AL-MYNA Function Description

The versatile AL-MYNA microphone performs the functions of a wireless microphone and a system remote control. It can be used as a handheld microphone, a lapel microphone with included lanyard, or a belt pack microphone with optional AL-HSM headset. Each AL-MYNA has a switch located under the battery door used to set it's IR Channel to either A or B. One AL-MYNA must be set to Channel A and the other AL-MYNA must be set to Channel B. The system will not function properly if there are two AL-MYNAs set to the same IR channel.

Also located under the battery door is the LOCKOUT switch. When this is engaged all function buttons are disabled and the unit can be used as a microphone only.

The AL-MYNA can be used in two different modes that effect the control it has over the AL2430 amplifier/receiver.

Mode 1:

• The right side blue LED will be illuminated
  • Volume UP / DOWN buttons will control the microphone volume
• The Mute button mutes the microphone

Mode 2:

• Both blue LEDs will be illuminated
  • Volume UP/DOWN buttons will control the multimedia inputs on the AL2430 Receiver/Amplifier
• Mute button will mute the multimedia inputs on the AL2430 Receiver/Amplifier

Power and Panic buttons function as described below regardless of microphones mode setting.

The Power button needs to be pressed for three seconds to turn the unit On or Off.

When the Panic button is pressed along with the Mode button, a signal is sent to the AL2430 Receiver/Amplifier. This closes its Panic Output relay. The Panic Output relay can be connected to an external system. For example: the school's Paging / Intercom system to alert someone of an event in the class room that requires immediate attention.
