Understanding Your Microphone8Understanding Your MicrophoneAbout This ManualThe screen displays used in this manual are representations of what might appear when you use your microphone. Since what you see depends on the frequencies for your area and the settings you select, you might notice some differences between what is in this manual and what appears on your microphone's display. Buttons you press appear in bold type and text that appears on the display appears in italic type.How The Microphone’s Controls Appear in This ManualTo help navigate the microphone's menus, the steps shown in this manual describe the displays you see and the keys you press or control you operate to get a desired result.The first thing you will need to do is charge the microphone’s battery. See “Charging the Battery” on Page 9 if you need any help doing this.Understanding Your MicrophoneWHAMx4 Paper OMNEW.fm Page 8 Thursday, January 27, 2005 2:34 PM
Setting Up the Microphone 9Setting Up the MicrophoneCharging the BatteryNeed this information.Engine Noise SuppressionInterference from the noise generated by the electrical systems of engines is sometimes a problem with microphones. Your microphone has been designed to be essentially impervious to ignition noise and alternator noise. However, in some installations it may be necessary to take measures to further reduce the effect of noise interference.In severe cases of noise interference, it may be nec-essary to install a noise suppression kit. Contact the dealer where you purchased the microphone for more information.Setting Up The MicrophoneWHAMx4 Paper OMNEW.fm Page 9 Thursday, January 27, 2005 2:34 PM
