When Installing the Unit
•Do not expose the unit to rain or an
environment where it may be splashed by
water or other liquids, as doing so may
resultinreorelectricshock.
•Usetheunitonlywiththevoltagespecied
on the unit. Using a voltage higher than
thatwhichisspeciedmayresultinreor
electric shock.
•Avoid installing or mounting the unit in
unstable locations, such as on a rickety
table or a slanted surface. Doing so may
result in the unit falling down and causing
personal injury and/or property damage.
When the Unit is in Use
•Should the following irregularity be found
during use, immediately switch off the
power, disconnect the AC adapter’s power
supply plug from the AC outlet and contact
your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further
attempt to operate the unit in this condition
asthismaycausereorelectricshock.
· If you detect smoke or a strange smell
coming from the unit.
· If water or any metallic object gets into the
unit
· If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
· If the power supply cord is damaged
(exposureofthecore,disconnection,etc.)
•To prevent a re or electric shock, never
open nor remove the unit case as there
are high voltage components inside the
unit.Referallservicingtoqualiedservice
personnel.
•Do not place cups, bowls, or other
containers of liquid or metallic objects on
top of the unit. If they accidentally spill into
the unit, this may cause a re or electric
shock.
•Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or
ammablematerialsintheventilationslots
oftheunit'scover,asthismayresultinre
or electric shock.
•DonottouchtheACadapter’spowersupply
plug during thunder and lightning, as this
may result in electric shock.
•Stop chargingifthe batteries are not fully
charged within 4 hours. Failure to do so
may cause the batteries to re, explode,
leak, or heat.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TheTOABC-2000isadedicatedbatterychargerfortheWM-D5200DigitalWirelessMicrophone
andWM-D5300DigitalWirelessTransmitter.ItworkswiththeoptionalAD-5000-2ACAdapter.
TheBC-2000employsaquickchargingsystemfornickel-metalhydride(Ni-MH)batteries,allowing
up to 2 units to be fully charged within 3 hours.
3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
•UsetheBC-2000inlocationswhereanambienttemperaturerangesfrom0to40ºC(32to104ºF).
•Whencleaningthecase,besuretorstswitchoffthepower,thenwipewithadrycloth.Neveruse
benzene, thinner, alcohol or chemically processed towels, as these may damage the charger’s
components and parts.
•Avoidusingthechargerasaholderforthewirelessmicrophone.
Frequently inserting and removing the wireless microphone from the charger will more quickly
exhaustthemicrophone’srechargeablebattery,leadingtofailure.

6. CHARGING
Avoid charging units installed with rechargeable batteries other
thanthededicatedWB-2000battery.
Charginganyotherthanthespeciedbatterycouldresultinre
or personal injury due to battery rupture.
CAUTION
Notes
•Usethechargerinlocationswhereambienttemperaturerangesfrom0to40ºC(32to104ºF).
•BesuretochargetheWB-2000batterybeforeuse.
•Ifthewirelessmicrophone,anditsWB-2000rechargeablebattery,hasbeenleftunusedfor10
days or more, be sure to fully charge the battery before operating the microphone.
•Donotuse thechargerin locations subjecttostrongvibrations aspoorelectricalcontact may
result, preventing correct charging.
•Do not frequently insert and remove the unit from the charger during charging as this could
degradetheWB-2000batteryperformance.
•Ifthebatteryoperatingtimeisextremelyshortevenwhenithasbeenfullycharged,besureto
replaceitwithanewWB-2000asthebatteryhasreachedtheendofitslife.
Tip: Undernormalusecondition,thebatterycancyclethroughabout500chargesanddischarges,
after which it will usually need to be replaced.
•Onlyrechargethemicrophone’sbatteryafterithasbeencompletelyexhausted.
 (Thewirelessmicrophonecanbecontinuouslyusedforapproximately8hoursperrecharging.)
 Frequentbatterychargingfollowingshort-termusemayacceleratebatteryexhaustion.
Step 1. ConnecttheoptionalAD-5000-2ACadaptertothecharger’spowerinputterminal.
Afterconnection,tthecordintothecharger’sbottomslottopreventtheACadapterplug
fromaccidentallyslippingoutofplace.(Seethenextpage,"Handlingthepowercord.")
Step 2. Connect the power cord to the AC adapter, then to an AC wall outlet.
Step 3. Set the charger’s power switch to ON.
The power indicator will light.
Step 4. Turnoffthepowerswitchoftheunittobecharged,thenloadtheWB-2000batteryinthe
unit.
For battery insertion instructions, please refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the
wireless microphone.
Step 5. InserttheWM-D5200orWM-D5300fullyintothecharger’srechargeableunitreceptacleas
illustratedonthenextpage.
Ensure that the charging status indicator lights red.
Charging takes about 3 hours, after which the full-charge indicator lights green. (Charging
timemayvarydependingonremainingbatterycapacitywhenchargingbegins.)
Notes
•Donotmovethewirelessmicrophoneduringcharging.
The battery may not fully or correctly charge due to disconnection from the charging
terminal’s contacts.
•Besurethewirelessmicrophoneisfullyinsertedintothecharger.
•TheWM-D5200microphonecanbechargedwhilefacinginanydirection(front,back,left,
right).
•TheDM-5300microphoneisdesignedtotintotheshapeofthereceptacle.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
Power indicator does not light
even if the power switch is
turned on.
The AC adapter is not plugged
into a working AC outlet, or is
not plugged in correctly.
Make sure the AC adapter is
plugged in to a working AC wall
outlet correctly.
AC adapter plug is not
connected to the charger.
Connect the plug to the
charger's power input terminal.
Charging indicator (red) does
not light even when the unit is
inserted into the rechargeable
unit receptacle.
The batteries used in the unit
maynotbededicatedWB-2000
batteries.
Install the appropriate
dedicated WB-2000 battery in
the unit.
The unit may not be seated
correctly in the rechargeable
unit receptacle.
Make sure that the unit
is inserted fully into the
receptacle as far as it will go.
Inserting the unit into the
rechargeable unit receptacle
causes the charging indicator
(red)toash.
The ambient temperature
may exceed the permissible
operating temperature range
(0 to 40 ºC, or 32 to 104 ºF),
preventing charging.
Perform charging within the
operating temperature range
(0to40ºC,or32to104ºF).
Full-charge indicator (green)
always lights soon.
The dedicated WB-2000
battery has probably reached
the end of its life cycle (usually
after about 500 charges and
discharges).
Replace the WB-2000 battery
with a new one.
Full-charge indicator does not
light even 4 hours after charging
has been started (maximum
chargingtime:3hours).
The battery may be at the end
of its life.
Replace the WB-2000 battery
with a new one.
Boththechargingindicator(red)
and the full-charge indicator
(green)lightalternately.
The unit may have been
installed with a non-WB-2000
battery.
Use a dedicated WB-2000
battery in the unit.
There may be foreign objects
(such as metals) in the
rechargeable unit receptacle.
Remove such foreign objects.
The battery may be at the end
of its life.
Replace the WB-2000 battery
with a new one.
The ambient temperature
may exceed the permissible
operating temperature range
(0 to 40 ºC, or 32 to 104 ºF),
preventing charging.
Perform charging within the
operating temperature range
(0to40ºC,or32to104ºF).
The charging terminals of
either the wireless microphone
or the bottom of the charger
microphone receptacle may be
dirty.
Clean out all dirt with a dry
cloth. If the charging terminals
areextremelydirty,cleanusing
a cotton swab dampened with
anhydrous ethanol (absolute
alcohol).
