OPERATING THE WL-16U BODYPACK TRANSMITTER
• Insert the Lavaliere Microphone into the transmitter’s microphone jack (25)
• Press the Transmitter Switch (19) to "ON". The Indicator (20) will light for about two seconds
indicating useable battery strength for operation and then shut off.
• Space the microphone about 6-12 inches from the mouth for best sound.
• To adjust the transmitted volume level for best audio, press the Volume Lock switch (23) on the
side of the transmitter to "H or L", and then the Volume Adjusting Rotary control (22) can be
adjusted for optimum audio. If the sound is distorted, either move the mic farther from the mouth
or turn down this control (22) to lower the audio level input to the transmitter.
NOTE: If the Power Indicator (20) doesn’t light momentarily when first turning on the unit or flashes
during use, please change the batteries. If it lights all the time, please re-adjust the channel again.
When the power switch is on "ST," then the receiver will be on mute status, and the system will be
quiet and operating without sound. To avoid feedback whistling or howling, keep the mic behind the
receiver’s speaker and at least 5-10 feet away. Adjust positions and volume as needed to eliminate
feedback interference.

• Adjust the Volume Switch (2) for the level desired.
NOTE: If the LCD display doesn’t display the unit’s battery is low. Please charge first before using,
after turning the unit off with the power switch (1). The WA-1620U will automatically shut off when
power is too low for operation and must be recharged before further usage. The unit can also be
used with the AC power, and such operation will also charge the battery simultaneously while using.
If the unit is amplifying continuous high audio levels then the internal AC adapter may not provide
enough power for full operation and you’ll need to let battery charge for a while to build up a power
reserve before using again with AC.
