1. Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (22) and insert a fresh 9V BATTERY (23),
observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment.
2. The WLT is provided with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (24) for connecting the
microphone. Plug in either the LAVALIER/LAPEL (25) or the HEADWORN
MICROPHONE (26), as supplied. To secure the connection, turn the metal slip ring

the mouth. (Note: The lavalier or headworn mic wire is also the transmit antenna,
and rolling up or shortening the wire may reduce the effective operating range.
Extend the wire fully during use, and keep it as straight as possible.)
3. Turn on the WLT by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (27) to the STANDBY

usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will
not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be
replaced with a fresh one.
4. The microphone is now ready to use. Most or all of the RF DISPLAY LEDs (4) on
the Encore DUET receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the
transmitter. When ready to speak, slide the transmitter switch to the ON position

(Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and
speaker placement so that acoustic feedback (howling and screeching) will be
avoided. Please also observe the pickup patterns of the microphone selected:
omnidirectional mics pick up sound equally from all directions and are prone to
feedback if not used carefully. Unidirectional mics are more resistant to feedback,
but pick up sound sources best that are directly in front of the mic. Also, mics
that are farther from the sound source, such as lavaliers, require more acoustic
gain and thus are also more prone to feedback than close-source mics such as
handheld or headworn mics that are used close to the mouth.)
(Note: Microphone elements can easily be destroyed by the buildup of salts and
minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a windscreen on
the mic element at all times to protect it.)
