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 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 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 us-
able 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. The A and/or B DIVERSITY LED INDICA-
TORS (3) and 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: omnidi-
rectional mics pick up sound equally from all directions and are prone to feed-
back 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 acous-
tic 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 wind-
screen on the mic element at all times to protect it.)
