Product Compatibility
The M319 Beltpack Transmitter (and Q319 Microphone) are compatible with the PA919SD, PA919, PA919PS PAs. They are not compatible with the PA916 series PAs or the M-316 or Q-316 microphones.
Warranty Registration
The warranty for the M319 specifically covers use in schools, churches, and business & industry applications, unlike consumer electronic products. This is critical to help avoid lost class time due to “down” equipment and helps stretch budgets.
Califone warrants the M319 to be free from defective material and workmanship for one year from the purchase date. Our “Project Intercept” Customer Satisfaction program will replace defective parts and repair malfunctioning products under this warranty when the defect occurs under normal use, provided the unit is returned to our factory via prepaid transportation only after the factory issues an RA (Return Authorization) number which must be clearly written on the outside of the shipping box.
All Damage Claims Must Be Made With The Freight Carrier
Notify the freight carrier immediately if you observe any damage the shipping carton or product. Repack the unit in the carton and await inspection by the carrier’s claim agent. Notify your dealer of the pending freight claim.
Returning your unit for service or repairs
Should your unit require service, contact your dealer or our Customer Service Department directly via email (warranty@califone.com), or by phone at 800-722-0500 / 818-407-2400 to first obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number before sending it back to Califone.
Damage Requiring Service
The M319 should be serviced by qualifed service personnel when:
- Objects have fallen on it or liquid has been spilled onto it
- It has been exposed to rain
- It does not appear to be operating normally or exhibits a marked change in performance
- It has been dropped or the enclosure damaged
All shipments to Califone must include the RA number clearly marked on the exterior of the shipping carton and must shipped prepaid. C.O.D. shipments will be refused and returned at your cost.
Servicing
The user should not attempt to service the M319 beyond that described in these operating instructions.
Operating Instructions
The microphone frequency must first be set to the same frequency as the receiving PA.
- Open th battery cover and insert a 9V battery (not included) into battery compartment. Close the battery cover.
- Adjust the volume knob to minimum.
- Connect one of the Califone microphones (shown on pages 3 & 4) to the 3.5mm mic input jack. The M319 can accept dynamic or electret microphones.
- Turn on the M319 power switch. The LCD will display the current transmit channel.
- To change the transmit channel:
- Use a pen to hold the channel down button for about 3 seconds.
- The transmit channel will begin to flash on the LCD.
- Release the down button.
- Then use the up/down buttons to change to the desired transmit channel.
- After about 3 seconds the transmit channel will be set and the channel on the LCD display will be solid.
- Make sure the transmit channel is not being used by any other transmitters in the area or there could be audible interference. If there is any interference or distortion, try using a different channel.*
- Set the Califone receiver to the same channel as the transmitter.
- Turn on the receiver and first adjust its volume level.
- Then turn the M319 on and adjust its volume level to the desired level.
- Since the PA919SD and PA919 each have two built-in wireless receivers, make sure the corresponding M319 (or Q319) transmitters are set to different frequencies (one for each channel).
Power Adjustment (Optional)
- The power output of the M319 can be adjusted between low (5mW) and high (10mW) power settings, depending on the level of interference or the range of required transmission (low power up to 40’/high power up to 200’). When there may be other PA products used in neighboring or adjoining rooms, using the low setting will reduce the occurrence of experiencing any interference.
- With the power off, simply change the transmit power by moving the switch to the desired setting.
