Warranty Registration

The warranty for the M319 specically
covers use in schools, churches, and business
& industry applications, unlike consumer
electronic products. This is critical to help avoid
lost class time due to “down” equipment and
helps stretch budgets.

Califone warrants the M319 to be free from
defective material and workmanship for one
year from the purchase date. Our “Project
Intercept” Customer Satisfaction program will
replace defective parts and repair malfunctioning
products under this warranty when the defect
occurs under normal use, provided the unit is
returned to our factory via prepaid transportation

only after the factory issues an RA
(Return Authorization) number which
must be clearly written on the outside
of the shipping box.

All Damage Claims Must Be Made
With The Freight Carrier

Notify the freight carrier immediately if you
observe any damage the shipping carton or
product. Repack the unit in the carton and
await inspection by the carrier’s claim agent.
Notify your dealer of the pending freight claim.

Should your unit require service, contact your
dealer or our Customer Service Department
directly via email ([e-mail]), or
by phone at 800-722-0500 / 818-407-2400 to
rst obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number
before sending it back to Califone.

qualifed service personnel when:

• Objects have fallen on it or liquid
has been spilled onto it

Operating Instructions:

The microphone frequency must rst be set to

the same frequency as the receiving PA.

1. Open th battery cover and insert a 9V battery
(not included) into battery compartment.
Close the battery cover.

2. Adjust the volume knob to minimum.

3. Connect one of the Califone microphones
(shown on pages 3 & 4) to the 3.5mm
mic input jack. The M319 can accept
dynamic or electret microphones.

4. Turn on the M319 power switch. The LCD
will display the current transmit channel.

5. To change the transmit channel:

• Use a pen to hold the channel down 
button for about 3 seconds.

• The transmit channel will begin to ash
on the LCD.

• Release the down button. 

• Then use the up/down buttons to change
to the desired transmit channel.

• After about 3 seconds the transmit
channel will be set and the channel on
the LCD display will be solid.

• Make sure the transmit channel is not being
used by any other transmitters in the area or
there could be audible interference. If there
is any interference or distortion, try using a
dierent channel.*

6. Set the Califone receiver to the same

channel as the transmitter.

7. Turn on the receiver and rst adjust its

volume level.

8. Then turn the M319 on and adjust its volume
level to the desired level.

LM-316

CM-316

* Since the PA919SD and PA919 each have
two built-in wireless receivers, make sure the
corresponding M319 (or Q319) transmitters are
set to dierent frequencies (one for

each channel).

Power Adjustment (Optional):

1. The power output of the M319 can be
adjusted between low (5mW) and high
(10mW) power settings, depending on the
level of interference or the range of required
transmission (low power up to 40’/high
power up to 200’). When there may be
other PA products used in neighboring or
adjoining rooms, using the low setting will
reduce the occurrence of experiencing

any interference.

2. With the power o, simply change the
transmit power by moving the switch to
the desired setting.
