POWER ON/OFF SWITCH

CHANNEL SELECTOR SWITCH

1)  Switch the Frequency Selector Switch to the desired channel (A or B).

2)  Belt clip on the back of the unit clips the transmitter onto a belt or the 

transmitter simply can be put into a pocket.

3)  Plug the microphone into the Mic Input Jack.

4)  The microphone can be clipped to a necktie or other clothing, using 

the supplied clip. The lapel mic should be placed under the chin, as 
close to the center of the body as possible

5)  Slide the power ON/OFF switch to the ON position (the LED indicator 

light will illuminate).

HELPFUL HINTS

A) If the selected channel is noisy, switch both the transmitter and
receiver to the other channel.

B) Low ceiling fluorescent lighting, overhead telephone lines, or close
proximity to metal fences can all cause static. If this occurs, try a
slight change of position and/or try changing frequencies.

WIRELESS MIC SET UP

The VHF wireless microphone system is compact, lightweight and 
compatible with all AmpliVox VHF wireless systems. The wireless mic 
operates in an authorized VHF band and has a useful range of up to 300-
ft. Each  system operates on two crystal-controlled, switch selectable 
frequencies for clear clean transmission. 

 

“A” Channel 

“B” Channel

 

T6: 171.105 

MHz T7: 171.845 MHz

The frequency appears on the back of each unit. Both transmitter and 
receiver must have the same, and both units must be set to either “A” or 
“B.” Note that two transmitters on the same frequency will not work with 
one receiver. However two or more receivers will work with the same 
transmitter. Before use, make certain you understand the function and 
operation of the system. 

RF INTERFERENCE

Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio 
services. According to the Federal Communications Commission 
regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected 
from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any 
interference is received by any Government or non-Government 
operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation…” If you need 
assistance with operation of frequency selection, please contact your 
dealer or AmpliVox. Additionally There are models available for use in 
Canada.

POWER SOURCE

The transmitter and receiver are each operated by a 9V alkaline battery. 
Before use, install a battery as shown. Make certain the battery is fully 
seated in its compartment so the cover slides in place easily. Battery life 
with alkaline batteries is approximately 8 hours of operating time. The 
receiver also features an external jack for connecting a 9V DC power 
supply (not included).

TRANSMITTER OPERATION

If there is a “dead spot” in a room, try a slight change of position or try 
changing frequencies. Each unit provides two selectable transmitting 
frequencies.

BATTERY COVER

C) When the battery voltage drops below 6V, the LED indicator will
go out. This means you need a new battery.

D) Be sure to turn off the power whenever the units are not in use,
and remove the batteries if the units will be out of service for a
long time. NOTE: There are no user-adjustable parts inside the 
transmitter or receiver Do not attempt to open or make any adjustments 
E) Cellular telephones cause interference. Ask your audience to turn off 
their cell phones.

BELT CLIP

A detachable belt clip is included for convenience. Slide the tapered 
end of the belt clip into the grooved area located on the back of the unit 

until it clicks into place. 

PROBLEM SOLVING

FEEDBACK 

Feedback is the howl or screech often heard in sound reinforcement 
systems. It is caused by sound from the loudspeaker returning to the 
microphone. AmpliVox systems utilize proven acoustical principles 
to minimize this; however, there is no way to completely eliminate 
feedback under conditions of high amplification. If feedback occurs 
check the following:

1. User’s hand covering the head of the microphone. (Hold microphone 
under head slots.)

2. Sound can easily re-enter microphone. Keep loudspeaker turned 
toward audience. Note: sound can be reflected from a hard surface 
back through the microphone. (Turn speaker.)

3. User holding microphone in a reflecting position. (Turn microphone.) 

4. Volume setting too high. (Reduce microphone channel volume; 
compensate by speaking louder or closer to the microphone.)

NO SOUND

Make sure amplifier POWER switch is turned on and red LED is lit. If 
switch is on and LED is not lit, check to see that batteries are properly 
connected and at full charge. If using optional power adapter, check to 
see that front panel connector is properly seated, and verify that power 
source is live.
