Operating procedures

After unpacking the unit for the rst time, please charge the unit for about 4-5 hours before
any operation. This is absolutely necessary as the built-in rechargeable battery might have
been discharged naturally due to long shipment and storage time, even though it has been
fully charged in the factory prior to shipment.

To operate this portable sound unit, switch on the main POWER switch, the GREEN LED
above it will glow. However, if the RED LED also glows at the same time, it means the
battery is getting weak and a recharge of the battery is necessary. To know the battery
status, its remaining level can be detected by pressing the battery status button and the
LEDs can tell whether the batteries need to be charged. The red LED lighting implies the
power is too low, the green one implies enough power and the yellow one means the power
level is in between.

The main POWER switch does NOT switch on the Wireless receiver module and Tape/CD
Player/Digital Recorder as each of them has dedicated Power / Volume control switch on
its panel. To operate each of them, you must switch them on accordingly.

Operating the dynamic wired microphone.

To use a cable microphone, simply plug it into any MIC IN socket. The mic sockett accepts
both phone and Cannon jack. Rotate the dedicated volume control knob and master
volume control, amplied sound could be heard from the speaker when voice is spoken
into the cable microphone.

When a full range high delity sound is emphasized, the mode selector should be put to
MUSIC. For vocal frequencies where better clarity and projection is emphasized, put the
mode selector to SPEECH and this will produce more mid-range frequency.

Operating the Wireless Microphone System.

To operate the wireless system, just switch on the power/volume control on the module
panel and the matching transmitter. Please have the channel setting on both the transmitter
and receiver module be the same before operation. Please as well make sure that master
volume control is set to minimum level before turning the unit on, especially working on
a wireless version! Set the Master volume control to the mid position. Rotate the volume
control knob on receiver panel clockwise to the desired levels. When voice is spoken into
the microphone, amplied sound should be heard over the built-in speaker.

First turn on the Power of the main unit. Then turn on the individual power of the RM190U
receiver module. Select a desired channel by pressing the ▲ or ▼ button and the
corresponding channel on the Transmitter.

When transmitter is turned on, either A or B diversity indicator will ash to indicate that
signal has been received. Turning the volume control in clockwise direction can increase
the audio output. Once the power volume on the transmitter is too low, the LED indicator on
this panel grow will grow to remind.

Frequency scanning

It is the automatic scan function key. To perform the scan function, the transmitter must be
switched off. Once the key is being pressed, the unit will do an auto scan and the next
clean channel will be displayed. Change the transmitter channel setting to this setting for
an interference- free operation.

Squelch(SQ) setting

When a channel is in use and undesired interference signal is received, turn the SQ
in clockwise direction to make the receiver less sensitive and thus less susceptible to
interference. If this still does not solve the problem, it means this frequency is not applicable
at current position. Please switch over to the next channel.

5. Audio sensitivity: Clockwise to increase its sensitivity level and anticlockwise to reduce.

6. Output power switch. L for LOW output power and H for high output power. LOW output
power will reduce the RF transmission distance and HIGH output power will extend the
possible RF transmission distance.
However, if TM190 is installed in portable ampliers, HIGH output power will reduce
more operation time than LOW output power since it requires more power for longer RF
transmission.

Operating the Digital In

WPSS150M can be the speaker of an external auidio source by connecting them using a
USB cable (male-to-male type). The MP3 les can be played through WPSS150M when
operating the tracks on the PC.

Voice Priority operation

Voice Priority operation is only necessary when CD/DVD/MP3 is playing.
When the Voice Priority switch is ON, the ducking function will be activated. While the
music is playing, a voice input from either a Wired or Wireless Microphone will temporary
override and turn down the volume of the background music and voice could be heard
clearly.

Background music will return to its original setting when no audio input is entering the
microphone for a certain time. However, if the microphone is not switch off, the reentering
of music into the microphone will also activate the voice priority function. So, Voice
priority is best operated using microphones with on / off switch.
However, in an aerobic operation, Voice Priority should NOT be activated !
