Battery Care and Charging
For best performance, use only the included Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) size
AA rechargeable transmitter batteries. Never use disposable (alkaline) batteries
in combination with the charging system.
Charge the transmitter and receiver after each day of use. The transmitters
will automatically stop transmitting when placed in the charging cradle. The
charging indicator lights [26] will show charging progress: red during charging
and green when complete.
The 500IR will operate on either an AC supply via the charging power adapter
or on the internal 12-volt rechargeable battery pack. It is possible to replace the
receiver battery. To do so, please contact your local customer service representa-
tive.
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.
