ER-1206 ER-1206S ER-1206W

Thank you for purchasing TOA's Splash-Proof Megaphones. Please carefully follow the instructions in this manual to ensure long, trouble-free use of your equipment.

The ER-1203 is a 3 W splash-proof megaphone and the ER-1206 series is a 6 W megaphone. Both feature IPX5 water-jet-resistant designs. The ER-1206S offers a siren switch, and the ER-1206W is equipped with a whistle switch. The use of the supplied battery spacer permits the ER-1206 series to be operated on four AA batteries instead of six batteries normally required. Handle and mouthpiece with anti-bacteria treatment improve hygiene and safety during use.

• The ER-1203/1206/1206S/1206W megaphones are waterproof to IPX5 standard that permits the use of megaphones in an environment where rain or water may be splashed. Never use them in water or in heavy rain, nor souse water over them as doing so may cause unit failure.

• Immediately contact your TOA dealer if the following irregularities should occur. To avoid unit failure, make no further attempt to use the unit in these conditions.

· Smoke coming from the unit or a strange smell detected.

· Water or other foreign objects get inside the unit.

· No sound heard (after checking to be sure that the batteries are loaded in correct orientation, and

satisfactorily charged).

• Avoid storing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to direct sunlight, near heaters, or exposed to sooty smoke, as these conditions may result in unit failure.

• When batteries are left installed in the megaphone for extended periods of time, be sure to check them periodically for charge and leakage.

• Do not use the unit for extended periods of time with a distorted sound output. This could cause the inner parts to become hot and possibly result in unit failure.

• Noise may be produced when a mobile phone is used near the unit. However, this is not a failure. Use the mobile phone as far as possible from the unit.

• Use a tightly wrung-out damp cloth to clean the unit. If the unit becomes extremely dirty, use a cloth moistened in a neutral detergent and tightly wrung-out. Never use volatile liquids such as benzene, thinner, or alcohol to clean the unit, as these may deform or discolor its case.
