1. Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (22) and insert a fresh 9V BATTERY

(23), observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment.

2. The WLT is provided with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (24) for connecting the

microphone. Plug in either the LAVALIER/LAPEL (25) or the HEADWORN MICRO-

PHONE (26), as supplied. To secure the connection, turn the metal slip ring on the

plug clockwise to thread it on to the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. Slip the

transmitter into a pocket or clip on to your clothes. To use the lavalier mic, attach it

at chest level. Do not place too close to the mouth – a distance of about six inches

usually works best. To use the headworn mic, place it on the head and adjust the mic

boom so that the mic is about one inch to the side of the front of the mouth.

(Note:

The lavalier or headworn mic wire is also the transmit antenna, and rolling up

or shortening the wire may reduce the effective operating range. Extend the

wire fully during use, and keep it as straight as possible.)

3. Turn on the WLT by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (27) to the STANDBY

position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both

on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (28) will give a single quick ﬂash, indicating us-

able battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will not go

on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be replaced

with a fresh one.

4. The microphone is now ready to use. Most or all of the RF DISPLAY LEDs (4) on

the Encore Duet receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the

transmitter. When ready to speak, slide the transmitter switch to the ON position

and adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone

Connection section of the above Encore Duet receiver instructions. The AF LEVEL LED

DISPLAY (5) on the Encore Duet receiver will light up to 5 LEDs (4 green and 1 red)

for all input signals. Occasional ﬂickering on and off during use of the top red LED

indicator in this display is normal, however if the red LED stays on continuously, it

means the signal is too loud and there is the possibility of overload distortion.

Re-position the microphone farther from the source or adjust the AUDIO INPUT

LEVEL CONTROL (29) until the red LED indicator ﬂickers only on the loudest inputs.

(Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker

placement so that acoustic feedback (howling and screeching) will be avoided.

Please also observe the pickup patterns of the microphone selected: omnidi-

rectional mics pick up sound equally from all directions and are prone to feed-

back if not used carefully. Unidirectional mics are more resistant to feedback,

but pick up sound sources best that are directly in front of the mic. Also, mics

that are farther from the sound source, such as lavaliers, require more acous-

tic gain and thus are also more prone to feedback than close-source mics such

as handheld or headworn mics that are used close to the mouth.)

(Note: Microphone elements can easily be destroyed by the buildup of salts

and minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a wind-

screen on the mic element at all times to protect it.)
