OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPUS 900
Thank you for selecting the Opus 900 wireless system. Please take some time to read
carefully through this manual before setting up the equipment.
Important:
• When you unpack the product, inspect it for transport damage. If you do find transport
damage, notify the transportation company without delay. Delay in reporting transport
damage could result in the loss of your rights to compensation.
Receiver
• READ these instructions.
• KEEP these instructions.
• HEED all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with a dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or grounding-type plug. A polarised
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
• Only use attachements/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus
has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
• The equipment must be set up so that the mains switch, mains plug and all connection on
the rear of the device are easily accessible.
• The equipment must be connected to a mains socket that has an earth contact.
• Never expose the equipment to rain or a high level of humidity. For this reason do not
install it in the immediate vicinity of swimming pools, showers, damp basement rooms or
other areas with unusually high atmospheric humidity.
• Do not use the device/s outside. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this/these device/s to rain or
moisture.
• Never place objects containing liquid (e.g. vases or drinking glasses) on the equipment.
Liquids in the equipment could cause a short circuit.

Transmitter
• Protect the transmitter from moisture and sudden impacts. You could either injure yourself
or others or damage the transmitter.
• Do not blow into the microphone. In a condenser microphone this could damage the
transformer. It is preferable to carry out a speech trial.
• Clip-on microphones are often very compact. If they are accidentally swallowed there is a
risk of choking. Always keep this type of microphone away from small children.
• Always switch off the transmitter before charging or changing the battery.
• If the transmitter is fitted with a normal battery, never charge it in the charging unit. The
transmitter or the batteries could be destroyed. There is a risk of explosion.
• The normal commercial 9 V alkaline batteries can have a length tolerance of 2 - 3 mm.
When changing the battery always ensure good contact.
• From time to time the battery contacts should the moistened with spirits or alcohol and
cleaned with a soft cloth.
• If the transmitter is not being used for weeks or months, please remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak when not being used for a long time and corrode the conductor strips
and components. Repair is not then possible. In this case all warranty claims are null and
void. The description “leak proof” on batteries is no guarantee that they will not run out.
• Never take batteries apart yourself. The battery acid contained will damage skin and
clothing.
• Do not throw used batteries into the domestic rubbish, but hand them in to local collection
points.
• Lay all connection cables so that they do not present a trip hazard.
• Check whether the connection figures comply with the existing mains supply. Serious
damage could occur due to connecting the system to the wrong power supply. An
incorrect mains voltage could damage the equipment or cause an electric shock.
• This equipment needs adequate ventilation. Do not cover ventilation grilles. If the heat it
generates cannot be dissipated, the equipment could be damaged or flammable materials
in its immediate vicinity could be ignited. Take care to ensure that the air can circulate
freely through the ventilation grilles and keep flammable materials away.
• Never place naked flames near the equipment.
• If the equipment causes a blown fuse or a short circuit, disconnect it from the mains and
have it checked and repaired.
• Do not open the equipment without authorisation. You could receive an electric shock.
Leave all service work to authorised expert personnel.
• Do not hold the mains cable with wet hands. There must be no water or dust on the
contact pins. In both cases you could receive an electric shock.
• The mains cable must be firmly connected. If it is loose there is a fire hazard.
• Always pull out the mains cable from the mains and/or from the equipment by the plug never by the cable. The cable could be damaged and cause an electric shock or fire.
• If the power cable is connected, avoid contact of the unit with other metallic objects.
• Do not insert objects into the ventilation grilles or other openings. You could damage the
equipment and/or injure yourself.
• Do not use the equipment if the mains plug is damaged.
• When installing the device into a 19" rack, make sure that the mains switch, mains plug
and all connection on the rear of the device are easily accessible.
• When connecting a headphone, please make sure that the volume is turned down to
minimum. Adjust the volume after putting on the headphone. Do not set the volume too
high, as you could permanently damage your hearing.

• As soon as the transmitter displays the same frequency as the receiver the transmission is
finished. The receiver displays the state before starting the frequency transmission
Important:
In order to avoid interferences, the frequency of one receiver should be transmitted to one
transmitter only.
