STARTING YOUR DAY

1.

Unplug the WH-1 charger cable 

from the transmitter.

2.

Place the microphone and emitter properly 

on your body, as explained in “Setting Up Your

System,” on page 8. The microphone should be

no more than six (6) inches from your chin.

3.

Turn on the power switch on the receiver.

4.

Turn the amplifier on.

5.

Turn the transmitter on.

COMPLETING YOUR DAY

1.

Turn the transmitter “OFF”.

2.

Turn power switch “OFF” on the receiver.

3.

Turn the amplifier “OFF”.

4.

Plug the WH-1 charging cable into 

the transmitter.

AVOID WRAPPING THE MICROPHONE

CABLE AROUND THE TRANSMITTER

WHEN PUTTING IT AWAY. This could 

break the microphone cable.

AVOID placing speaker cables behind or next 

to an aquarium and AVOID placing computer 

monitors next to your receiver, if at all possible.

These items can give off electrical interference 

that will cause a buzzing in your system.

REMEMBER...

Your Freedom 2 Infrared Amplification System

uses two AA Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable

battery. AVOID using any other battery type

in your system, or it will not perform properly.

Average battery life is 6 hours.

Batteries can be recharged over a weekend, but

don’t charge them any longer than two days.

Your system is designed for use in large group

discussion areas. Position speakers accordingly.

Use your normal speaking voice, and let 

your system do the rest.

Once you’ve determined the proper settings 

of the components for your room, write them

down for your own information, and for the

school audiologist. Check your settings each

week to make sure they are still accurate for 

your needs and that of your students.

If you have any questions about set-up or usage 

or have problems with your system, call Lifeline

TOLL FREE at 1-800-236-4327.
