Personal Wireless PA System

Many thanks for your purchasing the MIPRO's wireless
multi-purpose PA system. Before using, carefully read this
manual in order to understand the correct operating methods
and achieve the best result.

. PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS

(Fig.1)

(1) Fixed Handle: For convenient carrying by hand.

(2) Speaker: Sound projects in the direction it is pointed.

(3) Mic In Jack: Accepts a 6.3mm plug wired microphone.
(4) Power Switch/Volume Control: Turn clockwise past the

click for power on and volume control for the wireless
microphone.

- 1 -

(5) Power Indicator: Red light illuminates when power is

turned on to denote normal power status. Green light
indicates a RF link (it is receiving signal).

(6) Microphone Volume Control: Volume control for the

wired microphone.

(7) Charging Indicator:

Red light indicates the battery is weak and needs
charging. Charging takes minimum 4 hours.

Green blinking light indicates charging is in progress.
Solid green light indicates the battery is fully charged.
This system is equipped with auto cut-off charger.

When battery is weak (red light), power will cut-off
automatically to avoid any damages that could cause by
power over-drain.

(8) Line Out: Allows you to send audio signal (AF) to an

external amplifier.

(9) Auxiliary Input Jack: Uses 3.5mm "minijack" plug.

Accepts external audio inputs, such as portable cassette
and CD players.

(10) DC Power Input Jack: Plug into DC charger (supplied) for

battery charging. The inner conductor is positive and
should be connected to 18VDC 10%, +2.5A.

(11) Body: Houses all electronic components.
(12) Shoulder Carry Belt: May be stored inside the Battery

Compartment.

(13) Battery Compartment: The rechargeable battery is located

behind the battery compartment door.

(14) Microphone Stand Mount: For convenient mounting on a

standard 35mm threaded microphone stand.

II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

(1) Personal Wireless PA System

a) Power on Power Switch / Volume Control (4). Red light (5) should

illuminate.
b) Power on wireless transmitter. Greed light (5) should illuminate.
c) Adjust volume level (4) clockwise to desired loudness.
d) One wireless microphone can simultaneously transmit to multiple MA-

101s receiving on the same frequency. However, multiple wireless

microphones of the same frequency cannot transmit to an MA-101

Receiver on that same frequency. For example, if you have both a

hand-held wireless microphone and a body pack transmitter on the same

frequency, be sure to switch off the unused transmitter to avoid severe

interference between the two!

(2) Battery Charging Procedures:

a) Please make sure the inbuilt rechargeable batteries are fully charged

before and after use. Battery itself has such a special characteristic of

self-discharging gradually over a long period of time. Therefore, if the

system will not be used for a long period of time, please make sure the

batteries are fully charged before storing them properly. Company

Warranty DOES NOT apply to over-discharged batteries, hence, please

ensure the batteries are recharged every 3 months.

b) Simply plug the connector of the supplied DC adapter to the DC 18V

Power Input Jack (10) and plug the other end into an available AC

socket.
c) Charging begins immediately, and will be indicated by a flashing green

LED. If the green LED is not flashing, it may due to excessive power

over-drain and it takes longer for the greed LED to flash. This is

normal and not faulty. If after a while and still no flashing green LED,

the battery may be faulty.
d) If a battery replacement is needed, open the battery compartment and

exchange with a new battery. Insert the battery with the right polarity.

e) Battery is an expendable item. Under normal operation, MIPRO offers

one year limited warranty.
f) When experiencing short operating time after batteries are fully charged,

it is often a sign with aging batteries. Both rechargeable batteries must

be replaced at your earliest convenience.

(3) Auxiliary In

a) Connect a line-level source, such as portable cassette or CD player into

the Aux input jack(9).
b) Power on PA system (4) and adjust for volume loudness.

