Battery Care and Charging
For best performance, use only the included Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) size
AA rechargeable transmitter batteries.
in combination with the charging system.
Charge the transmitters after each day of use. The transmitters will automati-
cally stop transmitting when placed in the charging cradle. The charging indicator
lights [42, 45] will show charging progress: red during charging and green when
complete.
Useful Tips
• Adjust the boom mic headset for comfort, and ensure that the microphone
is positioned correctly.
• Wear the transmitter in the supplied belt pack. The belt pack is more secure
than the belt clip and will protect the transmitter and delicate microphone
from drop damage.
• Avoid approaching too close to the Omnipanel with the microphones turned
on – this may cause a squeal or feedback from the speaker.
• Keep the soundfield receiver away from classroom computers, which are
sometimes a source of radio interference.
• Avoid excessive amplification - soundfield FM will make speech clearly au-
dible at a comfortable listening level.
• Use the tone control on the front of the 900AU to fine-tune the speaker's
sound. Your audiologist or sound professional may assist you with this ad-
justment.
• Use only the recommended batteries for the transmitters. Use only the cor-
rect power adapter for the receiver.
• For convenience, keep the Charging Cradle HDC-702 plugged into DC OUT
on the rear panel of the 900AU receiver. This allows operation from a single
power source.
• Serial numbers are located on the bottom of the 900AU,on the back of the
7LT and the Omnipanel , on the bottom of the Transmitter Charging Cradle,
and inside the 701TS battery compartment.

Never use disposable (alkaline) batteries
Microphone care
The microphone is the most delicate component of your soundfield system.
Protect the microphone from strain and excessive force. Clean the pin of the mi-
crophone plug regularly and replace damaged or missing windscreens and pro-
tect the microphone capsule from moisture.
The Simeon 623 boom (headset) microphone has a unidirectional pick-up pat-
tern. The tip of the mic capsule must be pointed towards the corner of the mouth
for proper performance.
