Wear the Lavalier Microphone |
|
Clip the microphone onto your clothes. For optimal voice amplification, clip the microphone about 6” below the chin. An easy way to determine the distance is to spread your hand with your thumb and pinkie finger extended. With your thumb placed at your chin, your pinkie finger pointing down will determine the spot to clip the microphone. If you wear a button up shirt, the microphone should be clipped between the first and second button. Always make sure the microphone is pointing upwards. The clip can be turned and adjusted according to the style of clothing you are wearing. The body pack can be clipped on the waistband or placed in a pocket. |

Operation |
|
Turn on the microphone by flipping the small switch on top of the body pack to ON. After a few seconds the light next to the switch should turn green. If the light stays red, the battery is no good and needs to be switched out for a new one.
Locate the volume knob labeled Wireless on the microphone panel and turn up. Depending upon the room the panel could either be located on the back wall of the stage, side of the podium, or workbench. *Crackling and/or weak audio can result from a low battery life. Replacing the battery can resolve this issue.

Changing the Battery |
|
Turn the body pack upside down. Press thumb on the latch that says open. Remove battery and replace with a fresh 9V battery. Make sure the battery is placed in correctly. |
