Channel change

Most users will never need to change the channel of the handheld microphone.  If one
Swift

TX

and one handheld mic are being used, there will be no need to change channels.

More than one pendant or handheld microphone transmitter can be used on either channel
for team teaching as long as only one is switched on at any one time. 

To use two of the same type of microphone simultaneously,
then one will need to have its channel changed. 

The handheld transmitter is normally used on channel B. 
However, if required, it can be changed to channel A as follows: 

Unscrew the battery cover and the switches will be easy to see
just above the battery compartment. 

Use the end of a paperclip or a small screwdriver to slide the
channel switch between channel A and channel B as required.

Please note that the label fitted to the outside of the 
battery compartment indicates the switch positions as 
‘CH1’ (= Channel A) and ‘CH2’ (=  Channel B).

Hi CH2 

(B) 

Default setting:

The left hand switch should always be left on ‘Hi’.

Right battery ‒ exposed end

This battery is fitted with the
exposed metal end against
the spring and the side
contact.

High capacity rechargeable AA
battery ‒ exposed end

(MBRAAHX1VAM)

Pull out the old batteries. Replace
with two new rechargeable
batteries, taking care to place the

battery with the exposed end in
the side with the spring at the
mic head end

and the contacts

beside the spring. This is
essential for correct charging.

Screw cover back on.

Changing the rechargeable batteries

The rechargeable batteries will only need replacing very occasionally ‒ depending on use, 
it will last between 1-2 years.

Holding the microphone transmitter

It is important to hold the microphone in the
middle so that the emitters are not being
covered by your hand.

Emitter windows

Using the external charger 

(part no: 45IRTXHCHG2) plugged
into a mains socket. Charge time is
16-20 hours from flat (i.e. overnight).

Do not leave the handheld
transmitter on charge for more 
than a couple of days.

In situ

‒ using the lead supplied with the handheld

microphone ‒ plug into the end of the handheld
microphone and into the ‘charge’ socket of the wall unit.
Ensure the charge socket goes to the top right hand side of
the door to avoid straining or trapping the charge cable.

Charging is automatically controlled by the wall unit as long
as the door is locked. If the door is not locked, the charger
cannot switch off automatically and the batteries may be
damaged if left on charge for more than a couple of days.

Charging

Depending on use, the handheld microphone may only need charging
every 1-2 weeks (approx. 10 hours use).

Remember to switch off the handheld microphone before charging. 
There are two ways to charge the handheld microphone:

Power status:
green light = good
red light = recharge now
no light = dead batteries
