qualified personnel before further use. 

Avoid impact or heavy vibration to any of the components, dropping the microphone can cause capsule 

failure. No user serviceable parts inside transmitter or receiver - refer servicing to qualified service personnel. 

 

Safety 

 

 

Ensure that the correct power adaptor is used with adequate current rating (350mA minimum) and that 

the mains voltage is as stated on the adapter. 

 

Avoid ingress of water or particles into the transmitters or receiver 

 

Use alkaline or NiMH batteries in the transmitters and remove if unused for long periods. 

 

Observe the correct polarity when replacing batteries 

 

Placement 

 

 

Keep all components out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. 

 

Do not place heavy objects on top of the receiver or transmitters 

 

If rack-mounting, use rack ears provided and do not place heavy equipment above the receiver. 

 

2 receivers may be mounted side by side in a single 19

 rack space using the supplied jointing plate. 

 

Keep the transmitters and receiver away from damp or dusty environments.
