READ these instructions. KEEP these instructions. HEED all warnings. FOLLOW all instructions. DO NOT use this apparatus near water. CLEAN ONLY with 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 polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider 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.

ARNING!
USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE.
USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.
In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels. Please use the following guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
90 dB SPL at 8 hours 95 dB SPL at 4 hours
100 dB SPL at 2 hours
105 dB SPL at 1 hour
110 dB SPL at ½ hour
115 dB SPL at 15 minutes
120 dB SPL — avoid or damage may occur
It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum in live applications. In addition to the volume setting on the AS1000, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor wedges or other devices. The isolation provided by the fit of quality earpieces is also an important factor in determining the SPL.
Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage.
• Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
• Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.
• Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop using the system until an audiologist has examined your ears.
• Wipe the ear molds with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.
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.
DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping and splashing. DO NOT put objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
USE only with a 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.
Remove the batteries from the receiver if the system will not be used for a long period of time. This will avoid any damage resulting from a defective, leaking battery. DO NOT throw used batteries into a fire. Be sure to dispose of or recycle used batteries in accordance with local waste disposal laws.

GALAXY AUDIO ANY SPOT AS-1000 IN EAR MONITOR SYSTEM
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Galaxy Audio Any Spot! The AS­1000 is a wireless in-ear monitor system, which consists of the AS-1000T transmitter and the AS-1000R receiver. This in-ear monitor system operates in the UHF Frequency band and utilizes a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesizer control for improved reception and channel selection. The system provides 64 selectable frequencies, via the rotary switches, making it easy to avoid frequency interference.
Common uses for the Any Spot system would include:
Providing a wireless monitor mix to stage performers.Providing an assisted listening system for hearing impaired
audience members.
Transmitting a wireless audio signal to recording equipment such
as a video camera. Please take a few minutes to read this instruction manual
carefully before operating the system.

AS1000T
AS-1000T Transmitter Features
The AS-1000T is a low power FM broadcasting transmitter.
It can simultaneously transmit stereo music (from sources such as CD players, MP3 players, etc.) and vocal audio (from wired or wireless microphone systems). It can also be interfaced with a mixing console to transmit an entire monitor mix to the performer.
Up to 64 selectable frequencies are available to set up a
multi-frequency broadcasting system while avoiding interference. The two rotary switches allow the user to easily select the group number (1-8), and channel number (1-8). These two selections make up the frequency program number, which is then brightly displayed on the front panel.
The ¼”/XLR combo MIC jack accepts a balanced or
unbalanced, line or microphone signal.
The RCA LINE IN jacks accept stereo or mono audio
signals from CD players, MP3 players, etc. (Switchable Stereo/Mono modes.)
Independent input volume controls allow the user greater
control when mixing two audio sources together.
The Peak LED indicator shows when the inputs are being
over-driven to help avoid distortion.
The Headphone jack, with independent volume control,
allows a user to monitor the audio signal from the transmitter location.
The AS-1000T utilizes a high efficiency antenna with a
typical coverage radius of approximately 300 feet. The coverage area is maximized when the antenna is placed at higher locations.
