Safety symbols and messages described below are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property
damage which could result from mishandling. Before operating your product, read this manual first and
understand the safety symbols and messages so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards.

PRECAUTIONS

Conventions

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could
result in death or serious personal injury.

When Installing the Receiver

• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as
doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

• Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified
may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the power
cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on the power
cord, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted surface.
Doing so may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• To prevent lightning strikes, install the unit at least five meters away from a lightning rod, and yet within the
protective range (angle of 45°) of the lightning conductor. Lightning strikes may cause a fire, electric shock
or personal injury.

• Since the unit is designed for in-door use, do not install it outdoors. If installed outdoors, the aging of parts
causes the unit to fall off, resulting in personal injury. Also, when it gets wet with rain, there is a danger of
electric shock.

When the Receiver is in Use

• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power
supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the
unit in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.

· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.

· If water or any metallic object gets into the unit

· If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks

· If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.)

· If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)

• Do not place cups, bowls, or other conta ine rs of liquid or metal lic objects on top of the unit. If they
accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch the unit's antennas during thunder and lightning, as this may result in electric shock.

When the Microphone or the Transmitter is in Use

• To prevent the electromagnetic wave from badly i nf l ue nci ng m e di c al e qu ipm e nt , ma k e s ure to switch
off the unit's power when placing it in close proximity to the medical equipment

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled,
could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property
damage.

When Installing the Receiver

• Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock.

• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord
itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power supply cord may cause a fire or electric shock.

• When moving the unit, be sure to remove its power supply cord from the wall outlet. Moving the unit with the
power cord connected to the outlet may cause damage to the power cord, resulting in fire or electric shock.
When removing the power cord, be sure to hold its plug to pull.

• The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric
shock.

When the Receiver is in Use

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may cause it to fall or break which may result in personal injury
and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.

• Make sure that the volume control is set to minimum position before power is switched on. Loud noise
produced at high volume when power is switched on can impair hearing.

• Never open the unit case as there are high temperature parts inside the unit, which may cause a burn if
touched. Refer all servicing to your nearest TOA dealer.

• Use the dedicated AC adapter for the unit. Note that the use of other adapter may cause a fire.

• If dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in the wall AC outlet, a fire may result. Clean it periodically.
In addition, insert the plug in the wall outlet securely.

• Switch off the power, and unplug the power supply plug from the AC outlet for safety purposes when cleaning
or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or more. A fire or electric shock may result.

• Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by TOA Corporation may void the authority
granted to the user to operate this equipment.

• Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.

When the Microphone or the Transmitter is in Use

• When the unit is not in use for 10 days or more, be sure to take the battery out of the unit because battery
leakage may cause personal injury or contamination of environment.

• 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.

· Do not solder a battery directly.

· Be sure to use the specified type of battery

· Note corr ect pola rit y (p osi ti ve an d neg at ive orientation) when inserting a battery in the unit.

· Avoid locations exposed to the direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity when storing batteries.

• When the battery becomes inflated or leaks, discontinue use and replace with new one immediately

CAUTION TO USER: Changes or modifications not expr es sl y approv ed by the party r es po ns ible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IMPOR TANT NOTE: To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirement s, no change to the
antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the ant en na or the device could r es ult in the device
exceeding the RF exposure requirements and void user’s authority to operate the device.
