1. Snap open the
BATTERY COMPARTMENT (22)
and insert a fresh
9V BATTERY (23)
,
observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment.
2. The WLT is provided with a
3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (24)
for connecting the
microphone. Plug in either the
LAVALIER/LAPEL (25)
or the
HEADWORN
MICROPHONE (26)
, as supplied. To secure the connection, turn the metal slip ring
on the plug clockwise to thread it on to the jack. To unplug, reverse the process.
Slip the transmitter into a pocket or clip on to your clothes. To use the lavalier mic,
attach it at chest level. Do not place too close to the mouth—a distance of about
six inches usually works best. To use the headworn mic, place it on the head and
adjust the mic boom so that the mic is about one inch to the side of the front of
the mouth.
(Note: The lavalier or headworn mic wire is also the transmit antenna,
and rolling up or shortening the wire may reduce the effective operating range.
Extend the wire fully during use, and keep it as straight as possible.)
3. Turn on the WLT by sliding the
OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (27)
to the STANDBY
position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio
both on). The
BATTERY INDICATOR LED (28)
will give a single quick flash, indicating
usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will
not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be
replaced with a fresh one.
4. The microphone is now ready to use. Most or all of the
RF DISPLAY LEDs (4)
on
the Encore II receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the
transmitter. When ready to speak, slide the transmitter switch to the ON position
and adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone
Connection section of the above Encore II receiver instructions. The
AF LEVEL
LED DISPLAY (5)
on the Encore II receiver will light up to 5 LEDs (4 green and
1 red) for all input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during use of the
top red LED indicator in this display is normal, however if the red LED stays
on continuously, it means the signal is too loud and there is the possibility of
overload distortion. Re-position the microphone farther from the source or adjust
the
AUDIO INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (29)
until the red LED indicator flickers only on the
loudest inputs.
(Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and
speaker placement so that acoustic feedback (howling and screeching) will be
avoided. Please also observe the pickup patterns of the microphone selected:
omnidirectional mics pick up sound equally from all directions and are prone to
feedback if not used carefully. Unidirectional mics are more resistant to feedback,
but pick up sound sources best that are directly in front of the mic. Also, mics
that are farther from the sound source, such as lavaliers, require more acoustic
gain and thus are also more prone to feedback than close-source mics such as
handheld or headworn mics that are used close to the mouth.)
(Note: Microphone elements can easily be destroyed by the buildup of salts and
minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a windscreen on
the mic element at all times to protect it.)
