! When the battery has less than 10% power
remaining, display will start flashing and
batteries must be replaced immediately. If an

Power Button
! Turn the power switch to ON position where
transmitter will be activated and LCD will lit up.
! Turn the power switch to OFF position to shut
down the transmitter.
! When the power switch is turned off, the LCD
will show “OFF...” (for Power Off) first and then
the system will shut down and no further
messages will be displayed.
ERR Message
! When “ERR” appears in the display it indicates
that an operational error has occurred. Please refer to the following codes to diagnose which error you are experiencing.
ERR no01 EEPROM is not being programmed or
internal data error.
ERR no02 For testing only.
ERR no03 The frequency you want to program is
above the switching bandwidth of the transmitter. Use a receiver with an appropriate frequency group. (At this time the microphone is still operating and the frequency remains unchanged. To clear the displayed "ERR" message, switch the handheld transmitter off and on again.)
ERR no04 The frequency you want to program is
below the switching bandwidth of the transmitter. Use a receiver with an appropriate frequency group. (At this time the microphone is still operating and the frequency remains unchanged. To clear the displayed “ERR” message, switch the handheld transmitter off and on again.)
! “Group” & “Channel” : When both the group
and channel numbers are displayed, it means that you are using the pre-programmed frequency of the receiver.
! “Channel” Only : If “Channel” only is
displayed, it means that you are using a frequency which is not pre-programmed.

General Tips for Improving System Performance
1. Performer should avoid holding the microphone over or near the antenna section as this will deteriorate transmission efficiency. 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 and or change the capsule resonator's frequency. This results in an inferior performance in both frequency response and the separation of directionality. In addition, a palm's sound-focusing effect 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 significant impact on sensitivity and performance. There 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 amplifier 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 amplifier system to be overloaded.

4. Furthermore, a large-diaphragm directional microphone has a very distinct proximity effect. When the microphone is close to the mouth, the bass response is strengthened as the distance gets closer. Therefore, if a performer's sound is insufficient in bass, they can hold the microphone closer and use the proximity effect 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 effect 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 effect of the microphone.

Disposal
2005 -08- 132005 -08- 13
Dispose of any unusable devices or batteries responsibly and in accordance with any applicable regulations.
Disposing of used batteries with domestic waste is to be avoided!
Batteries / NiCad cells often contain heavy metals such as cadmium(Cd), mercury(Hg) and lead(Pb) that makes them unsuitable for disposal with domestic waste. You may return spent batteries/ accumulators free of charge to recycling centres or anywhere else batteries/accumulators are sold.
By doing so, you contribute to the conservation of our environment!
