Introduction 5
Getting Started
Before you can use your pendant microphone, you need to do the following:
■ Install the IR receiver module
■ Install and connect the IR dome sensor
■ Attach the neck strap
■ Insert the batteries
■ Adjust the sound
Install the IR Receiver Module
Follow the steps below to install the IR receiver module. Make sure you have read all of the
safety instructions before beginning the installation.
Note: The Connection & Control Box must be mounted to the wall prior to installation.
See your Connection & Control Box guide for more information.
1. Turn off the power to the Connection & Control Box, then disconnect the plug from
the outlet.
2. Remove the two screws from the cover on the side of the Connection & Control Box,
then remove the cover.
3. Insert the IR receiver module into the slot, then reattach the two screws.
4. Connect the plug to the outlet, then turn on the power to the Connection & Control
Box.
5. Verify that the light on the receiver module is lit (red).
Note: If the light on the IR receiver module is not lit, the IR receiver module is not
properly seated.
6 Getting Started
Install the IR Dome Sensor
The IR dome sensor is the next thing you’ll need to install. To ensure proper audio
reception, the IR dome sensor should be positioned to have direct line of sight to most
areas of the room. The IR dome sensor should also be mounted in a location free of
obstructions and away from strong light sources. When choosing a location for the IR
dome sensor, keep the following in mind:
■ Do not install the IR dome sensor or coaxial cable near power cables. This can cause
unwanted audio noise or reduce the sensitivity and range of the IR dome sensor.
■ Do not bind the coaxial cable to any other cables.
■ Do not install the IR sensor near strong light sources, such as incandescent bulbs,
halogen lamps, fluorescent lights, or a window.
■ The IR dome sensor must be mounted at least 3.28 feet (1 meter) away from
fluorescent lights.
■ Do not install the IR dome sensor in a dusty environment. This can reduce the
sensitivity and range of the IR dome sensor.
■ Do not paint the cover of the IR dome sensor.
■ The use of IR remote controls of any kind can interrupt the sound or cause noise.
■ The IR dome sensor receives reflected signals from the walls, floor, and ceiling. The
reception may be reduced if the wall, floor, or ceiling colors are dark.
■ The sound may break up if the IR dome sensor is installed near a window or in a
room with a lot of windows. Apply light-colored curtains or blinds to improve the
sound quality.
■ Install the IR dome sensor on a ceiling that is less than 9.8 feet (3 meters) high. If the
ceiling is too high, the IR dome sensor may not be able to receive the microphone’s
signal from directly under the IR dome.
Note: Epson strongly recommends that the IR dome sensor be installed by a
professional audio/video installer or other qualified professional. Epson cannot provide
advice concerning construction practices or building codes in your area.
Locate the following parts:
■ IR dome sensor
■ Coaxial cable
Warni ng: Make sure that the ceiling is strong enough to support the IR dome sensor
and coaxial cable. Epson accepts no responsibility for the IR dome sensor falling due to
insufficient ceiling strength or inadequate installation.
Getting Started 7
1. Bend both ends of the mounting bracket as shown below.
2. Securely attach the IR dome sensor to the ceiling. Installation varies depending on
