Operation Instructions

Application Download

1. Download apps like "WeSing", "Chang Ba", "Inke", or "Huajiao" from your cell phone's App Store.
2. Alternatively, download via a web browser by searching the app name. Ensure the downloaded version is compatible with your phone system.

Phone Karaoke

As shown in the diagram:

1. Connect the headphone to the microphone's headphone interface.
2. Connect the cell phone's headset interface through an audio cable.
3. Open "WeSing" or other karaoke software to start karaoke recording.

Computer Karaoke

1. Connect the headphone to the microphone's headphone interface.
2. If the computer audio interface is single-port, connect the computer audio interface to the microphone's phone interface using the supplied audio cable. If the computer audio interface is two-port, connect one end of the supplied audio cable to the microphone's phone interface, and the other end to a Y-splitter audio cable (not included). The two split ends should connect to the respective headphone/microphone port on the computer.
3. Open the computer PC karaoke software to start karaoke recording. (Adjust the recorder device volume on the computer if the recorded sound is too loud.)

Living Room Karaoke

Living room karaoke is similar to phone karaoke. Simply connect the active speaker to the microphone's headphone interface, and connect the cell phone to the microphone's phone interface.

Tips:

1. To prevent feedback when using an active speaker for karaoke, point the pickup end of the microphone away from the active speaker, maintain a proper distance, and lower the microphone volume or the active speaker volume.
2. It is not advised to record with your cell phone karaoke app while playing with an active speaker, because the microphone would pick up sound from the speaker as well, resulting in muddy recording quality.

Charging Description

1. Charge via a mobile power bank, computer USB, or power adapter. Note: Power adapter specifications can be DC 5V/1A, 5V/1.5A, or 5V/2A.
2. The microphone is out of battery when the power indicator does not light up when you try to power on the device. The power LED lights up red to indicate low power, requiring timely charging.
3. The power LED flashes red while charging and goes off when fully charged. When charging at DC 5V/1A, a full charge takes about 2.5 hours. Please stop charging when the battery is full to prevent overcharging.

Tips: Do a full charge upon first use. It can be charged while in use or when powered off. If unused for long periods, recharge the microphone once every six months to prevent over-discharging and battery degradation.

Troubleshooting

I. The indicator LED does not light up after the mic is turned on

Check if the microphone has enough power; recharge the microphone and recheck.

II. No sound when playing music

1. Check if the microphone is successfully connected to the cell phone.
2. Check if the headphone or headphone plug is properly connected.
3. Check if the cell phone is playing normally; close the playback software and reopen it to see if it returns to normal.
4. Check if the cell phone volume is set too low; adjust the phone volume and see if it returns to normal.

III. Cannot hear the microphone through monitor

1. Check if the headphone is successfully connected to the microphone.
2. Check if the microphone is turned on properly.
3. Check if the microphone volume is set too low; adjust and see if it returns to normal.

IV. Recorded sound has no sound effect

1. Check if the wire between the microphone and the cell phone or computer is properly connected; unplug and retry.
2. Check if the microphone interface is connected incorrectly. For example, if the audio cable is connected to the microphone accompaniment port by mistake, the microphone sound cannot be recorded. Please reconnect the cable to the Phone Interface on the microphone, then unplug and re-plug the other end on the cell phone to retry.

V. Cannot record the microphone sound or the recorded sound is too low

1. Check if the wire between the microphone and the cell phone is properly connected; unplug and retry.
2. Check if the microphone volume is set too low; adjust and see if it returns to normal.

VI. Feedback howling in monitoring headphone

1. Check if the headphone is properly connected; unplug and retry.
2. Please turn off the monitoring function in the App when using a cell phone.

VII. Echo on computer live stream

In "Group Chat" mode on a computer livestreaming platform, enabling the mixing function will redirect the group member's sound to your chatroom, causing the audience to hear echo. Please turn off the mixing function in "Group Chat" mode. Mixing function does not cause this problem in other modes.

VIII. Echo on phone live stream

Some mobile livestreaming apps do not have a disable setting for the monitor function, which can cause echo when monitoring from headphones. In this case, please lower the volume of the livestreaming phone to the minimum.
