Installation precautions

Warning

• Always ask a retailer to perform these operations.
• Before installation, set the power switch on the devices you want to connect to OFF. Carefully read the “Precautions” chapter and follow all of its instructions. Also refer to the manual of the devices you are connecting.
• In order to avoid damages, properly install the antenna to either the ceiling, a wall, or a microphone stand according to the instructions in this manual.

When installing the antenna, follow all official ordinances on electrical equipment technical standards.

Do not power ON the equipment while installing it.

• Make sure that all equipment is powered OFF while installing it. Also power OFF all mixers, amplifiers, and other devices connected to the system. Failing to do so will result in a loud noise coming out of the speakers and possibly damaging the system.

Installation

• Do not use for extended periods of time in very hot or humid environments. The unit will degrade more quickly and its expected lifespan will be reduced. Improve heat dissipation near the installation place and make sure that the unit is not hit by direct sunlight.

Installation place

• Install the unit within a range where it can communicate with the microphone.

• When placed between the microphone and the antenna, devices such as displays or projectors may cause interference and result in audio dropouts. Make sure that the antenna has line-of-sight access to the microphone.

• Place the antenna at as high a place as possible. Otherwise, people passing across the low line-of-sight between the antenna and the microphone may cause interferences or audio dropouts.

• When installing the antenna on the ceiling, choose an unobstructed place distant from
  

• This system uses the same frequency (1.9 GHz) as other devices which use the DECT standard, such as cordless phones. Using this system on the same floor as a cordless phone or other DECT device may cause interferences and stuttering transmission.

• Using this system in an environment surrounded by metal (copper, aluminum, iron, etc.) walls, floor, or ceiling may cause the radio waves to be excessively reflected, resulting in a phenomenon known as “multipath fading”. Multipath fading can cause transmission errors (such as audio dropouts) even if the signal is strong enough.

• Make sure that there are no objects such as concrete walls or metal panels (partitions, wall-mounted lockers, doors, etc.) between the antenna and the microphone, as these will obstruct the transmission of radio waves.

• Placing the antenna at a low place could reduce its range

Do not install the antenna in the following places

• Places subject to vibration or strong shocks
• Places exposed to large amounts of humidity and/or dust
• Places where chemicals are being used, such as pools
• Places with large amounts of steam or grease, such as kitchens Near
• speakers, TVs, magnets, and other strong magnetic sources
• Behind (from the microphone’s perspective) blackboards, whiteboards, display, projectors, etc.
• Near sources of radiation, X-rays, or strong radio waves or magnetism
• Inside metal casings (metal racks containing devices) or rooms whose ceiling or walls are surrounded by metal
• Near TVs, radios, computers, and other office automation appliances
• Near CS digital broadcasting receivers (tuners, digital TV sets with internal tuners, recorders, etc.)
• Inside wagon trolleys surrounded by metal
• Where there is a risk of damage from seawater or corrosive gases
• Under direct sunlight
• Places without roofs, directly exposed to the wind and rain

Wireless interference

• Devices emitting strong radio noise may interfere with the antenna and make it unusable when placed near it. Ensure there is enough space between the antenna and such devices to avoid interference. (Note: Place the antenna at least 30 m (98.4 ft) away from cellular base stations)
• In the following case, contact a retailer beforehand to confirm suitability of the environment for use with the antenna:
• Using the antenna on a wagon trolley
• As the antenna uses the same frequency (1.9 GHz) as other DECT devices such as cordless phones, the maximum number of usable microphones may be limited.

Power

• The antenna does not have a power switch. Unplug the LAN cable to turn OFF the antenna. If the cable cannot easily be unplugged because of the way in which the antenna is installed, unplug the power cable of the receiver connected to the antenna

Important

• Make sure that all equipment is powered OFF before installing it.
• Make sure that the equipment is working before installing it. Connect the antenna with the receiver and supply power to it. Then
  confirm that the microphone audio is output from the speaker connected to the receiver.

Static electricity

• Before installing the antenna, discharge yourself by touching a grounded metal object in order to avoid damage caused by static electricity buildup.

Tightening screws

• Tighten screws straight up. After tightening the screws, make visual confirmation that they are straight and well-tightened.
• Do not use impact screwdrivers or electric screwdrivers, as even the ones with clutches make it difficult to control the torque, and risk damaging the mounting unit.

Avoid subjecting the antenna to shocks

• Protect the antenna from strong hits or shocks. These may cause damage to the antenna.

Adding antennas

• Before adding new antennas, power OFF the receiver. If you add an antenna to a turned on receiver, the new antenna will not be powered and it will be not usable.
