Quick Start 

 

This Quick Start contains the basic steps necessary to set up and operate your Talking House /i, A.M. Radio Transmitter using 

the Indoor Wire Antenna. Please read the detailed procedures in this manual for complete instructions, especially if your set-up 

includes an Outdoor Antenna. 

1.

 

Make sure the Control Lock Key is inserted in the Control Lock Hole located on the rear of the Transmitter. This key 

must be completely inserted to record messages and set the frequency on the transmitter. Also, make sure that the 

“ANTENNA SELECT” switch is in the “Basic” position. 

 

 

 

2.

 

Connect the Indoor Antenna and be sure to uncoil and fully extend the Wire. 

3.

 

Set the "TWO-PART MESSAGE SELECT" Switch to "Part-One." You are now ready to record a message to be broadcast 

via the Internal or External Mic or any external input source connected to the "LINE INPUT" Jack. 

4.

 

Plug the hand-held Microphone into the "MIC" Jack located on the back of the Transmitter. If you are not using a 

hand-held mic, the Transmitter input will default to the Internal Microphone located just under the perforated lid. Or 

plug any line-level source (MP3 player, cassette deck) into the "LINE INPUT" Jack on the rear panel. 

5.

 

Next, plug the Power Transformer into a grounded wall outlet, and then plug the Power Cord into the "CUSTOM 

POWER" Input Jack located on the back of the Transmitter. The Transmitter will then begin calibrating itself. When it 

is finished calibrating, a frequency will appear on the front panel display. 

6.

 

The "SPEAKER VOLUME" should be turned off when using the Mic to avoid feedback.
