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.

AS CK SET UP-
AS-CK SETUP PROCEDURE
Note: The word “Transmitter” in this procedure applies to both
the AS-HH5 Hand Held Microphone and the AS-MBP5 Body
Pack with its connected Microphone.
1. Make sure that both the Transmitter and AS1000R
Receiver power switches are in the off position before
beginning this procedure.
2. Install 2 fresh AA batteries into the AS1000R. Attach
headphones to the Green headphone jack. Move the
power switch to the ON position. The LED indicator
should illuminate Red for a few seconds and then go out.
If the LED lights up Green, first double check that the
Transmitter power switch is in the off position. If the LED
remains Green even when the Transmitter is switched
OFF, adjust the group and channel switches until the LED
goes out. This will greatly increase the likelihood that the
Any Spot system will be functioning on a frequency free
from interference.
3. Install 2 fresh AA batteries into the Transmitter. Adjust the
group and channel switches to match the group and
channel settings selected on the AS1000R. Move the
Transmitter power switch to the ON position. The Red low
battery indicator on the Transmitter should flash on and
then go out. The LED on the AS1000R should now
illuminate Green, indicating that it is receiving signal from
the Transmitter. If the LED on the AS1000R does not turn
Green, verify that the Transmitter and AS1000R have both
been adjusted to the same group and channel settings. If
the AS-1000R LED still does not turn Green, please try
selecting a new group and channel on both the
Transmitter and AS1000R to avoid any possible
interference from outside RF sources. Repeat this until
the AS1000R LED turns Green.
4. If using the AS-MBP5 Transmitter, verify that the switch on
the back of the body pack is set to "Mic". Increase the
headphone volume control on the AS1000R slowly while
speaking into the Microphone and listening to the
Page 11

AS-CK
Handheld Mic (AS-HH5)/Bodypack Transmitter (AS-MBP5)
Headphones. If you are not hearing any audio or just a
low level signal, try increasing the Gain control (turn
clockwise) on the AS-MBP5 until a proper level is
reached. If the audio sounds distorted, try decreasing the
Gain control (turn counter-clockwise) on the AS-MBP5.
5. Once a frequency has been selected, additional
Receivers may be set to the same frequency and audio
quality verified.
6. A general rule for any wireless system: Any number of
Receivers may be set to the same frequency and used in
the same area. However, only one transmitter may be
used on a selected frequency in any given area.
