  1. Proper Use and Care of Wireless Microphones Media Technology Resources

  2. Introduction • All of our large lecture rooms have wireless microphone systems • Proper use and care will help insure that they work properly when you need them

  3. Agenda • How to install the batteries • How to use the microphone • Limitations of the microphone • How to store the microphone when finished

  4. What is the Wireless Microphone? • The wireless microphone consists of two parts • First the transmitter and microphone is the part you wear • Secondly the receiver, which is in the console and attached to the amplifier

  5. What type of Battery? • All of our Nady Microphones use a 9 volt battery • Users are responsible for supplying their own battery • 9 volt batteries may be purchased from MTR for $2.00 each • 3-4 batteries should last the term depending on how many classes you use the microphone for.

  6. How to Install the Battery • The battery compartment is at the front bottom of the transmitter. • Carefully slide the cover down a bit, then flip it open

  7. How to Install the Battery • Check to see that the positive and negative terminals align properly. • This is important or it WILL damage the transmitter • Gently insert the battery and close the cover

  8. Turning ON the Microphone • Turn Input Level down before turning ON. • All our transmitters have a 3 position switch • The switch needs to be ON for the mic to work • The Red Battery Light will Flash for a second to show it is working • The Standby Position is like a MUTE position

  9. Battery Light Indicator • The battery light should flash for a second when you turn the microphone ON • If it doesn’t flash or comes on solid red then the battery may be dead or low.

  10. Volume Control (Input Level) • Turn Input Level (volume) down before turning On • Adjust the input level as necessary while testing. • Setting the level too high, may result in feed back • If the audio is noisy with static clicks and pops, you may need a new battery

  11. Wearing the Microphone • The transmitter may clip to your belt or waist band of your pants or you may put it in your pocket. (No keys or coins in pockets.) • Clip the microphone to your shirt around the middle of your chest. (Not to the left or right) • Do not clip it on or near a brooch, tie clip or pens in your shirt pocket

  12. Limitations of using the Microphone • The microphone can only pick up what it hears: if you have a bad case of laryngitis it will not help. • Project your voice as if speaking to the first five or six rows of students. • If you clip the mic to one side of your shirt, but then turn your head away from the mic while you write on the board, it will not work. • Because of the location of the speakers in some rooms (Example STM125) feed back may be a problem if the volume is turned up too loud.

  13. When Finished • Shut off the microphone and remove the battery • Carefully wind up the microphone cable and put the microphone back in the console • Take your battery with you, or someone else will use it • Store your battery carefully. If the terminals touch coins, keys or other metal it may drain the battery.

  14. Please Do !!! Before and after you start • Please check that there are no knots in the microphone wire. • Turn on the Main Power Switch on the console. (The receiver and/or amplifier may be inside the console connected to the Main Power Switch.) When finished. • Please wrap the cord gently and place it under the microphone(This way there is no tension or stress on the wire where it is connect to the transmitter) • Let us know if there are any problems with the microphone.

  15. Please Do Not…. • Please Do Not wrap the microphone cable around the transmitter! This will break the wires in the cable. • Do Not clip the microphone to the wires! • Do Not allow the wire to become tied in a knot. • Do Not close the console door on the wire.

  16. Summary • Users supply their own battery (may be purchased from MTR for $2.00) • Make sure the battery is inserted properly or it will damage the microphone • Be gentle with the microphone cable as the wires are thin and delicate
