3 Features
Model TM-45 is a powerful 45 W mega phone
with a siren to be switched on . It can be oper-
ated with batteries or via an external 12 V power
supply .
The megaphone is supplied with a hand-
held microphone . The adjustable AUX input also
allows connection of an audio unit, e . g . radio
recorder, CD / MP3 player, etc .
The megaphone can be placed as desired
or mounted onto a stand via the M8 threaded
hole [(1) in fig . 1] .
4 Power Supply of the
Megaphone
Power can either be supplied via batteries or an
external 12 V power supply . When an external
power supply is connected, the inserted batteries
are switched off .
During operation, the LED indicator
"BATTERY" (3) shows the battery status:
LED is green:
sufficient power
LED is red:
low power (e . g . when the batteries are
almost discharged)
4.1 Inserting batteries
1) Firmly press down the latch (6) of the battery
compartment: The cover will open .
2) Remove the plastic container from the bat-
tery compartment and insert ten 1 .5 V bat-
teries (size D) . Observe the correct polarity
(see imprint on the container) .
3) Insert the container with the batteries into
the battery compartment and push hard
to close the cover so that the latch will be
locked .
If the megaphone is not used for a longer period
(e . g . more than a week), remove the batteries
so that the megaphone will not be damaged in
case the batteries should leak .
Never put batteries in the household
waste . Always dispose of the batteries
in accordance with local regulations .
4.2 External power supply
.
To connect an external 12 V power supply, e . g .
12 V power supply unit, 12 V battery, remove
the protection cap from the jack "DC-12V" (7),
and connect the power supply via a low-voltage
plug 5 .5 mm / 2 .1 mm (outside / inside diameter) .
The positive pole must be at the centre contact
of the plug .
A 12 V car battery whose negative pole is
connected to ground can also be used as an
external power supply . For this, connect the
adapter cable provided to the jack "DC-12V"
and to the cigarette lighter socket in the car .
For optimum electric contact, make sure that
the socket is free of cigarette ashes . If necessary,
clean the socket with a soft, dry cloth .
