7. WHEN OPERATING ON RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
CAUTION
Notes
• When operating on rechargeable batteries, the optional BC-5000 Battery Charger is required.
• For rechargeable batteries, be sure to use the optional WB-2000 battery. Do not use other batteries.
7.1. How to Charge
Step 1. Set the wireless microphone's power switch to the
OFF position.
Note
Be sure to turn off the microphone's power switch
when charging. Batteries cannot be correctly
charged if the power switch is ON.
Step 2. Place the WB-2000 rechargeable battery in the
wireless microphone.
(Refer to p. 4 "Battery insertion.")
Step 3. Fully insert the wireless microphone into the
microphone receptacle of the BC-5000 Battery
Charger.
In this case, place the microphone with its power
ON/OFF switch facing the charger's front or back.
The BC-5000's charging indicator lights red and
charging begins.
Charging is completed in approximately 3 hours and
the BC-5000's full-charge indicator lights green.
(When charging the WM-5225/5265 microphone,
attach the mounting adapter supplied with the
charger.)
Notes
• If the red charging indicator does not light even if the wireless microphone has been inserted into
the charger, check to see if the microphone has been correctly inserted.
• The wireless microphone becomes warm after charging completion, however this is not a failure.
Note: For more information, please read the instruction manual enclosed with the BC-5000 Battery Charger.
7.2. Charging Timing
Please charge the equipment immediately when green LED light is off
and red light is on during use.
When the battery alarm lamp on the receiver is on, the battery level of
the microphone is low as well.
The microphone will not be able to operate within a few minutes.
Even though the battery remains enough, both green and red lights
might be on at the same time.
[Guidelines on the rechargeable battery operation time]
Continuous usage time: Approx. 13 hours
Notes
• When using the WB-2000 rechargeable battery for the first time or when using it after it has been stored for
a long period of time, be sure to charge it before use.
• The WB-2000 battery is designed to cycle through about 500 charges and discharges. When the
microphone operation interval becomes extremely short after prolonged repeated use, change the battery
with a new one.
When charging, never insert rechargeable batteries other than the
specified WB-2000 battery in the wireless microphone (transmitter).
Charging any other than the WB-2000 battery may result in fire or
personal injury due to battery rupture.
