IMPORTANT! Do not mix battery types or attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. Equipment damage, safety hazard or fire could result. Remove batteries if the unit is not going to be used for long periods of time to prevent leakage.

SW3240 / SW3250: Both lectems run on AC power or battery power. The battery carriage holds 10 D-cell alkaline batteries or Amplivox optional S1465 NiCad

Battery Pack (Fig.1) which also requires a S1460 AC adapter for recharging. (Fig.2). Or runs on a 12 Volt DC adapter (automotive cigarette lighter plug-in, not included).

Locate amplifier (A). Loosen four thumbscrews (B) and remove battery door. Remove battery carriage (C). Insert 10 D-cell alkaline batteries, observing polarity, or replace with fully charged S1465 NiCad battery pack. Carefully replace the battery carriage. Reposition battery door and fasten the thumbscrews.

Transmitter Bodypack: The transmitter bodypack (S1690T) is operated by 1 - "AA" alkaline battery. Before use, install battery as shown (Fig. 3). Make certain the battery is fully sealed in its compartment so the cover slides in place easily. Battery life with alkaline batteries is approximately 8 hours of operating time.

FEATURES

READING LAMP

The lectern is equipped with a bright, adjustable 6-LED reading lamp that aluminates the entire reading surface. To use the reading lamp located on the panel in front of the reading surface, the main power on the electronics panel must be turned on. The knob located to the right of the reading lamp turns it on and controls the brightness. Turn it clock-wise to make it brighter and counterclockwise to dim or turn off completely.

CLOCK / TIMER

The jumbo LCD display has backlighting for easy reading for the presenter to be able to track time and length of presentation.

HELPFUL HINTS

A) If the selected channel is noisy, switch both the transmitter and receiver to another channel.
B) Low ceiling fluorescent lighting, overhead telephone lines, or close proximity to metal fences can all cause static. If this occurs, try a slight change of position and/or try changing frequencies.
C) When the battery voltage drops below 6V, the L*D indicator will go out. This means you need new batteries.
D) Be sure to turn off the power whenever the units are not in use, and remove the battery if the transmitter will be out of service for a long time.
*) Cellular telephones cause interference. Ask your audience to turn off their cell phones.
NOT*: There are no user-adjustable parts inside the transmitter. Do not attempt to open or make any adjustments

FEEDBACK

Feedback is the howl or screech often heard in sound reinforcement systems. It is caused by sound from the loudspeaker returning to the microphone. AmpliVox systems utilize proven acoustical principles to minimize this; however, there is no way to completely eliminate feedback under conditions of high amplification. If feedback occurs check the following:

1. User's hand covering the head of the microphone. (Hold microphone under head slots.)

2. Sound can easily re-enter microphone. Keep loudspeaker turned toward audience. Note: sound can be reflected from a hard surface back through the microphone. (Turn speaker.)

3. User holding microphone in a reflecting position. (Turn microphone.)

4. Volume setting too high. (Reduce microphone channel volume; compensate by speaking louder or closer to the microphone.)
