HT-16U HANDHELD MICROPHONE TRANSMITTER
1. Installing batteries by unscrew counterclockwise the
BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER
(28)
and remove, exposing the
BATTERY HOLDER (26)
. Insert two fresh AA
ALKALINE BATTERIES (27)
, observing the correct polarity as marked, and screw the
cover back on to the microphone. Make sure the cover is screwed clockwise completely.
Fresh alkaline batteries can last up to 10 hours in use, but in order to ensure optimum perfor-
mance, it is recommended that you replace the batteries after every 7-8 hours of use.
3. Select Channel by turning the frequency agile rotary
DIP SWITCH (20)
to one of the sixteen
channels. The slot on the switch shaft should match a number of the dial, which indicates the
selected channel.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: The trans-
mitter must be OFF when selecting a new channel.
When selected, the transmitter will then be at the new
selected channel when turned ON. If you attempt to
change the channel when the transmitter is ON it will
not change until the unit is turned OFF and ON again.
This step must be repeated any time for selecting a
new channel.)
3. Turn on the HT-16U by sliding the
AUDIO SWITCH
(21)
to the OFF position fi rst. Then slide the
POWER
SWITCH (22)
to the ON position. The
TX LED INDICATOR (23)
will stay on and the
BATTERY INDICATOR LED (24)
will stay off, indicating usable battery strength. In the case
of a dead or low battery, the
BATTERY LED INDICATOR (24)
will either not go on at all or
will stay on continuously, indicating that the batteries should be replaced with fresh ones. To
preserve battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use.
4. The microphone is now ready to use. The
A or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATORS (14)
on
the WS-16U receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. When
ready to speak, slide the
AUDIO SWITCH (21)
to the ON position or to mute the audio, turn
it to OFF again. This switch mute the audio during use, can be turned on/off again. Adjust the
volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone Connection section of the above
WS-16U receiver instructions.
[Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter loca-
tion and speaker placement so that acoustic feedback (howling or screeching) will be avoided.
Note: The windscreen of the HT-16U functions as a built-in antenna. For proper operation,
never remove the windscreen during use, or exchange with another type. For optimum range
maintain line-of-sight between the transmitter and the receiver whenever possible. Holding the
microphone tightly, bridging across the windscreen and mic tube, will also lessen range. Hold
by the mic tube housing only for optimum operation.]
5. For optimum performance, an
INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (25)
is provided. Adjust the
gain by turning the control with a small screwdriver. It is recommended that the level be set at
about 1/2 maximum. Experiment and set for maximum possible gain without audible distortion
on the high level peaks.
(Note: Turning down the gain too much can compromise the signal-to-
noise and it is not recommended.)
