3. Plug the USB receiver into the computer. The receiver light will remain blue after it pairs with the transmitter. (If the blue light turns off, means not connected, please reset the mic. See P16 to P17.) The receiver will automatically install the drivers needed. Select this mic, the USB PnP Audio Device as the default recording device and you are good to go.
   Note: Even if the installation is successful, there will be no windows or messages popping up.

Note:
The transmitter is only compatible with the included headset and lavalier, and cannot be connected to other microphones (even with adapters).

TIPS FOR WEARING

1. The transmitter and receiver need to be in a direct line of ‘sight’ for them to work. Wireless mic easily gets interference and blocked by objects like a person walking in front of its antenna, make sure to put its receiver as high as possible and keep away from any large piece of metal object.

2. The lapel mic is a directional and cardioid pickup pattern. please clip the mic under your chin as close as possible and have the mic head pointed at your mouth.
   

3. Wear the headset microphone correctly. (The black cushion is only for fixing position, not earphones).

WARNING OF LOW BATTERY POWER

1. The battery symbol flashes 3 seconds warning low-battery because the warning time is too short to notice, pls change new fresh batteries in advance when you take part in the important performance.
   

2. Operation time is limited relative to battery life; To save power, please turn off the transmitter after use and take the batteries out in time. Not used for a long time will cause battery leaked acid, destroyed microphone equipment

3. Sometimes a battery gets poor contact with the connector inside the transmitter/ receiver and results in the same symptoms just like if it was drained.

4. Dying batteries will often register a lower voltage. Some batteries will show nearly full voltage until just before they die. Please replace the new fresh battery in time when low voltage or the mic cut in and out sometime.

5. Higher coverage will likely result in the quicker battery draining. Please prepare a replacement battery in case the microphone set runs out of charge.
