• When operating on rechargeable batteries, the optional BC-5000 Battery Charger is required.
• For rechargeable batteries, be sure to use the optional WB-2000 battery. Do not use other batteries.

7.1. How to Charge

Step 1. Set the wireless microphone's power switch to the OFF position.

Note

Be sure to turn off the microphone's power switch when charging. Batteries cannot be correctly charged if the power switch is ON.

Step 2. Place the WB-2000 rechargeable battery in the wireless microphone.

(Refer to p. 4 "Battery insertion.")

Step 3. Fully insert the wireless microphone into the microphone receptacle of the BC-5000 Battery Charger.

In this case, place the microphone with its power ON/OFF switch facing the charger's front or back.

The BC-5000's charging indicator lights red and charging begins.

Charging is completed in approximately 3 hours and the BC-5000's full-charge indicator lights green.

(When charging the WM-5225/5265 microphone, attach the mounting adapter supplied with the charger.)

Notes

• If the red charging indicator does not light even if the wireless microphone has been inserted into the charger, check to see if the microphone has been correctly inserted.
• The wireless microphone becomes warm after charging completion, however this is not a failure.

Note: For more information, please read the instruction manual enclosed with the BC-5000 Battery Charger.

7.2. Charging Timing

Please charge the equipment immediately when green LED light is off and red light is on during use.

When the battery alarm lamp on the receiver is on, the battery level of the microphone is low as well.

The microphone will not be able to operate within a few minutes.

Even though the battery remains enough, both green and red lights might be on at the same time.

[Guidelines on the rechargeable battery operation time]

Continuous usage time: Approx. 13 hours

Notes

• When using the WB-2000 rechargeable battery for the first time or when using it after it has been stored for a long period of time, be sure to charge it before use.

Step 2. Using the supplied screwdriver, set the Channel setting switch pointer to the desired channel number.

Step 3. Replace the microphone grip.

Note: Make sure that the wireless microphone is identical to the wireless tuner in the channel number. Should the microphone's setting differ from that of the tuner, the tuner does not receive the microphone signal.

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 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.
