BATTERY COVER REMOVED

BATTERY COMPARTMENT

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The AmpliVox Hailer has two (2) SLA (Sealed Lead Acid)

batteries located at the front behind the metal plate that

has the AmpliVox logo (Fig. 1).

To access the battery compartment, remove the eight (8)

screws and remove plate. Set aside.

You will now notice foam blocks that hold the two batter-

ies in place preventing them from bouncing around in the

compartment (Fig. 2).

Remove the foam blocks and set aside. Slowly pull out

the batteries one at a time. Because the batteries have a

wiring harness attached they will only pull out so far.

Stand batteries up as shown (Fig. 3). You will now see on

each battery there are two wires, one RED (+) and one

BLACK (-). The RED wire is connected to the battery ter-

minal that has a RED DOT. Remove both wires from each

battery.

You will notice that there is a black tube also attached to

these wires. This is a fuse holder (Fig. 4). The fuse inside

is a type 2AG Glass Body. These fuses used to be very

common in automobiles and are sold at automotive part

stores if you need to replace it. This fuse acts as a protec-

tion circuit should you attach the wires incorrectly to the

battery.

Take your new batteries and reconnect. RED wire to RED

DOT (+) on battery. BLACK wire to other terminal (-).

Once wires are firmly attached to the terminals lay the

batteries on their side and slide back into battery compart-

ment. Remember to also install the foam blocks as shown

in (Fig. 2).

Take metal plate and screw back into place using the

eight (8) screws.

Charge new batteries 24 hours before using.

IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION

All SLA batteries self-discharge at a rate of approxi-

mately 5% per month. If the capacity loss, due to self-

discharge is not compensated for by recharging, the

battery capacity may not be recoverable. The batteries

will have to be replaced. Charge batteries at least every

six (6) months, or charge after every use.

Your Hailer has a “SMART” charging circuit. Leaving

the battery charger always connected is OK. It will not

overcharge your batteries.

Only use the charger that came with the Hailer. Using

any other charger may damage batteries.

SPEAKER STAND MOUNT

Mounting a speaker onto a tripod can be useful for

concerts and presentations in which the speaker would

be better positioned off the ground. A better way for

mobile audio to be heard is if the audio is up in the air

and above the crowd, setting up your sound system or

speakers on a tripod accomplishes that task.

Your Hailer has a built-in 1 3/8" (35mm) dia. pole

mount for mounting on standard speaker tripods

(AmpliVox Model S1080 or S1090).

Troubleshooting & Servicing

Do not attempt to service or repair the device yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Do not attempt to modify the device in anyway. Doing so could invalidate your warranty.

PROBLEM & ITEMS TO CHECK

UNIT WILL NOT TURN ON

• Is unit plugged in?

• Are batteries charged?

UNIT OPERATES ON AC BUT NOT BATTERY

• Charge battery

• Replace battery

SOUND IS MUFFLED

• Tone too low

FEEDBACK: A LOUD SQUEALING, SHRILL OR HOWLING

SOUND THAT IS SELF GENERATED

• Feedback occurs when a microphone is too close to the

speaker or the microphone volume is too high, or the

microphone is pointed towards the speaker. It is also caused

by sound reflecting off hard surfaces.

• Reduce or eliminate Feedback by

- Pointing the microphone in a different direction

- Keeping the microphone BEHIND the speakers

- Turn down the volume levels

POWER IS ON, BUT NO SOUND

• Check main volume level.

• If using wireless, be sure receiver and transmitter battery is

installed and both units are turned on.

MICROPHONE SIGNAL IS WEAK

• If microphone has batteries, check batteries.

• Check cables/connectors.

WIRELESS MIC DOES NOT WORK

• Check that transmitter batteries are fully charged and ensure

transmitter is on.

• Does green “signal” LED light when transmitter is turned on?

• Are the transmitter and receiver on the same channel? (1-16)

WIRELESS MIC CUTS IN AND OUT

• Is unit visible (line of sight) from user? If not, move unit into

view when using wireless microphone.

• Does the green “signal” LED on receiver goes out when sig-

nal drops out? Check batteries in Microphone transmitter.

• Distance is not very far. On receiver, turn mute level counter

clockwise as far as it can go (minimum level).

BATTERY WILL NOT HOLD CHARGE

• Replace Main Batteries every 1-2 years if unit is not left

charging when not in use.

• A full charge is best obtained when the unit is off and

plugged into the AC outlet for several hours. After a

year or two the battery may need to be replaced. Bat-

teries are available from AmpliVox.
