Disposal
2005-0 8-1 3
Dispose of any unusable devices or batteries responsibly and in accordance with
any applicable regulations.
Disposing of used batteries with domestic waste is to be avoided!
Batteries / NiCad cells often contain heavy metals such as cadmium(Cd),
mercury(Hg) and lead(Pb) that makes them unsuitable for disposal with
domestic waste. You may return spent batteries/ accumulators free of charge to
recycling centres or anywhere else batteries/accumulators are sold.
By doing so, you contribute to the conservation of our environment!

Product Overview
ACT-82a is MIPRO introduced industry-leading professional digital wireless microphone system. Each
design feature and function is contemporary top technology, and much appreciated by professional
audio experts in recognition of its excellent performance, especially through the latest MU-89 true
condenser microphone capsule makes the sound quality even perfect. Therefore, it is the first choice for
professional wireless microphone systems.
Digital wireless microphone system introduces wireless microphones into a new era of digital sound
quality, and will cause a revolution in audio that the wireless sound quality can almost compare with the
cable transmission, thus digitalizing must be the future trend.
In response to the change of EU and US telecom regulations, we immediately launch the new wideband
ACT-82a digital wireless system, extending the bandwidth from 24MHz to 120MHz, which can completely
accommodate to the new telecom bandwidth of the United States with only one receiver, and two bands
can be used in Europe. The transmitter's bandwidth is also extended from 24MHz to 120MHz to match
the receiver's, and that is very convenient for the multi-channel usage.

MIPRO'S Proprietary "ACT" Function and Operation
What is ACT?
“ACT” stands for “Automatic Channel Targeting”. MIPRO developed and patented this innovative InfraRed
(IR) technology in 2001. MIPRO was the first manufacturer in the industry to automatically synchronise
the frequency selected on the receiver to any ACT handheld or bodypack transmitter in the same
frequency band.
ACT Benefits:
!
No manual frequency adjusting needed, unlike traditional transmitters.
!
Simple, fast and precise frequency setup without mechanical errors.
!
Once the frequency has been set, the data is written to memory in the transmitter.
This ensures that the transmitter frequency now stays with that transmitter. That is, of course, until
a change is required. By performing the “ACT” function again, the frequency can be re-programmed
to another Group/Channel as necessary.
ACT Set-Up
!
Ensure a receiver channel is set up, the transmitter battery is charged, and the transmitter is
powered ON.
!
Press and release the ACT button on the receiver to activate the ACT sync function. Once activated,
the words “ACT” and “Sync” will illuminate.
!
Move the ACT handheld or bodypack transmitter IR window to within 30cm (12”) of the IR port on
the receiver. The IR port on the receiver is located behind the “ACT” button itself and is indicated by
a round, dark red dot. The frequency will sync automatically.
!
When the frequencies have successfully synchronised between the receiver and transmitter the
illuminated “ACT” and “Sync” will disappear. The RF meter will now illuminate and show full RF
strength.
