GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Compact and light weight, the TOA WM-370 is a lavalier type wireless microphone for speech. It incorporates a uni-directional electret condenser microphone to minimize feedback, and a compressor/expander system noise reduction circuit to minimize the influence of high-frequency noise generated from digital equipment such as personal computers and word processors.

FEATURES

Internal loop antenna.

Small size, light weight and high reliability. Continuous operation for 12 hours or more on one alkaline battery (LR6/1.5V).

Two battery indicators (green and red). Internal I.D. signal generator for tone squelch.

Compressor/expander system noise reduction circuit.

USER PRECAUTIONS

Take care not to drop the unit on to a hard floor. Do not flip nor blow into the microphone head.

Avoid placing the unit in areas of extremely high humidity and temperature.

Never open the unit nor touch its internal components.

Clean the unit's exterior periodically with a soft dry cloth. If it gets very dirty, wipe first with a soft damp cloth lightly soaked in a neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth.
