OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Battery: First charge battery before using. Unfold the plug on the S1402 battery pack (A) and plug into AC outlet (110V-240V). Battery will reach full charge in approximately 2 hours. LED light on top of battery pack (B) will change from red when charging, to green when fully charged. There is no memory effect with this battery pack so you can recharge whenever you feel like it!
• Operating Capacity and Standby Time: A fully charged battery will provide 8 hours of typical operation, defined as speaking 35% of the time at mid volume, and over one year of standby / idle time.
• Cycle Life: Lithium-ion battery pack can be expected to provide 80% of its rated capacity after 300 charge / discharge cycles and 60% after 500 cycles. Storing, transporting or using the battery pack at temperatures exceeding 115°F / 45°C or -4°F / -20°C will substantially reduce the cycle life of the battery pack.
• Install Battery: Locate battery compartment latch on top of megaphone (C). Open megaphone and insert battery into compartment (D) with led pointing up. Plug cord into the two pin connector located to the lower left of battery opening inside (E). Close megaphone. Do not pinch cord when closing.
• Battery Status: The megaphone has 3 LED's LOW, MID, HIGH, (F) that will tell you the current strength of the battery. Note: A drained battery will not give sufficient sound volume. Recharge the battery when LOW LED lights when trigger is squeezed.
• Talk: Make sure that the switch (G) is in the Off / Talk position. Place mouth about one inch from microphone (H), squeeze trigger (I) and speak. To increase volume, rotate volume control (J) left to right.
  When you have a freshly charged battery you may get "feedback" when talking. To eliminate feedback you need to turn down the gain. Locate the gain control (K) in the battery compartment. Turn until you do not hear any feedback. Less gain, turn counter clockwise. More gain, turn clockwise.
• Siren: To activate Siren, move switch (G) to the right. Siren will be heard. There is no control of the volume.
• Whistle: To activate Whistle, move switch (G) to the left. Whistle will be heard. There is no control of the volume.
• Property Label: Located on the bottom of the bell. Use marking pen to write ownership name on megaphone.

WHY USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES?

Save Money—While rechargeable batteries cost more initially, they can be reused hundreds of times and last for years.

Protect the Environment—Conserve Resources

The corrosive materials and heavy metals in batteries can impair human health and the environment. Rechargeable batteries use greatly reduces the quantity of batteries manufactured, used and discarded.

AmpliVox recommends recycling batteries through Call2Recycle, Inc., a 501(c)4 non-profit organization - www.call2recycle.org
