9 V

FIGURE 4. BATTERY INSTALLATION

3. Insert a fresh 9V alkaline battery into the battery compartment ( A D u ra ce ll M N1604 i s recommended). A fresh 9V alkaline battery will typically provide 18 hours of performance time. A fully charged 8.4V NiCad battery will provide about 2 hours of performance time.

IMPORT ANT: Carbon-zinc and zinc-chloride batteries will not provide adequate power and are not recommended.

4. Replace the battery cover.

HEADSET ASSEMBLY

1. Refer to the tag attached to the headset for assembly instructions. After assembling the WH20, adjust the headband and place it on your head.

2. Position the microphone over the corner of your mouth, about 1/2 inch away. See Figure 5.

3. To reduce pops and breath noise, place the supplied foam windscreen over the microphone.

FIGURE 5. HEADSET MICROPHONE POSITION

BODYPACK TRANSMITTER SETUP

1. Attach the transmitter to your belt, guitar strap, or waistband as shown in Figure 6. Depress the tab marked PRESS and slip the belt or strap between the transmitter body and the belt clip. For added stability, draw the strap or belt toward the clip’s top wire, especially when using thin guitar straps.

FIGURE 6. TRANSMITTER SETUP

2. Plug your guitar, headset microphone, or lavalier microphone into the transmitter.

RECEIVER SETUP

1. Plug one end of the AC power adapter int o t he DC INPUT c onnector on the back of the receiver.

2. Loop the power cable around the cable retainer on the bottom of the receiver. See Figure 7.

3. Plug the other end of the AC power a dapter into an AC power source. The green POWER light on the receiver will glow.

FIGURE 7. POWER CABLE RETAINER

4. Connect the receiver output as follows:

• AXUGD: Plug a standard guitar cable (two provided) into

the receiver’s output connector. Plug the other end into a guitar amplifier, as shown in Figure 8.

• AXUHD, AXU58D or AXULD: Use a cable with a 1/4 inch

phone plug or a female XLR connector to connect the receiver to a mic level input of a mixer or PA system, as shown in Figure 8.

5. Extend antennas fully and point them away from each other at a 45° angle, as shown in Figure 8.
