Insert a fresh 9V ALKALINE BATTERY (19), observing the correct polarity as marked, and screw the cover back on to the microphone. Make sure the cover is screwed on completely. A fresh alkaline battery can last up to 16 hours in use, but in order to ensure optimum performance, it is recommended that you replace the battery after every 10 hours of use. Turn on the WHT by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (20) to the STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (21) will give a single quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED will either not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be replaced with a fresh one. To preserve battery life, turn the transmitter off when not in use. The A and/or B DIVERSITY LED INDICATORS (3) and most or all of the RF LEVEL DISPLAY LEDs (4) on the Encore II receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter.
