the microphone name (“Masingo”) under your smart device’s Bluetooth connection
settings and connect as you would to any Bluetooth device. The microphone will
say “Bluetooth connected” when a connection is successful.
Caution: Do not turn your smart device volume to maximum or damage to
speakers may occur. Place your device volume at midrange and then adjust the
volume using the Music Volume control (5) on the microphone. You may however
use either the controls on your device or the controls on the microphone to
play, pause, or switch between tracks.
How to use PA mode
When there is no music playing, this microphone will automatically start in PA
Mode. Simply speak into the microphone, ensuring that the Mic Volume (1) is

Using the ‘BAIAI LED’ App
What is the ‘BAIAI LED’ app?
The BAIAI LED app is the Masingo-approved app for getting the most out of your
microphone’s LED board. Through the BAIAI LED app, you can choose from an
entire library of LED designs, create custom designs, write custom messages,
and display sound equalizer bars.
How to download the BAIAI LED app

app like you would any app for that device. If you do not have access to the
app store, go to http://app.xiaobaizhuli.com/LED/ledappdownload.html to
download the app. You may need to adjust your phone’s settings to allow for
the installation of apps outside of the marketplace. How to connect the BAIAI
LED app to my H11 microphone Open the BAIAI LED app. Click the settings (gear)
icon in the top right of the screen. Under “Settings,” click “Device

music Bluetooth connection. The H11 contains two dedicated Bluetooth chips—one
for music and one for LEDs. Both music and the LED board need to be connected
separately as instructed above.

Maintenance
How to clean
Turn the microphone and microphones off. Unplug the microphone’s power cord
and disconnect any AUX, MicroSD, or USB plug-ins. Gently wipe the outside of
the microphone using a clean, dry cloth. Keep all vents, buttons, and openings
free of lint and dirt. Do not immerse the microphone in water and do not use
any harsh cleaners.
How to store
Charge the microphone so it is ready for the next use. Make sure that the
microphone is clean and dry. Bind the power cord and AUX cable individually
and gently with electrician-approved fasteners. (Note: Do not wrap or fold
against the natural bend of the cords or cable. Do not wrap the cord around
the microphone). Store the microphone in a cool, dry place away from damaging
elements. For best results, clean and store the microphone after each use.
When Things Go Flat Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| The microphone is not turning on. | The battery is depleted. Be sure to charge |
the microphone after each use.
The USB or MicroSD mode is
not working.| Ensure that the Power button on the microphone has been turned
on and that the Music Volume (5) is turned up. Check the instructions in the
“Playback and Music” section above to ensure that your preferred mode is
connected properly (remember especially that you may need to press the Mode
button(8) again to cycle through the correct mode). Ensure there are audio
files stored on your MicroSD chip or USB drive.
The microphone is not playing the microphone vocals.| Ensure that the Power
button on the microphone has been turned on and that the Microphone Volume (1)
is turned up. If there is still no audio output from the microphone, please
charge the microphone.
The Bluetooth mode is not working.| Ensure that the Power button on the
microphone has been turned on and that the Music Volume (5) is turned up.
Check the instructions in the “Playback and Music” section above to ensure
that your preferred mode is connected properly (remember especially that you
may need to press the Mode button (8) again to cycle through the correct
mode). Ensure you have connected your device to “Masingo” NOT “Masingo LED.”
“Masingo LED” is only for the LED function board. If there is still no audio
output, please charge the microphone.
The AUX mode is not working.| Ensure that the Power button on the microphone
has been turned on and that the Music Volume (5) is turned up. Check the
instructions in the “Playback and Music” section above to ensure that your
preferred mode is connected properly (remember especially that you may need to
press the Mode button (8) again to cycle through the correct mode). Check the
AUX cable for damage, folds or bends. If any are found, try a different AUX
cable. If there is still no audio output, please charge the microphone.
The microphone is making feedback or hissing sound.| Ensure that you are
holding the microphone by its handle and that your hand is not covering the
speaker
output. Covering the speaker output (or holding the microphone by the speaker)
may cause feedback or
hissing. If the above is not the source of the problem, try reducing the Music
Volume (5) or the Mic Volume (1) slightly until the hissing/feedback ceases.
The next song is not playing.| Your Bluetooth or AUX device is set to “Play
Once” rather than “Play All.” Correct the appropriate setting in your chosen
media player.
The microphone powers on and
then shuts down.| Battery is low. Please charge the microphone or replace the
battery if needed.
No sound is playing from the speaker.| Ensure the microphone is charged and
powered on. Please also ensure that the Music (5) and Microphone (1) vol- ume
are both set to an audible level.
The button or knob on the microphone is not working properly.| Power off the
microphone and turn it back on.
App Troubleshooting
Cannot locate “Masingo LED” under the device
connections in the BAIAI LED app.| Ensure that your smart device has Bluetooth
enabled. If this does not solve the problem, power your H11 microphone off and
then on again.
---|---
After connecting “Masingo LED” to Bluetooth in the
BAIAI LED app, I cannot play music.| The BAIAI LED app Bluetooth connection is
separate from the Bluetooth
playback mode. Please connect your music according to the instructions in
the “How to connect via Bluetooth” section above. The BAIAI LED app cannot
play music at this time.
I cannot edit my custom text message.| Your custom text message will be saved
after pressing “OK.” You cannot edit the text itself after pressing “OK.” The
color can be edited by selecting your previous message from the list of custom
messages and sliding the color bar to your desired color.
I cannot edit my custom design.| Press your custom design in the DIY library
until an edit icon appears. Then select the edit icon.
I cannot play music in the
“Music” section of the BAIAI LED app.| The BAIAI LED app’s music player cannot
be used to play music at this time.
Currently, only a single sample track will play. The music function on the
Bail I LED app is ONLY for setting up the equalizer bars (using the
microphone icon in the top right corner). To play music with your H11
microphone, connect via
AUX, USB, MicroSD, or Bluetooth functionality as instructed in the “Playback
and Music” section.
If any of these issues persist, or if any part of the microphone becomes damaged, discontinue use and consult a licensed electrician for repair. Do not attempt to modify or repair the microphone yourself. You can also contact our customer service department (see next page).
Don’t end things on a bad note.
We’re here for you.
If you encounter any issues with your microphone—or if you have any questions
or comments—please feel free to contact us. Have your warranty information on
hand for faster service.
