Harley Benton 509161 AirBorne Wi-5.8 GHz Instrument

The AirBorne Wi-5.8 GHz Instrument is a wireless audio transmission device. It is designed to transmit audio signals wirelessly between instruments and amplifiers, mixers, or effects devices.

Safety Instructions

1. Intended Use: The device should only be used for wireless audio transmission. Any other use or use under different operating conditions may result in personal injury or property damage. The manufacturer will not be liable for damages resulting from improper use.

2. Danger for Children: Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, and other small parts are disposed of properly and kept out of reach of babies and young children. Do not let unattended children use electrical devices.
   Notes on wireless transmission
   The system works in the frequency range 5.729 GHz… 5.820 GHz and is free of charge and registration worldwide.
   This device utilizes frequencies that are not harmonized within the European Union (EU) and therefore may only be used in certain EU member states. In all European countries, the frequencies used for the transmission of audio signals are strictly regu-lated. Before you start, make sure the frequencies are allowed in the respective coun-try and check whether the operation must be reported to the appropriate authority.

   • Make sure that transmitter and receiver are both tuned to the same channel.

   • Never set multiple transmitters to the same channel.

   • Make sure that there are no metal objects between the transmitter and receiver.

   • Avoid interference from other radio or in-ear systems.
     Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury

   • In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries.

   • When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.

   • Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.

   • Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.

   • If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rub-ber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water.

   • Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lith-ium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.

   • Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.

   • Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extin-guish a burning lithium battery.
     Possible damage to lithium-ion batteries through incorrect storage
     By deep discharge, lithium-ion batteries can be permanently damaged or lose some of their capacity.
     Before long breaks, charge the batteries to around 50 % of their capacity and then switch off the device. Store the device at room temperature or cooler in an envi-ronment as dry as possible. If the batteries are stored for a longer period, recharge them to 50 % every three months.
     Fully charge the batteries only shortly before use at room temperature.
     Where to use the product
     Never use the product

   • in direct sunlight

   • in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity

   • in extremely dusty or dirty areas

   • at locations where the unit can become wet

   • near magnetic fields

3. Lithium Battery Handling: If the lithium battery leaks or gets damaged, seal it in airtight packaging and clean up any electrolyte traces using absorbent paper towels while wearing protective rubber gloves. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water.

4. Cleaning: Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners, or flammable cleaning agents on the device.

5. Electromagnetic Compatibility: Using the device near radios or TV sets may cause interference. Increase the distance between the devices if interference occurs.

6. Foreign Substances: Keep the device away from containers with liquids to prevent damage or fire. Avoid letting any metal objects enter the unit.

7. General handling

   • To prevent damage, never use force when operating the switches and controls.
   • Never immerse the appliance in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents. Electromagnetic compatibility other electrical equipment

8. Using the device near radios or TV sets may cause interference. Then increase the distance between the devices.
   Keep foreign substances from the unit!
   Keep the device away from containers with liquids. Should any liquid get into the unit, this could lead to its destruction or fire. Be sure not to let any metal objects into the unit.

Operating Elements

1. 1/4 jack plug
2. LED display
3. POWER – on/off switch
4. ID – channel switch
5. USB port

Product Usage Instructions

1. To avoid interference, do not operate the device near other wireless devices such as WiFi routers.
2. Fully charge the batteries in the transmitter (black) and receiver (white) using the Duo-pin USB charging cable before initial use. The LEDs indicate the charging progress when the device is switched off.
3. To maintain battery capacity, recharge the batteries every 3 months, even when not in use. If a low battery is displayed, there will be approximately 10 minutes of battery life remaining before charging is required.
4. To switch on the transmitter and receiver, press and hold their power switches (POWER).
5. Fold the plug into a suitable position for the desired use and plug the transmitter into the 1/4 jack socket of the instrument from which the signal will be transmitted.
6. Plug the receiver into the 1/4 jack input of an amplifier, mixer, or effects device. Ensure that the distance between the transmitter and receiver does not exceed 35 meters. If interference occurs, reduce the distance.
7. When using multiple radio sets within the transmission range, each set must work on a different radio channel. However, one transmitter’s signal can be received by several receivers to generate a stereo sound image.

Using the product

1. To avoid interference, do not operate the device near other wireless devices, such as WiFi routers or the like.
2. Fully charge the batteries in transmitter (black) and receiver (white) prior to initial use using the Duo-pin USB charging cable. When the device is switched off, the LEDs indicate the loading progress. When the device is switched on, the LEDs light up to indicate the charging process. To maintain the charge capacity, the batteries must be recharged every 3 months even when not in use. If a low battery is displayed, there will be approximately 10 minutes left to run. At the latest then the built-in battery must be charged.
3. To switch on transmitter and receiver, press and hold their on / off switches (POWER).
4. Each LED on the devices stands for one of the 4 transmission channels. Select the same transmission channel on the transmitter and receiver by pressing the ID channel selection button. When the channel LED is solid, that channel is ready for use. If the channel LED flashes, radio signals are already being de-tected on this frequency and radio interference is therefore to be expected. To establish the radio connection (pairing), press and hold the ID buttons of both devices for 5 – 7 seconds. When the channel LEDs of both devices stop flashing, the radio set is ready for use.
5. Fold the plug into a suitable position for the desired use. Plug the transmitter into the 1/4″ jack socket of the instrument whose signal is to be transmitted.
6. Plug the receiver into the 1/4″ jack input of an amplifier, mixer or effects device. The distance between transmitter and receiver must not exceed 35 m. If the radio transmission proves to be susceptible to interference, reduce the distance.
7. When using several radio sets (max. 4) within the transmission range, each set must work on a different radio channel. However, the transmission signal from one transmitter can also be received by several receivers. For example, two amplifiers can be fed by one transmitter at the same time to generate a stereo sound image.
8. To switch off transmitter and receiver, press and hold their ON / OFF switches (POWER). The receiver switches itself off automatically if it has not received a signal from the transmitter for 30 minutes.
