Frequently Asked Questions - Presenter PA ALTO

How to recharge the Presenter PA battery?

Plug the supplied power cable into the IEC input on the rear of the unit. The charge indicator lights red during charging and turns green when the battery is full. You can use the unit while charging. It is recommended to fully charge the battery after each use.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life depends on usage and volume. The battery is lead-acid type and can last several years with proper care. If the battery is left discharged for more than 6 months, it may permanently lose capacity.

How to pair a Bluetooth device with the Presenter PA?

Power on the speaker. If a device was previously paired, it will reconnect automatically. For a new pairing, press the Bluetooth button on the rear. The LED flashes quickly. On your device, search for 'Presenter PA' in Bluetooth settings and select it. The LED remains lit once connected.

Can I use a wireless microphone?

No, the mic input is an XLR jack designed for dynamic microphones only. Wireless microphones require a receiver with XLR or jack output, but the Presenter PA does not provide phantom power.

How to use the microphone mute?

Press and hold the Mute button next to the XLR input on the top panel to mute the mic. Release it to unmute.

Can I charge my smartphone with the Presenter PA?

Yes, plug your smartphone into the USB port on the rear. Make sure the unit is powered on, as USB charging only works when the power switch is ON.

What type of lamp can I use?

You can use a flexible lamp with a 4-pin XLR connector (not included). Plug it into the designated input on the top panel; it turns on automatically.

How to mount the Presenter PA on a stand?

The 3.5 cm socket underneath the unit allows mounting on a stand. Use an adjustable stand 76 to 91 cm in height. Ensure the stand can support the unit's weight and follow safety instructions in the manual.

What to do if the fuse blows?

Unplug the power cable from the mains. Unscrew the fuse holder on the rear panel and replace the fuse with one of the same rating (indicated on the panel). Never use a different rating fuse, as it may damage the unit.

How to clean the Presenter PA?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the unit is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.

Rechargeable Batteries

Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles. As with your car battery, how you use this battery has a significant impact on its lifespan. With proper use and treatment, a lead-acid battery can last for years. Here are some recommendations for getting the longest life from the internal battery.

General Usage Fully charge the battery before using the loudspeaker. Charge the battery completely after each use.

Storage For best product longevity, do not store at exceedingly hot (greater than 90 °F / 32 °C) or exceedingly cold (less than 32 °F / 0 °C) temperatures. It is acceptable to leave your loudspeaker plugged in. This will not overcharge the battery. If you leave the battery level low and do not charge it for 6 months, the battery may permanently lose capacity.

Repair If the battery fails to charge, contact Alto Professional at altoprofessional.com.

Disposal Bring the unit to a recycling center or dispose of in accordance with local ordinances.

Stand-Mounting

Presenter PA features a 1-3/8" (3.5 cm) diameter pole socket for mounting on a stand. We recommend using a stand that is adjustable between 30–36" (76–91 cm) in height for best results. When using a stand with Presenter PA, make sure to follow these guidelines:

• Always install loudspeakers in accordance with applicable electrical and building codes.
- Install the loudspeaker according to its maximum weight. Check the specifications of your stand or pole to ensure it can support the loudspeaker's weight. Also, observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer.
- Do not mount multiple loudspeakers on the same stand or pole.
- Always verify that the stand or pole is on a flat, level, and stable surface. Also, fully extend the legs of tripod-style stands, and ensure its legs do not present a trip hazard.
- Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with worn, damaged, or missing parts.
- Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. You may need to place additional weight (e.g., sandbags) on stand's base to improve stability. Do not attach banners or similar items to any part of a loudspeaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.
- Unless you are confident that you can handle the loudspeaker's weight, ask another person to help you lift it onto the stand or pole.
- Make sure your cables are out of the way of performers, production crew, and audience so they will not trip over them, pulling the loudspeaker off the stand or pole.
