of the shelf or board above the system shall be set 1" (2.5cm) away from the rear panel or wall,
creating a fl ue-like gap for warm air to escape.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fi re or electric shock, do not expose this system to rain or moisture.

Electrical Warnings

A. Avoid Abuse to the Power Supply

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the power supply from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.

DO NOT disassemble the power supply.
Contact a qualifi ed service professional if service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of electric shock or fi re.

DO NOT expose the power supply to rain, snow, water, gas, oil, etc.
DO NOT operate the power supply if it has been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
DO NOT block or cover the apparatus and impeded ventilation.

B. Proper Use of The Power Supply and Wiring

It is recommended to always use the provided power supply. An extension cord should not be
used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fi re
and/or electric shock. If extension cord must be used, use ONLY a grounded, 3-wire type cord.
NEVER use a 2-wire cord and an adaptor! The cord MUST be plugged into a grounded outlet.
Make sure the grounded outlet is properly wired, in good electrical condition, and wire size is
large enough for AC ampere rating of the power supply as specifi ed below. AWG = American
Wire Gauge.

To reduce risk of damage to plug and cord when disconnecting the power supply, ALWAYS pull
on plug - NEVER on cord. Locate cord so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or other­wise subject to damage or stress.

DO NOT lay extension cord on battery or the power supply.
DO NOT operate the power supply with damaged cord or plug - replace them immediately.

Follow Manufacturers' Recommendations

Before using the system , read all instructions and caution markings on the system and read the user
guide.

Introduction

You have purchased the most multifunctional, easy to use Wireless Audio system. This system
provides audio mixing allowing for enhanced voice over AV when paired with a wireless microphone
(not included). Enhanced voice allows the speaker to be heard over the AV content all the way in the
back of the room, reducing voice strain and engaging the audience.

NOTE: It is recommended that this system be installed and set up by a professional installer that can
ensure that:

1. The correct projector arm length based on the projector requirements is selected
(WL-AU-PST600A(-W), 1200A(-W), 1600A(-W) models only)

2. That proper 120 VAC power is supplied to the system

3. That the audio functions are set up per system specifi cations

NOTE: Improper installation can result in either a poor or non-operating system.

Basic Guidelines

This manual is intended to cover operation of the amplifi er for audio reproduction. A wireless
microphone (not included) is supported by this system. It is the choice of the customer or the
professional installer to utilize the systems full audio capabilities. This manual will provide general
information on microphones, but specifi c details many vary based on microphone model selected and
must be found in the selected microphone's manual.

Batteries

The only batteries utilized are in the remote control for the amplifi er. The amplifi er remote will be used
frequently, thus needing more frequent replacement.

The main sign of needing replacement is reduced distance of operation.
The battery models are as follows:

Amplifi er Remote: CR2025
NOTE: Batteries are NOT rechargeable

Amplifi er

1. POWER ON/OFF
ON -To initially turn the amplifi er on, depress the power button on the face. The LED will turn to

green. The amplifi er will respond to remote control commands.
Remote Control OFF/ON –Turn the power off by using the remote control. This is a sleep

mode. The main power button is still pressed in. Continued on/off cycles to be handled using
the remote control only. If the power is again turn off using the face button in sleep mode, the
amplifi er would turn back on in sleep mode.

OFF – Turning the amplifi er off pressing the button on the face, the amplifi er is completely off.
It will not respond to the remote control. It will also go back on in the mode it was previously in
(either sleep or on).

2. LED POWER INDICATOR
OFF – When the amplifi er is off, it will not respond to the remote control commands.

Red - Sleep mode. The amplifi er was turned off by the remote only, and will only turn on by the

remote control. The main power button is still pressed in.
Green – The amplifi er is on and will provide sound with signal from either Aux or Mic, and

responds to the remote control.

3. VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

The volume adjustment controls both the Aux input and Mic input the same. The signal from both
inputs ramps up or down the same amount. The volume adjustment is done by using the up or
down buttons on the amplifi er face, or using the up or down buttons on the remote control. The
LED will fl ash green during the button presses.

AMPLIFIER

SIGNAL MIXING

Your system is set up to allow a microphone (not included) to be heard slightly over the AV content

Audio

Sound does not come out of the speakers:

• Ensure the volume on the source (Computer/PC, Blu-Ray™ Disc Player, Gaming Console,
etc.) is turned up at least half way or more.

• Ensure the amplifi er indicator light is green, indicating it’s ON. If it is red, use the Audio
Remote to turn it ON. If the light is not on, check the amplifi er face power button is pressed in,
or press it in. If it still does not turn on, request help to remove the front cover, and ensure the
system has power.

• Check amplifi er volume level. Use the Amplifi er Remote to turn up the volume. The amplifi er
green indictor light will blink while the volume button is pressed. Full volume occurs when the
green light stops blinking, while pressing the UP button.

The microphone cannot be heard from the speakers:

• Ensure the microphone batteries are fresh.

• Ensure the microphone is turned on.

• Ensure variable gain adjustments are not turned down.

• Ensure the installer adjusted the microphone gain control on the amplifi er, accessed by
removing the system front cover.

• Ensure the microphone is still linked to it’s receiver, accessed by removing the system front
cover.

NOTE: Some items above may require checking your microphone user manual.
