FOR EQUIPMENT THAT CONNECTS TO THE POWER MAINS: 22. CAUTION: If the power cord of the device is equipped with an earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective ground. Never deactivate the protective ground of a power cord. 23. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in temperature (for example, after transport), do not switch it on immediately. Moisture and condensation could damage the equipment. Do not switch on the equipment until it has reached room temperature. 24. Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first verify that the mains voltage and frequency match the values specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selection switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values and the mains power values match. If the included power cord or power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet, contact your electrician. 25. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power cable does not become kinked, especially at the mains outlet and/or power adapter and the equipment connector. 26. When connecting the equipment, make certain that the power cord or power adapter is always freely accessible. Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply if the equipment is not in use or if you want to clean the equipment. Always unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet at the plug or adapter and not by pulling on the cord. Never touch the power cord and power adapter with wet hands. 27. Whenever possible, avoid switching the equipment on and off in quick succession because otherwise this can shorten the useful life of the equipment. 28. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Replace fuses only with fuses of the same type and rating. If a fuse blows repeatedly, please contact an authorised service centre. 29. To disconnect the equipment from the power mains completely, unplug the power cord or power adapter from the power outlet. 30. If your device is equipped with a Volex power connector, the mating Volex equipment connector must be unlocked before it can be re- moved. However, this also means that the equipment can slide and fall down if the power cable is pulled, which can lead to personal injuries and/or other damage. For this reason, always be careful when laying cables. 31. Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet if there is a risk of a lightning strike or before extended periods of disuse.

32. The device must only be installed in a voltage-free condition (disconnect the mains plug from the mains).

33. Dust and other debris inside the unit may cause damage. The unit should be regularly serviced or cleaned (no guarantee) depending on ambient conditions (dust etc., nicotine, fog) by qualified personnel to prevent overheating and malfunction.

34. Please keep a distance of at least 0.5 m to any combustible materials.4

DEUTSCHFRANCAIS ESPAÑOL ENGLISH ITALIANO POLSKI 35. Power cables to power multiple devices must have a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm². Within the EU, the cables must correspond to H05VV-F, or similar. Suitable cables are offered by Adam Hall. With these cables, you can connect multiple devices via the power OUT connection to the power IN connection of an additional device. Make sure that the total current consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the specified value on all connected devices (label on the device). Make sure to keep power cable connections as short as possible. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Maintenance and repairs should be exclusively carried out by qualified service personnel. The warning triangle with lightning symbol indicates dangerous uninsulated voltage inside the unit, which may cause an electrical shock. The warning triangle with exclamation mark indicates important operating and maintenance instructions. CAUTION – HIGH VOLUME LEVELS WITH AUDIO PRODUCTS! This equipment is intended for professional use. Therefore, commercial use of this equipment is subject to the respectively applicable national accident prevention rules and regulations. As a manufacturer, Adam Hall is obligated to notify you formally about the existence of potential health risks. Hearing damage due to high volume and prolonged exposure: When in use, this product is capable of producing high sound-pressure levels (SPL) that can lead to irreversible hearing damage in performers, employees, and audience members. For this reason, avoid prolonged exposure to volumes in excess of 90 dB. To prevent possible hearing damage, avoid listening at high volume levels over long periods of time. Even exposure to short bursts of loud noise can result in hearing loss. Please keep the volume constantly at a comfortable level. INTRODUCTION The new LD Systems MEI 100 G2 In-Ear Monitoring-System with outstanding sound quality and a large dynamic range. The system toggles between mono and stereo mode for perfect monitoring for live musicians, actors or speakers. A built-in limiter ensures even, distortion-free sound reproduction with a frequency range of 80Hz - 15 kHz and stands out because of its high signal-to-noise ratio and low total harmonic distortion. The multifunctional displays of the transmitter and receiver indicates all important system statuses. With high quality batteries, it is possible to attain running times of 10 hours and more. The MEI 100 G2 package includes high-quality earphones, a 19“ rackmount kit, and a rugged transport box made of ABS plastic.

Turning the knob to the left decreases the volume; turning it to the right increases the volume. To avoid hearing damage, set the volume to minimum before using the earphones/headphones, then slowly increase the volume. Caution: high volume can cause permanent hearing damage.

LC DISPLAY See “System setup”.

POWER BUTTON Switch on: Press and hold button for two seconds. Switch off: Press and hold button for two seconds.

Stereo mode: Both line inputs, left and right, must be used in order to hear a stereo signal on the receiver. It is advisable to set the left and right line inputs to the same level. Mono mode: Only one line input must be used in order to hear a mono signal on both sides of the earphones. If there are different signals on both line inputs, they are merged into sum mono signal. The loudness of the two signals is then adjusted using the left and right channel input level controls.

SETUP AND TROUBLESHOOTING

SETUP For optimal transmission, position the transmitter at a minimum height of 1 m and orient the antenna vertically upwards. When using multiple wireless systems in one installation, make certain that the antennas do not touch or cross. Do not position the transmitter in the immediate vicinity of metal objects and digitally controlled devices (CD players, computers, digital consoles, etc. ): There should be a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver.
