1. Snap open the
BATTERY COMPARTMENT (22)
and insert a fresh
9V BATTERY (23)
,
observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment.
2. The WLT-15 is provided with a
3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (24)
for connecting the
microphone. Plug in either the
LAVALIER/LAPEL (25)
or the
HEADWORN MICRO-
PHONE (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-15 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 I 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 I receiver instructions. The
AF LEVEL LED
DISPLAY (5)
on the Encore I 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.)
