Operations Guide

This unit uses DC power. When inputting DC 15V, current cannot be less than 5A, or the system will not work properly. Before using this device, please charge fully for approximately 10-12 hours.

1. When using DC power, insert one end of DC cord into DC power input jack (4), and insert the other end into AC power outlet. Switch Power on (1) and the LED indicator (2) lights in green to indicate normal condition.

   •  When using built-in rechargeable battery, the power LED indicator light (2) is green and indicates a normal battery. When the power LED indicator light (3) is red, it indicates the battery power is low and you should recharge or replace it.
   • If battery power is failing, the main unit will power off automatically.
   • If you insert the power cord into DC input jack (4), the unit charges automatically.

2. Turn on handheld microphone or body pack transmitter power switch and the RF LED indicator (2)/(4) on the top panel and the receiver will light. This indicates the signal has been received properly.

3. If wired microphone is used, insert plug into into a 3.5mm input MIC 1 (8) or an XLR input MIC 2 jack (10) and adjust the volume control (7 for MIC 1 and 9 for MIC 2), as desired.

4. To connect an external sound source, insert signal cable into LINE IN (14: 3.5mm or RCA stereo). Volume can be adjusted by LINE IN volume control (13).

5.  To use an additional external amplifier, insert one end of signal cable into LINE OUT jack
   (15), and the other end to the external amplifier.

6. This unit has TONE (11), REVERB (12), BASS (18) and TREBLE controls (19).

7. Press playback on the MP3/BT Player to play audio content. Volume can be controlled by the volume knob (16) on the control board.

8. When connecting with video, insert one end of video out connection to VIDEO OUT jack (17).

9. To make voice a priority over music, turn on the Voice Priority Switch (6). When using the microphone, music will be lowered automatically to hear the voice. When you stop using the microphone, the volume of the music will be restored.

10. Voice levels can be controlled by using the Master volume key (20). The Master volume dial can control the preset volume levels of individual outputs (i.e.: wireless volume level, wired volume level, MP3/Bluetooth volume level).

Note: Please recharge the built-in rechargeable battery fully before operation.

Switch off the power and plug in the DC cord to start charging. Charging time is approximately 10-12 hours. Recharge the unit as needed.
If the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, periodically charge the battery. Turn off the unit, pull out the power plug and turn the Battery Disconnect Switch to the OFF position.
