KS-342
Before operating the Kamesan KS-342, you should be aware of
the following points:
All XLR-3 connectors (male and female) are wired with the fol-
lowing pinouts: 1=ground, 2=hot, 3=cold.
The AC adaptor jack is a tip-negative connection. DO NOT at-
tempt to make any connection to this jack except using AC
adaptors authorized by Kamesan.
Always remove any dead batteries immediately from the
Kamesan KS-342, and remove any batteries from the unit if it
will not be used for some time. Corroded and leaking batteries

Batteries and power
The Kamesan KS-342 can use any standard type of battery:
manganese, alkaline, nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydride cells fit-
ted in a BP-3/8 battery holder (supplied with the KS-342) or a
special NP-1 NiCd battery pack.
Eight type 3 (AA) size batteries are required.
In normal use and temperature conditions, a set of alkaline bat-
teries provides about six hours of operation. See the specifica-
tions at the end of this manual for more detailed information.
In addition, the Kamesan KS-342 can accept power from a
suitable power adaptor connected to the DC power input. This
power should be between 10 V and 15 V DC, with a maximum
current of 500 mA. The connector is tip negative.
