Califone ® wireless PA systems deliver professional quality sound in a variety of presentation settings. Since they’re simple to set up and operate, you won’t need an audio expert. Whether it’s a large meeting of parents, an all-school spirit rally or a guest lecturer transmitting wireless audio from a laptop, you’ll have clear audio so everyone can listen and participate!
Operation Battery Charge the battery for at least 10 hours before using the PA916 or PA916-PS. Simply plug the power cord into an AC outlet and charging begins automatically. The charging indicator will flash until fully charged, then it will stay green. The unit can be used while it is plugged in for charging.

Operation continued Line In Insert both RCA plugs into the RCA jacks when using a stereo input. The left and right channels are combined so no pro- gram material is lost. If the source is monaural, either RCA jack can be used. The Line In volume control is used to increase or decrease the level of the input signal.
Wireless Operation Feedback is a shrill screeching sound produced by the speaker system when a microphone is being used too close to the front of the speaker. The microphone picks up the sound of the speaker system and it becomes reamplified. It is a self- sustaining loop which can damage the system if allowed to continue, not to mention the annoyance caused to persons nearby.
