6. HOW TO USE
Step 1. Using the volume control, adjust the volume
to an appropriate level that does not
generate feedback when holding down the
talk switch.
Howling is more likely to occur when using
the megaphone indoors and other spaces
with significant echo. Particularly when the
batteries are new, it may be impossible to
adjust the volume to maximum without
causing howling. In such cases, set the
volume to about mid-level.
Step 2. Speak into the mouthpiece at a distance of
about 1 cm.
Notes
• Speaking too far from the mouthpiece or in
too soft voice may result in insufficient
volume.
• Moisture droplets collecting in the hole on
the mouthpiece may cause noticeably
insufficient volume. Wipe the droplets away
with a cloth or other material and allow the
area to dry sufficiently before resuming
use.

There is no problem in general use. But if high
impact is applied to the battery cover, it may open,
causing the battery case to drop.
When moving around hard with the megaphone in
hand, be sure to install the supplied handle cap as
shown below.
