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 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.
