Quick Start

Expedition Express

The Expedition Escape has an internal, rechargeable battery capable of 20

hours of continuous audio on a full charge. Even though the system may have

some charge when first taken out of the box, we recommend fully charging

your Expedition Escape before first using the system.

To charge the battery for the first time:

• Set the power switch to the “OFF”

position.

• Connect the Expedition Escape to an

AC power outlet using the included

power adapter.

• Keep the system plugged in until

the Battery indicator changes to

green, indicating the battery is fully

charged.

The Expedition Escape utilizes a sealed lead-acid gel cell battery. When not

in use, the battery will slowly self-discharge. If you are planning not to use

the Expedition Escape for a long period of time, it is advised to fully charge

the unit before storing. It is also important to charge the unit every six

months when not used. This will ensure a healthy battery and extend its life.

If the battery is left with a very low charge for an extended period of time, it

is possible to recharge the battery to working condition, but the charge time

can take over 24 hours.

If you find that the operation time of the Expedition Escape becomes

noticeably decreased, even after fully charging, the battery should be

replaced. Contact Samson customer service or your local distributor for a

replacement battery.

Charging the Battery

The Expedition Escape provides three

different placement options for your specific

situation.

For maximum sound coverage the Expedition

Escape can be used with a standard 13⁄8”

speaker stand. The speaker should be raised

above the heads of the listening audience.

Take care when placing the speaker on a

stand, to ensure that it is on a level, steady

surface and will not tip over.

When using the speaker on the floor, or

when the speaker is below the listener, the

Expedition Escape features a monitor angle position to project the sound up,

towards the audience.

For smaller settings, the speaker can be placed vertically on a table or desk.

Take care when placing the Expedition Escape in direct sunlight for long

periods of time, as this may discolor or damage the unit.

Do not place the speaker on wet surfaces, as it can cause malfunction. If you

notice condensation on the unit, dry the speaker before using or storing.

Speaker Placement

Feedback is the annoying howling and squealing that can heard when the

microphone picks up sound from the speaker. The sound is then re-amplified

back through the speaker again, creating a feedback loop. Follow these steps to

minimize the likelihood of feedback:

• Avoid pointing the microphone directly at the speaker. In general it is

recommended that the microphone be positioned behind the speaker

enclosure. This uses the directional characteristics of the speaker and

microphone to your advantage.

• Keep the microphone as far from the speaker as possible. This will help

achieve isolation between the speaker and the microphone, and allow you

to increase the output of the Expedition Escape.

• Position the microphone as close to the sound source as possible. This

will enable the microphone to pick up more direct sound, and allow you to

reduce the microphone input gain control.

• Reduce the overall level of the speaker.
