TG 1000 – Safety Instructions
4
Please refer to the following table:
• If the equipment causes a blown fuse or a short circuit, disconnect
it from the mains and have it checked and repaired.
• Do not hold the mains cable with wet hands. There must be no
water or dust on the contact pins. In both cases you could receive
an electric shock.
• The mains cable must be firmly connected. If it is loose there is a fire
hazard.
• Always pull out the mains cable from the mains and/or from the
equipment by the plug – never by the cable. The cable could be
damaged and cause an electric shock or fire.
• Do not use the equipment if the mains plug is damaged.
• If you connect defective or unsuitable accessories, the equipment
could be damaged. Only use connection cables available from or
recommended by beyerdynamic. If you use cables you have made
up yourself, all claim to warranty is null and void.
• In order to disconnect the receiver from AC power, switch it off and
disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
Maintenance
• Only clean the equipment with a slightly damp or dry cloth. Never
use solvents as these damage the surface.
Troube shooting and servicing
• Do not open the equipment without authorisation. You could
receive an electric shock. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Leave all service work to authorised expert personnel.
1.2 TG 1000 Handheld and Beltpack Transmitters
• Protect the transmitter from moisture and sudden impacts. You could
either injure yourself or others or damage the transmitter.
• Always switch off the transmitter before changing the battery.
Handheld Transmitter
• Do not blow into the microphone. In a condenser microphone this
could damage the transformer. It is preferable to carry out a speech
trial.
Beltpack Transmitter
• Clip-on microphones are often very compact. If they are accidentally
swallowed there is a risk of choking. Always keep this type of
microphone away from small children.
Charging contacts
• Avoid letting the rechargeable batteries become too discharged.
The rechargeable batteries could be damaged and the life of them
could be reduced.
• If battery operated equipment is not used for a lengthy period
(e.g. 1 year) the self-discharge of the battery could be accelerated.
The temperature for long-term storage should be between
+10° C and +30° C.
• If the handheld transmitter is not used for several months, the
rechargeable batteries in the transmitter should be charged up at
least twice a year in order to avoid them running out and
deterioration in the performance due to self discharge.
• From time to time the battery and charging contacts of the
transmitter should be cleaned with a lint-free soft cloth moistened
with spirits or alcohol. Please remove the batteries from the
battery compartment before cleaning.
• The charging contacts of the transmitter can cause damage to
property, injuries or fire damage if they come into contact with
conductive material such as jewellery, keys or chains. This closes
the circuit and can thus cause the material to heat up. To avoid
this sort of unwanted circuit, the charging contacts must be
handled with caution. This applies particularly if the handheld
transmitter is transported in a bag or some other container
together with metal objects.
1.3 NiMH Rechargeable Batteries, Alkaline
Batteries
• The handheld and beltpack transmitters of the TG 1000 system can
only be powered with AA (LR6) Mignon alkaline batteries or
equivalent NiMH rechargeable batteries.
• The normal commercial alkaline batteries can have a length
tolerance of 2 - 3 mm. When changing the battery always ensure
good contact.
• If the transmitter is not being used for weeks or months, please
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak when not being used for a
long time and corrode the conductor strips and components. Repair
is not then possible. In this case all warranty claims are null and void.
The description “leak proof” on batteries is no guarantee that they
will not run out.
• Never take batteries apart yourself. The battery acid contained will
damage skin and clothing.
• If abused or misused, rechargeable batteries may leak. In extreme
cases, they may even present an explosion, heat, fire, smoke or gas
hazard.
• Never expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the
like.
1.4 Disposal
• If you throw away the transmitter, please remove the batteries.
• Old batteries may contain substances that are harmful to your
health and environment.
• Dispose used batteries always according to the applicable disposal
regulations. Please do not throw used battery packs into the fire
(danger of explosion) or your household rubbish, take them to your
local collection points. The return is free and required by law. Please
dispose discharged batteries only.
• For removing the batteries, please refer to chapter “How to insert/
replace the batteries“.
• All batteries are recycled to reclaim valuable material such as iron,
zinc or nickel.
• This symbol on the product, in the instructions or on the
packaging means that your electrical and electronic equip-
ment should be disposed at the end of its life separately
from your household waste. There are separate collection
systems for recycling in the EU. For more information,
please contact the local authority or your retailer where
you purchased the product.
