9. OPERATION

Step 1. Confirm that the wireless microphone and the wireless tuner are identical in the channel number. If not identical, turn the power ON/OFF switch to the OFF position, then set the channel number to the same channel number as the tuner.

Step 2. Turn the Power ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Then, confirm the green LED of the Power/Battery lamps will light.

Step 3. Turn the Power ON/OFF switch to the OFF position after use.

10. OPERATIONAL HINTS

• The microphone's service distance is 3 – 120 m. When the microphone user moves in a facility, signal dropouts (momentary losses of signal reception) may be encountered. These dropouts are caused by the building's architectural designs or materials which block the travel of or reflect the radio signal. If this occurs, the user needs to change locations for better signal reception.
• The proper operation of your wireless system may be interfered with by other system operating on the same frequency. In such cases, change the operating frequency of your system. (As to dealing with the interference, refer to the operating instructions of the wireless tuner.)
• Should you have any questions regarding the use or availability of TOA wireless products, please contact your local TOA dealer.