- 3 -

(4) INSTALLATION

a) Hand Carrying: Remove the shoulder belt (12) and store in the

Battery Compartment (13) directly above the battery. Use the
Fixed Handle for transport.

b) Shoulder Carrying: Remove shoulder belt (12) from the Battery

Compartment (13) and hook the connector around the rod on top of
the unit, between the Fixed Handle and the Speaker.

c) Mic Stand Mounting: The MA-101 will fit directly on top of a mic

stand using the threaded mount(14) with no additional hardware.
Simply align the hold with the protruding end of the mic stand and
thread it on the stand.

(5) WIRED MICROPHONE INSTRUCTION METHODS

a) Power on Power Switch / Volume Control (4). Red light (5) should

illuminate.

b) Plug a wired microphone into the Mic In Jack (3). Power on Wired

Microphone Volume Control (6).

c) Turn clockwise for desired loudness (6).
d) Allow simultaneous usage of both wired and wireless

microphones.

(6) AF Output

Allows one connecting to an external amplifier with high power
output. Connect to the Mic Input or Line Input on the amplifier. Use Power
Switch / Volume Control (4) for desired loudness.

III. REPLACING THE MA-101 BATTERY

With proper care and charging, it is unlikely that it will be necessary to
replace the MA-101 battery. However, there is an access panel provided for
this purpose. If extended periods of use are required without time to
recharge the battery, you may wish to have a second battery fully charged
and ready to install and use once the existing on is drained. The battery is a
standard 12V/2.7A gel cell and is available from MIPRO.

1. Lay the PA system on a flat surface.

2. Press down on the two fasteners at the top of battery compartment. The

compartment door will now swing down on its hinge.

3. Remove the interior rear panel of the battery compartment by sliding it up.

Use caution, as the battery may "spring" forward when you release this
panel. Carefully remove the battery.

4. Insert a fully charged battery, observed the correct polarity. The two

terminals on the battery should be near the top of the battery with the
printed side up. This alignment corresponds with the springs and
terminals inside the unit.

5. Press the battery into the unit, holding it firmly against the springs, while

sliding the rear panel back into space. This may require two hands.

6. Close the battery compartment door. Lift up on the two fasteners until

they "click" into place.

1. Grille & Screen Assembly: Protects the mic capsule from structural

damage as well as "POP" noise.

2. Capsule Module: It is mainly for protecting the capsule and eliminating

the "POP" sound. This is the main component to transform sound into AF.

3. Anti-Roll Color Ring: Molded polygon shape prevents rolling on flat

surfaces. A variety of colors are available to make Transmitter
identification easy, even at a distance.

4. Microphone Cartridge: Transforms the acoustic signal into an electric

signal.

5. Housing: Durable rubber velvet finish for handling comfort. Upper

portion to be connected to capsule module. Internally, it holds transmitter
PCB and battery compartment.

6. Battery Status Indicator: A brief flash at turn-on indicates that the battery

is OK. No flash at turn-on indicates that the battery is either drained or
not installed correctly. After power-on, a constant glow indicates a weak
battery that should be replaced.

7. Power On-off Switch: Slide up to turn the Transmitter on and slide down

to turn the Transmitter off.

8. Battery Compartment: Accepts a standard/universal 9-volt any type of

battery.

9. Battery Cap: Unscrew battery cap in a counter clockwise direction to

provide access to the Battery Compartment.

1. Carefully unscrew, in a counter-clockwise motion, the Battery Cap

(9) from the Housing to export the Battery Compartment.

2. Insert a 9-volt battery, taking care to observe the correct polarity.

3. Screw the Battery Cap back into place turning clockwise, taking

care not to force the turns or cross-tread.

4. If polarity is inserted correctly, the battery status indicator lamp(6)

will flash briefly when the mic is turned on. If no flash is observed,
then it is likely the polarity is incorrect or the battery is dead.

OPERATION

1.Battery Status Indicator: will flash briefly when the microphone is

turned on to denote normal status.

2.The Power Indicator on the PA system will turn from red to green

after the microphone is turned on to denote normal status.

3. Power off the microphone when not in used to extend the life span

of the battery. Take out the 9-volt battery when certain it will not
be use for an extended period of time to avoid leaking of conducive
battery liquid and damage the battery spring and its internal PCB.
