9Expedition ExpressThe Expedition Escape has an internal, rechargeable battery capable of 20 hours of continuous audio on a full charge. Even though the system may have some charge when first taken out of the box, we recommend fully charging your Expedition Escape before first using the system. To charge the battery for the first time:• Set the power switch to the “OFF”position.• Connect the Expedition Escape to anAC power outlet using the includedpower adapter.• Keep the system plugged in untilthe Battery indicator changes togreen, indicating the battery is fullycharged.The Expedition Escape utilizes a sealed lead-acid gel cell battery. When not in use, the battery will slowly self-discharge. If you are planning not to use the Expedition Escape for a long period of time, it is advised to fully charge the unit before storing. It is also important to charge the unit every six months when not used. This will ensure a healthy battery and extend its life. If the battery is left with a very low charge for an extended period of time, it is possible to recharge the battery to working condition, but the charge time can take over 24 hours. If you find that the operation time of the Expedition Escape becomes noticeably decreased, even after fully charging, the battery should be replaced. Contact Samson customer service or your local distributor for a replacement battery. Charging the Battery
10The Expedition Escape provides three different placement options for your specific situation. For maximum sound coverage the Expedition Escape can be used with a standard 13⁄8” speaker stand. The speaker should be raised above the heads of the listening audience. Take care when placing the speaker on a stand, to ensure that it is on a level, steady surface and will not tip over. When using the speaker on the floor, or when the speaker is below the listener, the Expedition Escape features a monitor angle position to project the sound up, towards the audience. For smaller settings, the speaker can be placed vertically on a table or desk.Take care when placing the Expedition Escape in direct sunlight for long periods of time, as this may discolor or damage the unit. Do not place the speaker on wet surfaces, as it can cause malfunction. If you notice condensation on the unit, dry the speaker before using or storing. Speaker PlacementFeedback is the annoying howling and squealing that can heard when the microphone picks up sound from the speaker. The sound is then re-amplified back through the speaker again, creating a feedback loop. Follow these steps to minimize the likelihood of feedback:•Avoid pointing the microphone directly at the speaker. In general it isrecommended that the microphone be positioned behind the speakerenclosure. This uses the directional characteristics of the speaker andmicrophone to your advantage.•Keep the microphone as far from the speaker as possible. This will helpachieve isolation between the speaker and the microphone, and allow youto increase the output of the Expedition Escape.•Position the microphone as close to the sound source as possible. Thiswill enable the microphone to pick up more direct sound, and allow you toreduce the microphone input gain control.•Reduce the overall level of the speaker.Avoiding Feedback
