SECURITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
E ECTRICA SECURITY
Check that the current in the mains connection where the machine is to be installed corresponds to the
power supply of the machine.
To avoid damaging the equipment, electrical shocks, fire or physical injury when you connect or disconnect
the equipment from the power supply, pull the plug firmly out of the mains socket holding the plug, never the
cable.
Always do this with dry hands.
Keep the power supply cable far from sources of heat. Do not put heavy objects on top of it or change it.
Clean dust and dirt off the power supply cable regularly.
Do not open the machine; you could get an electric shock.
CAUTION
While installing the machine, make sure it is switched off and unplugged.
Do not open the machine. Touching the internal parts is dangerous and you could receive an electric shock.
The machine must not be splashed or dripped on. Never place recipients with liquid inside on the machine.
Do not place anything inside the machine.
OCATION
Place the equipment on a horizontal surface with enough space around it to allow ventilation.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and excessive dust.
Do not place the machine near magnetic fields or static electricity.
Do not use surfaces which vibrate or receive impact.
Do not pile machines on top of one another.
VENTI ATION
Never block or cover the ventilation slits on the machine.
Do not expose it to direct sunlight or place it near sources of heat.
PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
When the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
If you are using an adapter, take into account that it will continue using electricity even if the machine is
switched off. If it is not going to be used for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains.
THE ENVIRONMENT
To save energy, switch the machine off when you are not going to use it for a long time. The machine could
contain substances that are harmful to the environment or human health. To minimize the effect of these
substances the machine must be correctly managed and recycled when you decide to dispose of it.
When you dispose of it remember: it cannot be thrown into a conventional rubbish bin.
If it contains or uses batteries, these must be disposed of separately.
The machine (without batteries) must be disposed of correctly. Put it in a container specially intended for the
collection of electronic and electrical appliances, at the dump or hand it over to the dealer when you purchase
similar equipment, so that the dealer can dispose of it correctly (at no added cost).

DESCRIPTION
High power megaphone with siren and wireless hand-held microphone. FONESTAR megaphones are
suitable for all types of uses: portable megaphone, police, firemen, lifeguards, sporting competitions,
meetings, political demonstrations, etc.
It includes a shoulder strap for transporting it and can be powered using 10 x R20-D batteries or 12 V DC.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GENERAL USE
Amplified audio or the siren can damage human eardrums. Do not use this megaphone near other people´s
ears.
When you are not going to use the megaphone for a while, remove the batteries and keep them separate,
on the contrary the batteries could decompose inside the megaphone, causing serious damage.
Never leave your megaphone in direct sunlight or near a heat source for a long period of time.
Use a fine cloth with mild detergent to clean the outside of your megaphone. Never use an abrasive product
or solvents.
INSERTING THE BATTERIES
- Open the compartment on the back by pushing it downwards.
- Remove the battery compartment and insert 10 x R20-D batteries, preferably alkaline, respecting polarity.
- Insert the battery compartment into its position and push the cover on to close.
BATTER INDICATOR
If the ED indicator lights up green, it shows that the batteries are charged enough for the megaphone to work
correctly. When the ED indicator changes to red, it shows that the batteries are low. In this case you should
change the batteries for some new ones, preferably alkaline.
OPERATING
Connect the microphone to the MIC input on the back of the megaphone.
Press the button on the lefthand side of the microphone and adjust the volume using the control on the
righthand side, until you reach the desired level.
Speak through the microphone with your mouth as close to it as possible and keeping away from the
amplified output from the megaphone to avoid acoustic feedback.
The button on the microphone can be fixed into place, pressing it and sliding it upwards. Make sure you
unlock it when you finish speaking to avoid unnecessary consumption.
Note: if the TUNER/AUX volume control is on, the microphone button will be inactive. In this way, the
microphone will be permanently open for message transmission until the TUNER/AUX control is moved to
the OFF position.

OPERATING WITH WIRELESS MICROPHONE
1.- The receiver unit is installed in the back of the megaphone, and is accessible by opening the battery
compartment cover. Check that this is correctly installed. Extend the receiver aerial on the megaphone.
2.- Switch the megaphone on by turning the TUNER/AUX volume control on the top, turn it to its minimum.
3.- Switch the wireless microphone on by moving the switch to ON position 1 and adjust the TUNER/AUX
volume control until you reach the desired amplification level. Speak through the microphone with your
mouth as close to it as possible and keeping away from the amplified output from the megaphone to
avoid acoustic feedback.
4.- POWER SWITCH: 3 positions, ON, STAND BY and OFF. Move it to the ON position for it to work. When
not speaking but you want it prepared, move the switch to the STAND BY position. This way you will
save battery and the microphone will turn on immediately when the switch is moved to the ON position.
The OFF position is to switch it off. Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position when you are not going
to use it for a long period of time.
BATTER CHARGE INDICATOR: when the switch is in the ON or STAND BY position, the red ED
indicator will light up and will go off immediately afterwards. When the battery is low, the ED indicator
will stay on. In this case, substitute it for a new one, preferably alkaline.
AERIAL: this is incorporated internally in the body of the microphone to make it easier to use.
BATTER : unscrew the lower casing from the body of the microphone and insert a R6-AA type battery,
preferably alkaline, respecting the polarity shown on the battery compartment. The battery has to be well
charged for it to work properly.
FREQUENC INDICATOR: the transmission frequency is shown on a label on the back of the battery
compartment.
OPERATING WITH THE SIREN
- Move the A ARM switch on the top of the megaphone to the SIREN position to activate the siren. To
switch it off, move to OFF.
OPERATING WITH AUXILIAR INPUT
1.- Connect an auxiliary signal output or a radio, CD player headphone, etc., to the auxiliary input on the
megaphone using a 3.5 mm mono jack (an adapter with a 3.5 mm mono to stereo jack is included).
2.- Switch the megaphone on turning the TUNER/AUX volume control on the top of the megaphone until
you reach the desired level of amplification.
3.- If the connected equipment has volume control, adjust it to a suitable level to acheive the best result
along with the megaphone volume.
4.- When you finish make sure that you turn the volume control to the OFF position to avoid unnecessary
consumption.
5.- If the microphone is connected with a coiled cable at the same time as an auxiliary input, the push button
on the microphone will be deactivated and will capture all sound, therefore being able to hear the two
inputs through the megaphone simultaneously.
CONNECTION TO 12 V DC BATTER IN VEHICLES
- The megaphone can be powered by a car battery using the lighter connector with power cable supplied.
The 12 V DC input is on the back of the megaphone and polarity is marked above the connector. Special
care must be taken with the polarity to avoid damaging the megaphone.
