4. SETUP AND INSTALLATION
1. Open battery compartment of the beltpack transmitter cover
and insert 2 AA batteries (included) making sure to follow the
polarity indicators. Close the battery cover.
2. Insert the included antenna into the beltpack transmitter.
3. Insert the AC plug of the power adapter into AC power
outlet. When using AC power make sure to use the indicated
voltage. If the equipment will not be used for a long period of
time, unplug the power adapter from the wall.
4. Inset the DC plug of the power adapter into the DC jack in
teh compartment on the rear of the PA Speaker.
5. When the beltpack transmitter power switch is turned on
the indicator will light once. During operation when the
indicator light dims it means that battery power is about to be
exhausted. Replace the batteries with new AA batteries when
this occurs.
6. If the beltpack or handheld trasmitters will not be used for an
extended period of time, remove the batteries.
5. BASIC OPERATION
1. Extend antenna for better reception during operation.
2. The beltpack and handheld transmitters should be kept at
least 6 feet from the PA Speaker and should not be placed
directly facing the speaker to prevent feedback.
• To reduce feedback extend the distance between transmitter
and receiver and change the direction the PA Speaker is
facing. Turn down the tone as low as possible.
• To avoid interference do not use another transmitter and
receiver with the identical frequency in the same area
simultaneously. If a second PA is needed make sure to use
one with a different frequency.
• The receiver will work only with a transmitter having the
same frequency.
• If noise still comes out from the receiver after the transmitter
is turned off this does not mean there is a malfunction but
means there is one or more interfering sources with a similar
frequency near the PA Speaker.
• Microphone amplication with the PA Speaker is possible
even if the transmitter battery runs out of power. Simply
connect a cable type microphone with a 3.5mm plug directly
into the MIC IN jack on the rear of the PA-Pro.
3. Turn the transmitter and the PA Speaker on. Adjust the
volume.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue Resolution
