CAUTION
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TOA’s ER-1000 WR is a compact, lightweight, hands-free portable public address system with
a rated power output of 6 watts (9-Volt DC when used with six AA-type batteries).
The system can be wrapped snugly around the waist and using the supplied headset
microphone allows both hands to remain free, making it ideal for such applications as
conducting factory tours, directing traffic, instructing in sports facilities, and security-and-safetyrelated applications.
When the Unit is in Use
• Be sure to observe the following instructions. Failure to do so may cause hearing impairment.
· Reduce the volume to its lowest setting before use.
· Never use the unit close to a person's ear.
· Do not point the unit toward anyone when conducting operational tests.
• Do not open the battery cover forcibly by finger to prevent finger or fingernail injury. Use a coin
to remove the battery cover when it is hard to remove.
• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor modify the unit.
Leave all servicing such as inspection, adjustment, and repair inside the unit to your nearest
TOA dealer.
• Take a firm hold of both buckles when fastening or unfastening the Belt. The Belt is elastic, so
if one hand is removed when it is being fastened or unfastened, the buckles could spring out
and hit something, possibly causing injury.
• Make sure to observe the following handling precautions so that a fire or personal injury does
not result from leakage or explosion of the battery.
· Do not short, disassemble, heat nor put the battery into a fire.
· Avoid mixed use of new and old batteries, and batteries of different types.
· Never charge batteries of the type which are not rechargeable.
· Do not solder a battery directly.
· Be sure to use the specified type of batteries.
· Avoid locations exposed to the direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity when
storing batteries.
· When the unit is not in use for 10 days or more, be sure to take the batteries out of the unit.

3. FEATURES
• A thin speaker designed to be curved to follow the contours of the body can be fitted firmly
around the waist with an elastic Belt and provides freedom of movement.
• Since the power switch and volume control are located in the center of the Main PA unit, the
Main PA unit can be operated easily and placed on either side of the body.
• Equipped with a 10 cm (4") cone speaker that uses a light and highly functional neodymium
magnet, allowing for sound to travel over a wide range (with 180° directivity) and ensuring the
system’s volume is loud enough to be used even outdoors.
• Connecting a commercially available audio player to the auxiliary input terminal (AUX) allows
music to be reproduced while the user is talking.
• Operates on six AA-type alkaline (LR-6) or black manganese (R6PU) batteries. Using the
supplied Battery Spacer allows the system to be powered using just four AA-type batteries,
though the volume will not be as loud as when six batteries are used.
• Commercially available nickel-metal hydride batteries (HR15/51) can also be used to power
the Personal PA, providing an environmentally friendly and economical choice.
• The Belt also contains a pouch, which permits storage of such items as an audio player, spare
batteries or the Battery Spacer.
4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING
• The Personal PA is not waterproofed. Avoid using it in locations where it could be exposed to
rain or splashing from water.
• Should any of the following irregularities occur, immediately turn off the power and consult
your TOA dealer. Continuing to use the product without following this instruction may cause a
malfunction.
· When water or foreign objects get inside the product
· When sound is not produced (after confirming batteries are inserted properly and kept fully
charged)
• Do not leave the product in damp or dusty places, or where it is subjected to direct sunlight,
nor near heaters or in cars where the windows are closed, or somewhere where it can be
exposed to oily fumes or steam. Any of these can cause malfunctions.
• When using indoors, the influence of such things as reverberations from walls or ceilings can
make it more likely to generate feedback* compared with when the product is used outdoors,
and this makes it impossible to increase the volume. When using indoors, set the volume at 5
or lower. (Conditions vary according to the user’s environment.)
• Do not use the product with sound distorted for a long time. The Main PA unit can become
overheated, possibly leading to malfunctions.
• When using a mobile phone near this product, noise may be produced, but this is not a
malfunction. Keep mobile phones as far away as possible from the product.
• Suddenly moving from a cold outdoors area into a warm interior setting may cause water
(condensation) to build up inside the product. Caution is urged as condensation may cause
malfunctions.
• When using in public places, take care not to become a nuisance for others nearby.
• To clean, be sure to first switch off the power, then wipe with a dry cloth. When extremely
dirty, use a soft cloth dampened in neutral detergent. Never use benzene, thinner or
chemically-treated towels, which may damage the product’s finish.
* Feedback is a squeal or howl from speaker caused by speaker sound entering the
microphone, which is amplified by the amplifier again and is further output from the speaker.

5. NOMENCLATURE AND FUNCTIONS
[Personal PA – Top Side]
Volume Control [VOL]
Volume increases as this knurled roller is rotated toward the speaker and
decreases as it is rotated away from the speaker.
Note
• The auxiliary (AUX) input volume cannot be adjusted. The volume must be
adjusted at the connected external device.
• To avoid feedback, do not direct the microphone toward the speaker or bring the
microphone close to the speaker. Also, avoid cupping the microphone with the hand.
Keep microphone away
from speaker.
If feedback occurs, keep the microphone
away from the speaker or reduce the
volume.
Do not cup microphone
in hand.

Power Switch
Pressing this switch turns on the power and
allows announcements to be made from the
microphone and auxiliary inputs. To turn off
the power, press the switch again.
Note
After use, be sure to turn off the power switch,
confirming that the power indicator is unlit.
If the power is left on for prolonged periods
of time, the batteries will more quickly drain.
Dustproof Cap
Insert this cap into the unused input jack
(MIC or AUX) to prevent poor contact caused
by dust.
Inserted into the AUX jack when shipped from
factory.
Microphone Jack [MIC]
Monaural 3.5 mm (1/8” ) mini-jack
(–30 dB* / 3 kΩ), phantom power
supply. (*0 dB = 1 V) Insert the
plug of the supplied headset
microphone into this jack.
Using this jack simultaneously
with the AUX input jack causes
both sounds to be mixed and
output.
Auxiliary Input Jack [AUX]
Stereo 3.5 mm (1/8” ) mini-jack (–10 dB* /
2 kΩ) (*0 dB = 1 V)
Connect commercially available audio
players or other external equipment to this
jack. Use a stereo mini-plug cable (without
resistor).
Using this jack simultaneously with the
microphone jack causes both sounds to be
mixed and output. This jack can also be
used for monaural applications, however at
a reduced volume.
Note
Since the AUX volume cannot be adjusted
at the Personal PA, adjust the output
volume of the connected external device.
