Battery Replacement
Remove the rear housing by removing the four screws. Carefully lift off the rear housing. Unsnap the battery from the battery clips located on the small vertical pc board and install a new battery. Note that the wires from the coil cord should lay on top of the battery after it is installed. Carefully replace the rear housing ensuring the gain control knob passes through the hole in the housing and fasten with the four screws previously removed. Be careful not to overtighten the four screws.
Gain Adjustments
For best noise cancelling operation, hold the microphone close to your mouth and set the mic gain as low as possible. On initial setup, it is good practice to turn gain completely down. After turning on the transmitter, slowly turn up the gain to desired modulation level.
