GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The VP18R is designed for "wide angle" sound coverage. The natural tone quality of the cone type

speaker used in this unit is ideal for indoor applications. The VP18R will work fine outdoors, however,

the audience coverage will be more limited than indoors.

The SIDEKICK is supplied with a horn type loudspeaker which is much louder and more penetrating

than the speaker in the VP18R. This makes it better suited for outdoor use, or for use in noisy

environments where the sound system must overcome significant background noise or project sound

over long distances.

Both models come with a hand-held dynamic cardioid microphone, a 16-foot coiled microphone cord,

carrying strap and charger. There is an optional "headset" microphone available which connects

directly into either unit via the "mini" jack. These units will also operate with a number of microphones

offered by other manufacturers.

RECHARGING

It is very important to charge the system for 12 to 15 hours before you begin your presentation,

especially if the unit has been stored for several weeks or more.

To charge your unit, insert the plug on the CH-40 charger fully into the jack on the control panel and

plug the charger into an 110V AC wall outlet. Make sure the charger is not plugged into an outlet that

can be accidentally turned off by a switch.

The green LED next to the jack on the panel will stay lit as long as the charger is connected to the unit

and to an AC power source. The charging light does not indicate whether or not the batteries are fully

charged, it simply indicates that current is flowing through the charging circuit.

The unit requires two hours of charging or more for each hour of use. In most applications an

overnight charge will provide a full day of operation. Continuous charging will not harm the battery

pack, although it is not necessary.

IMPORTANT

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTION

CAN CAUSE PREMATURE BATTERY FAILURE.

1. The nicad batteries in this unit should never be completely discharged or run down. Keeping the

batteries fully charged when not in use is the best way to insure that the batteries will not fail in use

or be permanently damaged.

2. For maximum battery life, the batteries in this unit should be charged before each use. Since the

batteries self discharge during storage, always recharge the batteries before use if the unit has been

stored for more than a month without being charged.

This type of battery failure is not covered by the warranty and will not occur if these simple precautions

are followed.
