USER MANUAL BC500012 TOA

BC-5000-12 Thank you for purchasing TOA’s Battery Charger. Please carefully follow the instructions in this manual to ensure long, trouble-free use of your equipment.

For use with non-consumer equipment only

• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section for correct and safe operation.

• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings and/or cautions regarding safety.

• After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage. WARNING CAUTION When Installing the Charger

• Do not expose the charger to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

• Use the charger only with the voltage specified on the charger. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified may result in fire or electric shock.

• Avoid installing or mounting the charger in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted surface. Doing so may result in the charger falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage. When the Charger is in Use

• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the AC adapter's power supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the charger in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.

• If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the charger

• If water or any metallic object gets into the charger

• If the charger falls, or the charger case breaks

• If the AC adapter's power supply cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.)

• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor remove the charger case as there are high voltage components inside the charger. Refer all servicing to your nearest TOA dealer.

• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of liquid or metallic objects on top of the charger. If they accidentally spill into the charger, this may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or flammable materials inside the battery charger or its rechargeable unit receptacle, as this may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch a power supply plug during thunder and lightning, as this may result in electric shock.

• Stop charging if the batteries are not fully charged within 3 hours. Failure to do so may cause the batteries to fire, explode, leak, or heat. When Installing the Charger

• When moving the charger, be sure to remove AC adapter's power supply plug from the wall outlet. Moving the charger with the power supply cord connected to the outlet may cause damage to the power supply cord, resulting in fire or electric shock.

• Avoid installing the charger in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric shock. When the Charger is in Use

• Switch off the power, and unplug the AC adapter's power supply plug from the AC outlet for safety purposes when cleaning or leaving the charger unused for 10 days or more. Doing otherwise may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Use the optional AD-5000-6 AC Adapter dedicated for the charger. Note that the use of other adapter may cause a fire.

• Avoid charging units installed with rechargeable batteries other than the dedicated WB-2000 battery. Charging any other than the specified battery could result in fire or personal injury due to battery rupture. WARNING CAUTION3

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TOA BC-5000-6 and BC-5000-12 are dedicated battery chargers for the WM-5225 and WM-5265 Wireless Microphones, WM-5325 Wireless Transmitter, and the WT-5100 Portable Receiver. Both chargers work with the optional AD-5000-6 AC Adapter. The BC-5000-6 and BC-5000-12 employ a quick charging system for nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, allowing up to 6 or 12 units to be fully charged within 3 hours.

3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• Use the chargers in locations where an ambient temperature ranges from 0 to 40 ºC (32 to 104 ºF).

• When cleaning the case, be sure to first switch off the power, then wipe with a dry cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or chemically processed towels, as these may damage the charger's components and parts.

• Clean the charging terminals on a regular basis using a dry cotton swab. Dirty terminals can cause poor electrical contact and cause batteries to be charged incorrectly. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by TOA Corporation may void the authority granted the user by the FCC to operate this equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required correct the interference at his own expense. FCC Compliance4

Mounting Adapter Used when charging the WM-5225 or WM-5265 Wireless Microphone. Remove this adapter when charging the WM-5325 Wireless Transmitter or WT-5100 Portable Receiver. (Refer to p. 5 "CHARGING.")

6. Rechargeable unit receptacle

Charging the WM-5225 or WM-5265 requires the mounting adapter to be attached in the receptacle. To charge the WM-5325 or WT-5100, insert it directly into the receptacle.

When charging, never load rechargeable batteries other than the specified WB-2000 battery in the unit to be charged. Charging any other than the WB-2000 battery may result in fire or personal injury due to battery rupture. CAUTION Notes

• Use the charger in locations where ambient temperature ranges from 0 to 40ºC (32 to 104ºF).

• Be sure to charge the WB-2000 battery before use.

• Do not use the charger in locations subject to strong vibrations as poor electrical contact may result, preventing correct charging.

• Do not frequently insert and remove the unit from the charger during charging as this could degrade the WB-2000 battery performance.

• If the battery operating time is extremely short even when it has been fully charged, be sure to replace it with a new WB-2000 as the battery has reached the end of its life. Tip: Under normal use condition, the battery can cycle through about 500 charges and discharges, after which it will usually need to be replaced.
