3. Replace Battery Cover.
4. Connect the microphone or guitar pickup to the unit.
5. Set the line / mic switch to match the sound source (line / mic). Line is for guitar input.
6. After setting the chosen frequency to the same frequency as the receiver, push the power switch to
“ON”. The LED indicator will flash to indicate the unit is operational.
7. Push the power button to “OFF” when mic is not used, and remove the battery in microphone if not
used for a long time. This will prevent damage to the unit that a defective "leaking" battery may
cause.
8. If the LED indicator is permanently illuminated, the battery needs to be replaced.
9. If the LED indicator does not flash at all when first switched on then check battery is inserted
correctly and batteries are not completely flat.
PRECAUTIONS:
* AVOID EXTREMELY DIRTY OR DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS.
* AVOID AREAS WHERE THERE IS EXTREMELY HIGH HUMIDITY.
* TWO OR MORE WIRELESS MICROPHONES (HANDHELD AND/OR LAVALIER) WHICH
TRANSMIT AT THE SAME FREQUENCY CAN NOT BE USED IN THE SAME LOCATION AS
THIS WILL CAUSE INTERFERENCE.

Operation: (See Fig 3.)
1.Unscrew the bottom half of the microphone, to access the battery compartment and channel selector.
2. Insert 2 x AA Size 1.5V batteries into the battery holder according to polarity (+) and (-) indicator
marked on the battery housing.
3. Screw the battery cover back onto the microphone..
4. After setting the chosen frequency to the same frequency as the receiver, push the power switch to
"ON". The LED indicator will flash once to indicate the unit is operational.
5. Push the power button to "OFF" when mic is not in use. Remove the batteries from the unit if not to
