(wireless continued!)
Using the microphone ON/MUTE switch.
When set to the “ON” position the mic operates normally.
To prevent unwanted sounds from being picked up without
turning the transmitter off, move switch to “MUTE” position.
(The handheld mic/transmitter comes with a protective
sleeve which fits over the power and mute switches to prevent
accidental movement during use. To install it, unscrew the
battery cover and slide the sleeve onto the microphone
handle. Replace the cover.)
About the battery protect circuit
The automatic battery protection circuit turns the unit off
when the battery approaches its ‘critical discharge point’ to
prevent damaging the battery.
When the Battery LED begins flashing, this indicates the
battery is low and the unit will shut off in 15 -30 minutes.
Expected service time from the battery
The service time per charge will vary depending on the
volume level, type of program usage and if companion
speakers are used with the system.
Service time per charge (continuous music input).
medium volume
8 to 12 hours
full volume (before clipping)
4 to 6 hours
Charging the battery
Plug the RC-16 charger (RC-16/220 for export) into an AC
outlet and into the charger input (the Charger LED will light,
indicating the battery is being charged). The charger will
automatically charge the battery for optimum recovery.
When the battery is charged (about 12 hours), the Charger
LED will flash.
This indicates the charger has switched to the
maintenance charge rate—the charger may be left plugged in
to maintain a full charge without damaging the battery.
IMPORTANT: For longer battery life, always store the unit
with the battery in a fully charged condition.

Feedback Information
What causes feedback?
Feedback is a ringing, howling, or shrill sound that is self-
generated by the sound system. It is the result of sound from
the speakers being picked up by the microphone(s) in use
and then re-amplified by the system. This can form a self-
sustaining loop that can damage the sound system if allowed
to continue.
How to prevent feedback
ALWAYS STAND BEHIND THE SPEAKER
WHEN USING A MICROPHONE.
CAUTION:
Feedback can damage your equipment and may be
hazardous to your hearing. To avoid feedback, always make sure
volume controls are at minimum before turning unit on. If
feedback occurs, immediately reduce the volume.
