Understanding Your Microphone
How The Microphone’s Controls Appear in
This Manual
To help navigate the microphone's menus, the steps shown in
this manual describe the displays you see and the keys you
press or control you operate to get a desired result.
Mounting the Microphone
You can mount the microphone’s cradle on any convenient
mounting surface such as a bulkhead, flying bridge, or
chart table. The mounting surface you choose must have
12V DC power available nearby. Because the cradle has no
power switch, you will need to wire it directly to a power
source such as the boat’s battery or to a power distribution
panel connection that receives power all the time.
Warning: Please keep metal objects away from the
WHAMx4 charger.
1.
Connect the wires on the back of the cradle to a 12-volt
battery. You may extend this cable as necessary, but
you must observe proper polarity (i.e., red is
positive and black is negative).
2.
Connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery
terminal.
3.
Connect the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal.
4.
Make sure the connections are clean and tight so they
do not vibrate loose during the boat’s operation.
Occasionally clean any accumulated corrosion from the
battery terminals.
5.
Use the template at the back of this
Owner’s Manual and the supplied
mounting screws to secure the
back of the cradle to the mounting
surface, then snap the front of the
cradle onto the back.
6.
Slide the microphone into the cradle to
secure it and charge its batteries.
