Mercury batteries in the “9-volt-size” are also actually
8.4 volts. However, their discharge characteristics are
such that they will yield between 10 and 15 hours of
operation with the transmitter.
Carbon-zinc batteries are the least useful for transmit-
ter operation. Their low cost is more than offset by their
extremely short operating and shelf life. Although the
“heavy-duty” (HD) carbon-zinc types offer better low-
temperature performance and service capacity at
moderate to high current drain, they will not offer ap-
preciably better transmitter performance than standard
carbon-zinc batteries.

temperatures,
storing
batteries at low temperatures will
increase their shelf life. They should be sealed in bags
and, when ready for use, allowed to warm up to room
temperature (never heated!). Cold-stored batteries
should be used as soon as possible after bringing to
room temperature.
Battery life is shortened by high-temperature storage
such as on amplifiers or in vehicles exposed to direct
sunlight.

The battery should be removed if the transmitter
malfunctions, or if it is to be stored for a long period.
Most batteries have a protective jacket, but partly or
completely exhausted batteries are more prone to
leakage.
Do not attempt to recharge replaceable (primary) bat-
teries using “chargers”, heat or other methods. This may
cause leakage or explosion. Do not disassemble bat-
teries or dispose of them in fire.

ACCESSORIES
The following Shure transmitter accessories are
available through your Shure dealer. (Replacement parts
can be ordered from Shure’s Service Department; infor-
mation is available from Shure’s Service Department.)
MODEL WL83 LAVALIER CONDENSER MICROPHONE
- This is a tiny electret condenser microphone design-
ed for high-quality sound reproduction in broadcasting,
film and sound reinforcement applications. The WL83
plugs directly into the W10BT transmitter, and is sup-
plied with a variety of mounting options.
MODEL WA300 INSTRUMENT CABLE
- This is a 1.2m (4
ft), single-conductor, shielded cable with a 1/4-inch
phone plug on one end and a Switchcraft TA4F on the
other. It is used for connecting the W10BT transmitter to
a guitar or other musical instrument pickup.
MODEL WA310 MICROPHONE CABLE -
A 1.2m (4 ft),
single-conductor, shielded cable with a 3-socket (female)
XLR connector on one end and a Switchcraft TA4F on
the other. The WA310 is designed to connect the W10BT
to a low-impedance dynamic or condenser microphone
for
unbalanced
operation.
MODEL WA330 MICROPHONE CONNECTOR
- This
TA4F miniature connector permits microphones such as
the Shure SM10A or SM98 to be connected directly to the
W10BT transmitter.
FCC CERTIFICATION
The Shure Model W10BT transmitter is Type-Accepted
under Federal Communications Commission Parts 90
and 74. Licensing of Shure wireless microphone equip-
ment is the user’s responsibility, and licensability
depends on the user’s classification and application,
and on the selected frequency. Shure strongly urges the
user to contact the appropriate telecommunications
authority before choosing and ordering frequencies
other than factory-preset frequencies. This recommen-
dation applies to both original equipment purchase and
subsequent frequency modification by Shure.
