3. Turn the power switch ON
(plug in power cord for AC operation).
Observe LED indicators to confirm
battery level and power.
Battery Power
(upper LED’s): The green light
indicates the battery is at or near full charge and ready to use. The yellow light
means 20-30% usage remains, and red means less than 15% remains and
that the battery should be charged before use (see “Charging the battery”).
AC Power
(lower LED): The SM-5 automatically runs on AC power when-
ever the unit is plugged in and turned on. The green indicator on the bottom
row will light indicating full AC operation.
4. Adjust the volume level and sound quality.
Increase the volume of the input being used to desired level (be sure the
microphone or input source is turned on!) Adjust equalizer and set voice
switch as necessary (see pages 6, 7 and 9 for more details).
Charging the battery.
While it is not harmful to store your SM-5 with a partially discharged battery,
charging after each use will ensure maximum operating time for your next
event. We also recommend charging if the battery has been completely run
down or before placing into storage. Optimum charging is achieved when
the battery is charged between 0 and 40 degrees centigrade (32-104 Deg F).
If the outdoor environment is unusually warm or cold, bring the unit indoors
before charging.
Charging the battery.
Turn the system “off” and plug the cord into a standard AC outlet
to charge the battery. The system automatically begins charging,
indicated by the flashing charge LED.
When the charge LED lights steady, the battery is fully charged
and the unit is ready for use or storage.
The typical time to recharge an empty battery is 7 hours.
