Power. Only use the power source indicated on the device. Devices equipped with a
grounded plug should only be used with a grounded type outlet. In no way should this
grounding be disconnected, modified or suppressed.
Power Supply Lead. To unplug the device always pull by the plug itself, not the power
supply lead. The power source outlet should always be near the MicroCue main unit and
easily accessible. Ensure the power supply lead cannot be walked on or damaged by items
placed on or against it. Do not use if the power supply lead is damaged. Using the device
with a damaged power supply lead may expose you to electric shock or other hazards.
Check the condition of the power supply lead regularly. Contact your dealer or service centre
immediately for a replacement if damaged.
To prevent the risk of electric shock and fire, do not expose this device to rain, humidity or
intense heat sources (such as radiators or direct sunlight). Avoid using this equipment in
environments where there is excessive heat, dust, moisture, chemicals, vibration or
mechanical shocks.
Slots and Openings. These are designed into the device for ventilation and to avoid
overheating. Always ensure these openings remain clear. Do not attempt to insert
anything into these openings under any circumstances. If liquids have been spilled on,
or objects have fallen into the product it must be checked by a qualified technician before reusing.
Connections. All inputs and outputs (except for power input) are TBTS defined under
EN60950.

system. The original classic handset and one with a laser
Laser Handset
A slimmer, slightly longer handset that sits comfortably in your hand.
A finger notch on the rear of the handset anchors it to your hand.
Extensive redesign of the internal antenna means we have squeezed
a little bit more distance out of this handset. Over 100m open field.
We use 2 batteries:- one for the transmitter, (AA
or MN1500 size, 1.5V) and a separate battery just
for the Laser (CR2, 3V). This is a high power/high
capacity battery that is common in photographic
systems and readily available.
Safe Laser Use
The Laser is Class 2, less than 1mW green 532nm laser. It is 10x
brighter than an equivalent red laser.
It is important to use the laser in a safe manner by highlighting your
images on screens. It is not advisable to use a laser on a monitor that has a glass
front, or something similar, as the reflection of the beam could reflect into
someone's eyes and may cause discomfort or worse. Use the beam in either a
circular or backwards and forwards motion to circle an outline, highlight an item
being discussed or, underline something.
CAUTION – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure
DO NOT SHINE INTO THE SKY AT AIRCRAFT —
You will be arrested, fined and imprisoned in many countries!

Handsets (Cont’d)
Power Consumption & LED Status
We have made the handset intelligent in respect of its battery condition. The state
of the battery can be monitored on the handset. The dual LED indicators above
the push buttons will light-up in the following formats:-
Flash green when the ‘Next’ button is pressed
Flash Red when the ‘Back’ button is pressed
Flash Amber when the ‘Black’ button is pressed
Flash Amber twice when both the ’Back’ and ’Next’ buttons are pressed at
the same time indicating ‘low’ battery condition.
NOTE - Should the battery be unable to drive the RF circuitry accurately, the dual
LEDs will flash Red quickly without transmitting. If this happens, you will need to
replace the battery to obtain the correct operation.
The original Classic handset has proved to be a very popular and trusted handset
with a great open field distance of over 75m.
Power Consumption & LED Status
If no cue signals are received from the handset and the cue LED on the handset
does not illuminate when any cue button is pressed, the battery will need to be
replaced. An MN1604 or PP3, 9V is used.
Handset Configuration
Both the Laser and original Classic handsets are
available in different button configurations:-
3-button which includes ‘Next’, ‘Back’ and ‘Black’
as shown above and opposite. (3 button excluding
the Laser button on the Laser handset);
2-button which excludes the ‘Black’ button and
1-button (Classic handset model) for ‘Next’ only.
This single button has been useful for nervous or
presenters unfamiliar with the technology.
Both handsets are designed to be comfortable in
the hand whilst being functional and they require
no training.
CAUTION !
Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of batteries according to manufacturers’ instructions
