Product Compatibility 

The M319 Beltpack Transmitter (and Q319 

Microphone) are compatible with the PA919SD, 

PA919, PA919PS PAs.  They are not compatible 

with the PA916 series PAs or the M-316 or Q-316 

microphones.

Warranty Registration 

The warranty for the M319 specifically 

covers use in schools, churches, and business 

& industry applications, unlike consumer 

electronic products. This is critical to help avoid 

lost class time due to “down” equipment and 

helps stretch budgets.

Califone warrants the M319 to be free from 

defective material and workmanship for one 

year from the purchase date. Our “Project 

Intercept” Customer Satisfaction program will 

replace defective parts and repair malfunctioning 

products under this warranty when the defect 

occurs under normal use, provided the unit is 

returned to our factory via prepaid transportation 

only 

after the factory issues an RA

 (Return Authorization) number which 

must be clearly written on the outside 

of the shipping box.

All Damage Claims Must Be Made 

With The Freight Carrier 

Notify the freight carrier immediately if you 

observe any damage the shipping carton or 

product. Repack the unit in the carton and 

await inspection by the carrier’s claim agent. 

Notify your dealer of the pending freight claim.

Returning your unit for service or repairs 

Should your unit require service, contact your 

dealer or our Customer Service Department 

directly via email ([email protected]), or 

by phone at 800-722-0500 / 818-407-2400 to 

first obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number 

before sending it back to Califone. 

Damage Requiring Service 

The M319 should be serviced by 

qualifed service personnel when: 

• Objects have fallen on it or liquid 

   has been spilled onto it

• It has been exposed to rain

• It does not appear to be operating 

  normally or  exhibits a marked 

  change in performance 

• It has been dropped or the 

   enclosure damaged

All shipments to Califone must include the 

RA number clearly marked on the exterior of 

the shipping carton and must shipped prepaid. 

C.O.D. shipments will be refused and returned 

at your cost.

Servicing

The user should not attempt to service

the M319 beyond that described in these 

operating instructions.

Operating Instructions: 

The microphone frequency must first be set to 

the same frequency as the receiving PA. 

1. Open th battery cover and insert a 9V battery 

    (

not included

) into battery compartment. 

    Close the battery cover.

2. Adjust the volume knob to minimum.

3. Connect one of the Califone microphones 

    (shown on pages 3 & 4) to the 3.5mm 

     mic input jack.  The M319 can accept

     dynamic or electret microphones. 

4. Turn on the M319 power switch. The LCD 

     will  display the current transmit channel.

5. To change the transmit channel:

•   Use a pen to hold the channel down 

    

     button for about 3 seconds.

•   The transmit channel will begin to flash              

    on the LCD.

•   Release the down button. 

•   Then use the up/down buttons to change 

    to the desired transmit channel.

•   After about 3 seconds the transmit 

    channel will be set and the channel on 

    the LCD display will be solid.

•   Make sure the transmit channel is not being 

    used by any other transmitters in the area or 

    there could be audible interference. If there 

    is any interference or distortion, try using a 

    different channel.*

6. Set the Califone receiver to the same 

    channel as the transmitter.

7. Turn on the receiver and first adjust its 

    volume level.

8. Then turn the M319 on and adjust its volume 

    level to the desired level.

* Since the PA919SD and PA919  each have 

two built-in wireless receivers, make sure the 

corresponding M319 (or Q319) transmitters are 

set to different frequencies (one for 

each channel).

Power Adjustment (Optional):

1.  The power output of the M319 can be 

     adjusted between low (5mW) and high 

    (10mW) power settings, depending on the 

     level of interference or the range of required 

     transmission (low power up to 40’/high    

     power up to 200’).  When there may be 

     other PA products used in neighboring or 

     adjoining rooms, using the low setting will 

     reduce the occurrence of experiencing

     any interference.

2.  With the power off, simply change the 

     transmit power by moving the switch to 

     the desired setting.
