UHF WIRELESS MICROPHONE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• To prevent the electromagnetic wave from badly
influencing medical equipment, make sure to
switch off the unit's power when placing it in close
proximity to the medical equipment.

• 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.

· Never charge batteries of the type which are not

rechargeable.

· Do not solder a battery directly.

· Be sure to use the specified type of battery.

· Note correct polarity (positive and negative

orientation) when inserting a battery in the unit.

· Avoid locations exposed to the direct sunlight,

high temperature and high humidity when storing
batteries.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The WM-4200 Wireless Microphone employs a dynamic microphone element with high input handing capacity
and is suitable for vocal applications and other professional uses.

3. FEATURES

• One frequency can be selected from 64 operating frequencies (4 banks x 16 channels) of 690 – 865 MHz.

• An optimized PLL-synthesizer minimizes the oscillation frequency drift resulting from the ambient

temperature or voltage fluctuation.

• Dynamic range of over 110 dB can be obtained when the unit is used in combination with the WT-4800.

• Audio level control adjusts the microphone sensitivity.

• Power switch features a lock mechanism to protect accidental power-off.

• Battery lamp indicates battery consumption to prevent the unit from malfunctioning when the battery level

remarkably decreases.

4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• 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 unit failure.

• Never open nor remove the unit case to modify the unit. Refer all servicing to your nearest TOA dealer.

• Take care not to drop the unit onto the floor nor bump it against a hard object as the unit could fail.

• Do not place the unit in locations of high temperature (ex. in a car parked in summer) or high humidity as the

unit could fail.

• Do not use the unit in locations where it is exposed to seawater.

• To clean, use a dry cloth. When the unit gets very dirty, wipe lightly with a cloth damped in a dilute neutral

cleanser, then wipe with a dry cloth. Never use benzine, thinner, or chemically-treated cleaning towel.

• Avoid using a mobile telephone near the wireless microphone in use. Noise could be picked up.

6. BATTERY INSERTION

Step 1. Hold the microphone body and rotate the microphone

grip counterclockwise to remove it.

Step 2. Insert the battery 6LR61 (Alkaline 9 V) according to

the instructions attached to the inside of the battery
compartment. Pay attention to the correct polarity
when inserting the battery.

Step 3. Replace the microphone grip by sliding and rotating it

clockwise.

Battery replacement

• A brand-new battery will provide the power enough to operate the unit
continuously for 10 hours.

• As long as the battery has sufficient power for the microphone to function
properly, the orange LED will light. When the orange LED starts to fade and
then flash, replace it with a new one.

7. OPERATION

Step 1. Make sure that the receiver and the wireless microphone are of the same bank and channel (frequency).
Step 2. If they are not identical in bank channel, you have to adjust the bank and channel switches.
Step 3. Place the microphone ON/OFF switch in the ON position.

The orange LED indicates the circuit is active. Moving the knob strongly beyond the ON position locks
the switch in place.

Step 4.

Make sure to shift the ON/OFF switch back to the OFF position after using the WM-4200 wireless microphone.
To release the switch from lock, move the knob strongly toward the OFF position.

8. OPERATIONAL HINTS

• The microphone's service distance is 3 – 150 m. When the microphone user moves in a facility, signal
dropouts (momentary losses of signal reception) may be encountered. These dropouts are caused by the
building's architectural designs or materials which block the travel of or reflect the radio signal. If this occurs,
the user needs to change locations for better signal reception.

• The proper operation of your wireless system may be interfered with by other system operating on the same
frequency. In such cases, change the operating frequency of your system. It is recommended that the Scan
function (of the WT-4800) be used to avoid the frequency interference, which always searches and shows
idle frequencies.

• Should you have any questions regarding the use or availability of TOA wireless products, please contact
your local TOA dealer.

9. BANK/CHANNEL NUMBER SETTING

Step 1. Switch off the power. Rotate the microphone grip

counterclockwise to remove it.

Step 2. Using the supplied screwdriver, set the Bank setting

switch pointer to the desired bank number.

Step 3. Using the supplied screwdriver, set the Channel setting

switch pointer to the desired channel number.

Step 4. Replace the microphone grip.

Note: Make sure that the wireless microphone is identical to the

wireless tuner in both the bank and channel numbers.
Should the microphone's setting differ from that of the
tuner, the tuner does not receive the microphone signal.

10. AUDIO LEVEL ADJUSTMENT (SENSITIVITY CONTROL)

The microphone sensitivity is variable within a range of 15 dB.
To change the factory-preset level, follow the procedures below.

Step 1. Holding the microphone body, rotate the microphone grip

counterclockwise to remove it.

Step 2. Switch on the power of the tuner and microphone.
Step 3. Adjust the audio level control using a small screwdriver.

The microphone sensitivity increases as the control is rotated
clockwise, and decrease as rotated counterclockwise.
(Maximum input level: 130 dB SPL for maximum sensitivity and
145 dB SPL for minimum sensitivity).

Step 4. Adjust the corresponding tuner's volume control so that its knob points to the 2 o'clock position. When

the tuner's AF PEAK indicator remains lit, readjust the microphone's audio level control to the position
that causes the indicator to flash when the tuner output level reaches its peak. The AF PEAK indicator
lights when the output level reaches the point of about 3 dB below the clipping level.
Note: The AF PEAK indicator operates in response to the volume control position. However, the AF

LEVEL indicator (on the WT-4800) indicates the level regardless of the volume control setting.

Step 5. Replace the microphone grip.
