Charging the battery and powering up
Your new PAV8-UHF main unit may arrive with you with the internal battery charged. Before
connecting to the mains, switch the unit on and see if the power LED (24) lights green and
check the adjacent battery charge status LEDs. If the battery charge LED is red (low), you will
need to charge the battery before using away from a mains supply.
There is a power adaptor supplied which connects to the main unit via the DC power adaptor
inlet (10). This inlet can also be powered from another 12-15Vdc source, such as a car battery.
When connected to the mains via the power adaptor, if the main power on/off button (11) is in
the OFF position, the internal battery will be re-charged from the mains supply. This can be
observed by the charging LED (above the power LED) which lights orange when charging.
When the battery is full, this LED will change to green.
To power the main unit up, start with all rotary controls turned down (anti-clockwise) and press
the POWER button on (the power LED should light). Turn BASS and TREBLE controls (4, 14) to
point vertically (12-o-clock position). Turn up the main Volume (15) control part way and switch
VCV (voice controlled volume) off (16). Your PAV8-UHF set should now be ready to operate.
Initial checking of the output may be easiest using the internal media player
–
inserting a disc
or USB/SD media normally initiates playback. See the Media Player section further on in this
manual for full instructions.
UHF Wireless Microphones
The PAV8-UHF has a built-in dual UHF receiver and is supplied with 2 x handheld
wireless microphones. Each handheld microphone will need to be loaded with 2 x
AA batteries (supplied) before use by carefully unscrewing the base of each and
connecting the “+” and “
-
” terminals o
f the battery to the corresponding contacts
inside the microphone body, taking care to observe the correct polarity.
Turn the UHF VOL A and UHF VOL B controls (7, 18) part way up (clockwise).
Antennas are fixed inside the speaker and do not need to be extended.
Switch on each microphone by moving the slide switch upwards. The LED below
the switch should light briefly and the RF LEDs on the main unit (8) should also
light to indicate that carrier signals are being received.
If the LED on the handheld transmitter lights dimly, it is advised to replace the
batteries.
