•Afterreading,keepthismanualhandyforfuturereference.
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
inreorelectricshock.
•Use the unit only with the voltage specied
ontheunit.Usingavoltagehigherthanthat
whichisspeciedmayresultinreorelectric

•Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor
modify the power supply cord. In addition,
avoidusingthepowercordincloseproximity
to heaters, and never place heavy objects --
including the unit itself -- on the power cord,
asdoingsomayresultinreorelectricshock.
•Avoid installing or mounting the unit in
unstable locations, such as on a rickety table
oraslanted surface.Doingso mayresultin
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 power supply plug from the AC
outlet and contact your nearest TOA dealer.
Make no further attempt to operate the unit in
thisconditionasthismaycausereorelectric
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
(exposureofthecore,disconnection,etc.)
•Topreventareorelectricshock,neveropen
nor remove the unit case as there are high
voltage components inside the unit. Refer all
servicing to your nearest TOA dealer.
•Donotplacecups,bowls,orothercontainers
of liquid or metallic objects on top of the unit.
If they accidentally spill into the unit, this may
causeareorelectricshock.
•Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or
ammable materials inside the battery
charger or its infrared microphone receptacle,
asthismayresultinreorelectricshock.
•Do not touch a power supply plug during
thunder and lightning, as this may result in
electric shock.
•Stop charging if the batteries are not fully
charged within 3 hours. Failure to do so may
cause the batteries to re, explode, leak, or
heat.
When Installing the Unit
•Never plug in nor remove the power supply
plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause
electric shock.
•Whenunpluggingthepowersupplycord,be
sure to grasp the power supply plug; never
pull on the cord itself. Operating the unit with
a damaged power supply cord may cause a
reorelectricshock.
•When moving the unit, be sure to remove
its power supply cord from the wall outlet.
Moving the unit with the power supply cord
connected to the outlet may cause damage
to the power supply cord, resulting in re or
electric shock.
•Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty
locations, in locations exposed to the direct
sunlight, near the heaters, or in locations
generating sooty smoke or steam as doing
otherwisemayresultinreorelectricshock.
When the Unit is in Use
•Ifdustaccumulatesonthepowersupplyplug
or in the wall AC outlet, a re may result.
Clean it periodically. In addition, insert the
plug in the wall outlet securely.
•Unplug the power supply plug from the AC
outlet for safety purposes when cleaning or
leaving the unit unused for 10 days or more.
Doingotherwisemaycauseareorelectric
shock.
•Use the dedicated AC adapter for the unit.
Note that the use of other adapter may cause

•Avoid charging microphones installed
with rechargeable batteries other than the
dedicated IR-200BT battery. Charging any

•Whentheinfraredwirelessmicrophoneisnot
in use for 2 weeks or more, be sure to take
the batteries out of the microphone because
battery leakage may cause a re, personal
injury, or contamination of environment.
•Makesuretoobservethefollowinghandling

TheTOAIR-310BCisadedicatedbatterychargerfortheIR-310MInfraredWirelessMicrophone.
It employs a quick charging system for nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery, allowing up to an
infrared wireless microphone to be fully charged within 3 hours.
3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• SincethesuppliedpowercordisdesignedforusespecicallywiththeIR-310BCcharger,donot

• UsetheIR-310BCinlocationswhereanambienttemperaturerangesfrom0to40ºC(32to104ºF).
• ChargetheIR-200BTbatterybeforeusingit.
• IfaninfraredwirelessmicrophonecontaininganIR-200BTbatteryhasbeenstoredforalong

• Avoidusingthechargerinlocationssubjecttostrongvibrations,astheresultingpoorelectrical
contact may prevent correct charging.
• Donotfrequentlyinsertandremovethemicrophonefromthechargerduringcharging,asthis
could reduce the number of times that the IR-200BT can be effectively charged and discharged.
• Rechargeablebatteriesareconsumablesanddonotlastindenitely.Ifthebatteryoperatingtime

• Whencleaningthecase,besuretorstunplugthepowersupplyplugfromtheACoutlet,then
wipe with a soft dry cloth. If it gets very dirty, use the soft cloth slightly moistened in neutral
cleanser. Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or chemically processed towels, as these may
damage the charger’s components and parts.
• Clean the charging terminals regularly using a dry cotton swab, paying attention not to bend
themapplyingexcessivepower(tothedirectionwhichtheterminalcannotmove).Dirtyorbent
terminals can cause poor electrical contact and cause batteries to be charged incorrectly.
