CAUTION

1. When Using the Battery
Danger

(1) Misusing the battery may cause the battery to get hot , explode,

or ignite and cause serious injury. Be sure to follow the safety r ules
listed below:

- Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.

- Do not install the battery backwards so that the polarity is rev er sed.

- Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the
battery to each other with any metal object (such as a wire).

- Do not carry or store the batteries together with necklaces, hairpins,

or other metal objects.

- Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer,

step on the battery, or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

- Do not solder directly onto the battery.

- Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery

to get wet.
(2) Do not disassemble or modify the battery. T he battery contains

safety and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the
battery to generate heat, ex plode or ignite.

(3) Do not place the battery on or near fire, stoves, or other high

temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight,

use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. D oing so may
cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite.
Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of
performance and a shortened life expectancy.

(4) Do not insert the battery into equipment designed to be hermetically

sealed. In some cases hydrogen or oxygen may be discharged from

the cell which may result in rupture, fire or ex plosion.

This device complies with Part 15 and RSS-GEN of the FCC and IC rules.
Operation is subject to the following conditions;
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION : Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could Void the user’s authority to operate this
device.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The belt clip is only applied to the TX.
The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain
metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not
satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided.

CAUTION : Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

CAUTION

Warning

Do not continue charging the battery if it does not charge within the specified
charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or
ignite. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
(Please refer to below instruction for safe disposal of lithium polymer battery)

2. While Charging
Caution

The temperature range over which the battery can be charged is
10°C to 45°C. Charging the battery at temperatures outside of this range
may cause the battery to become hot or to break. Charging the bat tery
outside of this temperature range may also harm t he perfor mance of the
battery or reduce the battery’s life expectancy.

3. When Discharging the Battery
Danger

Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the specified device.
When the battery is used in devices aside from the specified dev ice it may
damage the performance of the battery or r educe its life expectancy, and if
the device causes an abnormal current to flow , it may cause the battery to
become hot, explode, or ignite and cause serious injury.

Caution
The temperature range over which the battery can be discharged is

-10°C to 45°C. Use of the battery outside of this temperature range may
damage the performance of the battery or may reduce its life expectancy.

Safe Disposal of Lithium Polymer Battery

1) Battery cells be fully discharged before disposal.

2) If physically damaged, it is not recommended to discharge battery cells
before disposal.

3) Battery must also be cool before proceeding disposal.

4) Submerge the battery i nt o a bucket or tub of salt water. This container
should have a lid but it does not need to be air-tight. Allow the battery to
remain in the tub of slat water for at least 2 weeks.

5) Remove the battery from t he salt water and dispose of as hazardous waste.

Notes:

1) After synchronization, the mode goes back t o its prev ious selected mode.

2) When TX is OFF and inserted into RX, there will be no synchronization.

3) If the TX goes out of normal range, it will resume its previous status when
it comes back into range.

Synchronization of Transmitter and Receiver

The synchronization only needs to be performed the first time a system is
used, or another transmitter is used with a receiver previously sync ed.
Do not perform the sync operation multiple times; it only needs to be done once
successfully.

1) Turn the transmitter power switch to ON and select the operation mode with
MODE switch and place the transmitter into the receiver.

2) When synchronization is completed, then STATUS LED will stop flashing. If
vibration mode is enabled, then it will vibrate once.

Normal Operation

1) With the transmitter synced, remove it from the receiver, plug in the lapel
microphone (if used) and place the transmitter into the leather pouch on user’s
belt.

2) When user removes transmi t ter from the receiver, STATUS LED for each
transmitter and receiver will light constant green. To start recording, press the
REC button and the LED beneath REC button will blink red.

3) If the recording command from VPU is received, recording will start and the LED
beneath REC button will f l ash red. If the record command was not received and

a recording was NOT STARTED, the REC button will NOT flash red.

4) If the stop command from VPU is received, recording will end and the LED
beneath REC button will be of f.

Out of Range

1) The transmitter will alert user by flas hi ng the RED LED of STATUS.

2) The transmitter needs to move closer to the receiver and the l i nk will be re­established without physically “re-syncing” t he T X with RX when user returns to
normal range. STATUS LED will light constant green when link is back to
normal range.

Mute Button

1) Mute button can be us ed to mute the user’s audio s t ream when needed.

2) In recording mode; press mute button on the transmit ter, then ORANGE LED of
STATUS will flash.

Low Battery Warning

1) If low battery indicator (RED) start s flashing, return the transm i tter to the
receiver to be fully charged.

2) The charge LED indicator will light constant green when the unit is fully
charged.
