WIRELESS
MICROPHONE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Compact and light weight, the TOA WM-370 is a
lavalier type wireless microphone for speech. It
incorporates a uni-directional electret condenser
microphone to minimize feedback, and a com-
pressor/expander system noise reduction circuit
to minimize the influence of high-frequency noise
generated from digital equipment such as
personal computers and word processors.
WM-370
FEATURES
Internal loop antenna.
Small size, light weight and high reliability.
Continuous operation for 12 hours or more on one
alkaline battery (LR6/1.5V).
Two battery indicators (green and red).
Internal I.D. signal generator for tone squelch.
Compressor/expander system noise reduction cir-
cuit.
USER PRECAUTIONS
Take care not to drop the unit on to a hard floor.
Do not flip nor blow into the microphone head.
Avoid placing the unit in areas of extremely high
humidity and temperature.
Never open the unit nor touch its internal compo-
nents.
Clean the unit's exterior periodically with a soft dry
cloth. If it gets very dirty, wipe first with a soft damp
cloth lightly soaked in a neutral detergent, and then
dry with a soft cloth.
Never use thinner, benzine, or other solvents, which
may damage plastic part of the unit.
Remove the battery if the unit is to be stored for two
weeks or more.
MICROPHONE GAIN CONTROL
Remove a battery to expose the control. Use a
Philips screwdriver to adjust it.
The sensitivity
increases as the control is rotated clockwise, and
decreases as rotated counterclockwise.
leave the control intact.

TIPS FOR CONVENIENT USE
1. To avoid feedback, use the microphone with your
mouth put as close to the microphone top as
possible.
Microphone head
2. Adjust the tuner volume control to an appropriate
volume level that prevents feedback. The system is
prone to feedback if the microphone comes too
close to the speaker. It is suggested that tests be
performed preliminarily of feedback points in loca-
tions where the microphone is to be actually used.
3. To prevent radio interference or malfunction of the
tuner, always use the microphone at least 3m (10
feet) away from a receiving antenna.
4. When using multiple microphones simultaneously,
separate them at least 60cm (2 feet ) from each
other to prevent noise or break in sound, which
may result from mutual microphone interference.
5. Walls, floors, and ceilings block the radio wave's
straight-line travel, and frequently create null spots
that can cause temporary loss of signal reception
even within the practical transmission distance
threshold. In such cases, relocate a receiving
antenna or change microphone locations. (To
effectively reduce the null spots, use the diversity
tuner instead of non-diversity tuners.)

6. Human bodies absorb radio signals, and this can
badly affect signal reception. In rooms having a
number of people, attempt to install an antenna
high above the floor.
7. Once a wireless system is installed, actually move
around the site with a microphone to check system
operation.

ADDITIONAL EXPLANATIONS
Squelch circuit
In a receiver employing only a noise or carrier
squelch, the squelch circuit is actuated and provides
the output whenever the receiver receives the same
RF carrier as a receiving frequency. This causes
even a disturbing radio signal to be received provided
its frequency is the same as the receiving frequency.
As a result, it can happen that sound is suddenly
heard from the speaker due to disturbing radio signal
even when the wireless microphone's power switch is
left OFF.
Battery indicator
The squelch circuit of TOA's wireless systems con-
sists of both the tone and noise squelches, and is not
actuated if only same RF carrier as the receiving
frequency is received. It is so designed as to be
actuated and output a signal only when the received
RF carrier contains a very exact pre-determined tone
frequency component. Therefore, disturbing radio
signals are rejected and the speaker can be kept
completely quiet when the wireless microphone's
power switch is set to OFF, ensuring reliable use in
every application.
