TIPS FOR CONVENIENT USE

1. Strength  and  direction  of  a  radio signal to be

transmitted from the wireless microphone change
depending on the part of the microphone body to

be held by the hand.  To prevent this,  hold the
upper part of the body.

2. To  avoid  feedback,  use the microphone with your

mouth put as close to the microphone top as
possible.

3. Adjust  the  tuner  volume control to an appropriate

volume level that prevents feedback.  The system is

prone to feedback if the microphone comes too

close to the speaker.  It is suggested that  tests be

performed  preliminarily of feedback  points in loca-

tions where the  microphone is to  be actually used.

4. To  prevent radio  interference or malfunction of the

tuner,  always use the microphone at least 3m  (10
feet)  away from a receiving antenna.

5. When  using  multiple  microphones  simultaneously,

separate  them at least 60cm  (2 feet ) from each

other to  prevent noise or break in sound, which

may result from mutual microphone interference.

6. Walls,  floors, and ceilings block the radio  wave's

straight-line  travel, and frequently  create null spots
that can cause temporary loss of signal reception

even within the practical  transmission distance
threshold. In 

such 

cases, relocate a receiving

antenna or change microphone locations. (To
effectively reduce the null spots, use the diversity
tuner instead of non-diversity tuners.)

7. Human  bodies absorb  radio  signals, and this can

badly affect signal reception.

 In

 rooms having a

number of people, attempt to install an antenna

high above the floor.

8. Once a wireless system  is installed, actually move

around the site with a microphone to check system
operation.

9. Color Identification Labels

Identification  labels of different colors are supplied

with the wireless microphone to simplify  confir-

mation of microphone frequencies when multiple
microphones are in use.  Attach one of the labels to

the microphone.  In this event, both the microphone
and its corresponding receiver  need to be in the
same  color scheme for easy association with their

frequencies.

ADDITIONAL EXPLANATIONS

Squelch circuit

In a receiver employing only a noise or carrier

squelch, the squelch circuit is actuated and provides

the output whenever the receiver receives the same

RF carrier as a receiving frequency. This 

causes

even a disturbing radio signal to be received provided
its frequency is the same as the receiving frequency.

As a result,  it can  happen that sound  is suddenly

heard  from the speaker due to disturbing  radio signal
even when the wireless microphone's power switch is
left OFF.

The squelch circuit of TOA's  wireless systems con-

sists of both the tone and  noise squelches, and is not
actuated  if only same RF carrier as the receiving

frequency is received.  It is so designed as to be
actuated and output a signal only when the received

RF carrier contains a very exact pre-determined tone

frequency component.  Therefore,  disturbing  radio

signals are rejected and the speaker can be kept
completely quiet when the wireless  microphone's

power switch  is set to  OFF,  ensuring  reliable use in
every  application.
