• Set volume controls
6
and
9
to zero
before connecting auxiliary equipment.
• Connect an audio source or wired mic
as described under section 4.
• V
OCAL
P
ORT
will provide a mixed signal
for all inputs.
• To record your performance or presen-
tation, connect a tape recorder to the
mix/rec out jacks
power and recharging
• The V
OCAL
P
ORT
is intended primarily
for battery operation.
• You may charge the battery at any time
irrespective of its residual capacity —
it will not develop a “memory.”
• Do not store your V
OCAL
P
ORT
for ex-
tended periods of time in entirely or
partially discharged condition. Always
recharge the battery immediately after use.
• If you are using V
OCAL
P
ORT
for the first
time or if it has not been connected to
AC power for more than a year, charge
the battery for 14 hours.
•
To charge the battery:
first, connect the supplied
AC adapter to the recharge
battery jack (see
1
), then
plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
Do not use switched outlets!
• The voltage of the supplied AC adapter
will match the voltage of standard outlets
in the U.S. and Canada. Using the AC
adapter with a different AC voltage may
cause irreparable damage to the unit.
• Charging will start auto-
matically, indicated by
the steadily lit charging
LED (see
2
).
• When the charging LED flashes,
the battery is fully charged and
the V
OCAL
P
ORT
is ready for use.
• Unplug the AC adapter from the wall
outlet and the recharge battery jack (see
1
).
• Turn on the V
OCAL
P
ORT
(see
3
).The status LED
(see
4
) should light green.
If it lights red the battery is
low (depending on the load,
battery operating time is 6
to 12 hours). The electronic
circuitry and the loud-speaker
will switch off automatically.
• During AC operation, the charging
circuit of the V
OCAL
P
ORT
will
automatically switch to trickle charge
mode. This means that the battery will
be automatically recharged during
operation. This also means you can
continue operating the V
OCAL
P
ORT
on
AC power even if the battery is
completely drained.
• In the event of a power failure, the
V
OCAL
P
ORT
will automatically switch to
battery operation with no interruption.
Therefore you can not switch the
V
OCAL
P
ORT
on and off by means of an
external power switch or safety cut-out.
cleaning and storage
• Ambient operation temperature should
range from -5º to +40ºC / 23º to 104ºF.
• Storage or shipping temperatures should
range from -15º to +40º C / 5º to 104ºF.
Temperatures below -15ºC /5ºF will
damage the battery.
• If condensation forms on the equipment
during shipping or storage, allow it to
acclimate for 2 hours before powering up.
• Use the loudspeaker in a dry environ-
ment with air of normal relative humidity
and dust concentration. Never expose the
unit to aggressive chemical liquids
or vapors.
• You may position the unit at any angle,
but always provide at least 2 inches of
free air space behind the rear panel for
adequate ventilation.
• Clean the loudspeaker enclosure with a
moistened cloth, making sure no liquid
enters the case.
