When Installing the Unit
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 Unit 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 containers of liquid or metallic 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 Installing the Unit
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.

13. DC input jack
Connects to the DC power supply unit. Because the tuner is equipped with no power switch, it automatically turns on when the DC power supply is connected to this jack and wall AC outlet. Disconnect the DC power supply unit from the AC outlet when the tuner is not in use.
6. OPERATION
Step 1. Connect the DC power supply unit to the unit's DC input jack and wall AC outlet.
The power is turned on and the power lamp lights.
Step 2. Set the wireless microphone switch to the ON position.
The reception lamp lights when the tuner receives the same frequency signal.
Step 3. Adjust the volume control.
The output level increases as the volume is turned clockwise, and decreases as turned counterclockwise.
Microphone Sensitivity Adjustment
Although the audio level is preset by the factory, it can be adjusted depending on the user's voice level.
Step 1. Holding the microphone body, rotate the microphone grip counterclockwise to remove it in the case of
the hand-held microphone, or slide the battery cover down to open it in the case of the lavaliere microphone.
Step 2. Turn on the power of the tuner and microphone.
Step 3. Adjust the microphone's audio level control using a screwdriver. The sensitivity increases as the
control is rotated clockwise, and decreases as rotated counterclockwise.
Step 4. Set the volume control so that its knob points to the 2 o'clock position. If the AF PEAK lamp remains
lit, readjust the microphone's audio level control so that the lamp only flashes when the signal reaches its highest peak.
Step 5. Replace the microphone grip (hand-held type) or the battery cover (lavaliere type).
The tuner's AF PEAK lamp lights when the tuner output level reaches the point of about 3 dB below the clipping level. The PEAK lamp operates in response to the volume control position.

8.2. Checking Ambient Signal Condition
8.2.1. What is the "squelch"?
In FM receivers, such as a wireless tuner, big noise is produced at the output when incoming signals are weak or when no signal is present. When the signal received is lower than a certain level of signal strength, by silencing the output, the noise can be suppressed. It is a squelch circuit that achieves this. An RF check key is provided to permit check of a disturbing wave when the unit is interfered with during its use. The key also checks the presence of the disturbing wave in the channel of the new channel numbers when the unit is set for such numbers.
8.2.2. Operations
Hold down this key for a while. As long as this key is pressed, the wireless tuner outputs the condition received in the highest sensitivity, allowing an operator to hear radio interference.
Note
Take care about the volume level since noise or interfering sounds are heard while the key is pressed.
8.3. Reducing Radio Interference by the Squelch Control
8.3.1. Squelch control
The WT-4810 tuner has the squelch function that silences its output in the condition that a radio signal to be received is under a certain level of signal strength.
This signal strength level can be varied by means of the squelch control graduated from "0" to "10." The sensitivity is the highest and radio signals can be received in wide areas when the control is in the "0" position, while the "10" position makes the sensitivity the lowest, permitting the radio signals to be only received in narrow areas.
It is possible to eliminate disturbing waves and only receive the radio signal transmitted from the required microphone by changing the squelch setting to make the radio signal reception area narrow. The wireless microphone's signal transmission distance varies largely depending on its ambient conditions, and the table below provides guidelines on the squelch control vs. transmission distance.
Note: Transmission distance when in "0" position is 100%.
8.3.2. Squelch control setting position
Set the control to the "0" position in locations free from interference.
Set the control to the position that does not cause any reception loss of wireless microphone signals.
