Voice Projector Portable PA System
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VP18R is designed for “wide angle” sound coverage. The natural tone quality of the cone type speaker used in
this unit is ideal for indoor applications. The VP18R will work fine outdoors, however, the audience coverage will be
more limited than indoors.
The unit comes with a hand-held dynamic cardioid microphone, a 16-foot coiled microphone cord, carrying strap and
charger. There is an optional “headset” microphone available which connects directly into the mini jack. This unit will
also operate with a number of microphones offered by other manufacturers.
RECHARGING
It is very important to charge the system for 12 to 15 hours before you begin your presentation, especially if the unit
has been stored for several weeks or more.
To charge your unit, insert the plug on the CH-40 charger fully into the jack on the control panel and plug the charger
into an 110V AC wall outlet. Make sure the charger is not plugged into an outlet that can be accidentally turned off by
a switch.
The green LED next to the jack on the panel will stay lit as long as the charger is connected to the unit and to an AC
power source. The charging light does not indicate whether or not the batteries are fully charged, it simply indicates
that current is flowing through the charging circuit.
The unit requires two hours of charging or more for each hour of use. In most applications an overnight charge will
provide a full day of operation. Continuous charging will not harm the battery pack, although it is not necessary.
IMPORTANT
Failure to observe the following precaution can result in premature battery failure.
1.
The nicad batteries in this unit should
never
be completely discharged or run down. Keeping the batteries fully
charged when not in use is the best way to insure that the batteries will not fail in use or be permanently damaged.
2.
For maximum battery life, the batteries in this unit should be charged before each use. Since the batteries self
discharge during storage, always recharge the batteries before use if the unit has been stored for more than a
month without being charged.
This type of battery failure is not covered by the warranty and will not occur if these simple precautions are followed.
