Maintenance-free Lead Acid battery

Guidelines for maintenance-free Batteries:

1. Battery should operate at temperatures between 15°C ~ 50°C. To ensure a longer life span, it

should be kept between 5°C ~ 35°C. For optimum result, 20°C ~ 25°C will be ideal. When

temperature falls 15 degrees below zero, battery will undergo some changes in its chemical

contents and therefore cannot be recharged. Operating the battery at higher temperature will

result in higher capacity but shorter lifespan, whereas lower temperatures operation has a

longer lifespan but less capacity.

2. If the battery is not recharged 72 hrs after it is completely used, it will be permanently damaged.

3. When the battery is being charged, the internal gases will be electrolyzed into water at the

negative charge, maintaining the battery’s storage abilities with no water added. However,

erosion at the charged ends of the battery will cause poor performance.

4. The battery’s cycle lifespan ( no. of charge and discharge cycle ) is determined by the degree at

which power is dissipated., especially the degree of discharged each time it is used and the

recovery charging method. For normal use, the battery can be used for longer hours when less

power is dissipated each time and vice versa. At 25°C, maintenance-free batteries could be

charged 150 ~ 200 times at 100% discharge each time.

5. Decrease in capacity, internal short circuit, deformation in appearance, erosion of charged ends

and decrease in open circuit voltage are symbols indicating battery is approaching the end of its

life cycle.

6. When two batteries are used in parallel connection, the resistance of the cables should be kept

equal.

Properties of the Lead Acid Battery:

1. Has no memory effect. Can be charged at anytime, even when the recharge indication light is

not on.

2 .Performance and efficiency are affected by changes in the environment, especially temperature

and humidity. (Best operated between 20°C ~ 25°C)

3. Battery discharge naturally according to a certain pattern even not in use. For best performance

and a prolonged lifespan, it should be recharged every month even when not in use.

4. Under normal circumstances, battery could last for about a year.

5. When the battery’s life expires, possible indicators include internal short-circuit, decrease in

capacity, deformation in appearance, erosion of charged ends and decrease in operating

voltage.

User’s Precautions:

1. For first-time use, charge the battery for 10 hrs until it is fully charged.

2. To maintain performance and lifespan, if product has not been used for 3 months after the

initial shipment, please fully charge the battery.

3. Before each use, it’s advisable to charge the battery to its full capacity.

4. The average lifespan of the battery is one year. The user is advised to change the battery after

one year of use.

5. The current consumption is in direct ratio with load current. The more current consumption, the

less the operation time.

6. SMART and FOCUS operate on one 12V/2.9AH battery. ADVENTURE, CHALLENGER, and

VICTORY operate on two 12V/5AH batteries.

Operation of wireless microphones

Chiayo Transmitters and Receivers have factory preset to allow immediate use after switchon.

However, please note that the transmitter Sensitivity function is dependent on application such as close proximity singing or tripod mouth speech. To avoid over-modulation and distortion, please check whether the preset sensitivity level is suitable for your particular application. For close proximity singing purposes, please select the lowest sensitivity level whereas for tripod mount speech purposes, please select a higher sensitivity level.

If you have made changes to the setting, after making proper selection on Transmitter and

Receiver settings the system is ready for operation. However, both antennas of the receiver must be installed to assure a good reception.

Caution and tips on how to obtain the best results.

1. Before making any channel change on transmitters, please switch off the power supply.

The

synthesized program works in such a way that a change of channel will only take place after

a power off and on action. Otherwise, the previously selected frequency will stay unchanged.

2.After making a channel change, please make sure that the corresponding change is made

on the matching receiver as well. To be exact, changes MUST be made at both the

transmitter and receiver.

3.The audio cable of VHF transmitters also serve as antenna. The length of the cable is cut

according to the specific frequency range. Do not alter the length or mix around the

cable of different transmitters. The use of wrong audio cable will affect the antenna

efficiency of the transmitter!

4.Position the receiver such that it has the least possible obstructions between it and the

transmitter. Line of sight is best !

5.The transmitter and the receiver should be as close as possible but not less than 1m.

6.A receiver cannot receive signals from two or more transmitters simultaneously.

7.Turn the transmitter off when it is not in use. Remove the batteries if it is not to be

used for a period of time.

Operating procedures

After unpacking the unit for the first time, please charge the unit for about 4-5 hours before any operation. This is absolutely necessary as the built-in rechargeable battery might have been discharged naturally due to long shipment and storage time, even though it has been fully charged in the factory prior to shipment.

To operate this portable sound unit, switch on the main POWER switch, the GREEN LED above it will glow. However, if the RED LED also glows at the same time, it means the battery is getting weak and a recharge of the battery is necessary.

The main POWER switch does NOT switch on the Wireless receiver module and Tape/CD

Player/Digital Recorder as each of them has dedicated Power / Volume control switch on its panel. To operate each of them, you must switch them on accordingly.

Operating the dynamic wired microphone

To use a cable microphone, simply plug it into any MIC IN socket. The mic sockett accepts both phone and Cannon jack. Rotate the dedicated volume control knob and master volume control, amplified sound could be heard from the speaker when voice is spoken into the cable microphone.

When a full range high fidelity sound is emphasized, the mode selector (3) should be put to

MUSIC. For vocal frequencies where better clarity and projection is emphasized, put the mode selector to SPEECH and this will produce more mid-range frequency.

Operating the Wireless Microphone System

To operate the wireless system, just switch on the power/volume control on the module panel and the matching transmitter. Please have the channel setting on both the transmitter and receiver module be the same before operation. Please as well make sure that master volume control is set to minimum level before turning the unit on, especially working on a wireless version! Set the Master volume control to the mid position.
