Using the Powerhorn Without the Microphone
Mounted
When using the Powerhorn for an extended time, the shoulder strap
can hold the Powerhorn and you can use the lightweight microphone
to broadcast your message.
Follow these steps to use the Powerhorn without the microphone
mounted.
1. Set SIREN on the left side of the handle to OFF .
2. Place the strap over your shoulder and adjust it as desired.
3. Place the microphone about 5 inches from your mouth and
press the TALK bar on the left side of the microphone when you
speak.
4. To speak continuously without having to press the TALK bar,
slide it in the direction of the LOCK arrow until it clicks. Slide the
bar to the opposite position to unlock it.
5. Rotate VOLUME on the right side of the microphone toward 10 to
increase, or toward 0 to decrease, the Powerhorn’s volume.
Note: If feedback occurs, move the microphone away from the front
of the speaker, decrease the volume, or adjust the
FEEDBACK
CONTROL (see “Using the Feedback Control”).
Using the Siren
To turn on the siren, set SIREN to ON . To turn it off, set SIREN to OFF .
Warning: Do not point the Powerhorn directly at someone when you
turn on the siren.
Using the Feedback Control
If you experience feedback problems while using the Powerhorn
indoors, open the battery compartment and use a small Phillips
screwdriver to rotate the
FEEDBACK CONTROL counterclockwise to
reduce feedback.
Note: Adjusting FEEDBACK CONTROL to reduce feedback also
reduces the volume. To increase the volume, rotate FEEDBACK
CONTROL clockwise until the sound is audible without feedback. If
you are unsure how to make this adjustment, take the Powerhorn to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
CARE
Keep the powerhorn dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use
and store the powerhorn only in normal temperature environments.
Handle the powerhorn carefully; do not drop it. Keep the powerhorn
away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally
to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the powerhorn’s internal components
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your
powerhorn is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
