Waistband Amplifier
with MP3 Player
Please read these operating instructions carefully prior to
operating the unit and keep them for later reference.
1 Applications
The WAP-5USB is especially designed to amplify the
voice picked up by the microphone. The practical belt
strap allows to wear the amplifier around the waist and
ensures complete freedom of movement. Thus, the unit is
ideally suited for lectures, training sessions, sports train-
ing, etc.
With the integrated MP3 player (readable file systems
FAT 16, FAT 32), MP3 and WMA audio files can be
replayed and speech and vocals can be recorded in the
MP3 format via the microphone.

3 Power Supply
The WAP-5USB can be operated with batteries/recharge-
able batteries or the supplied power supply unit which also
serves for recharging batteries.
1) For operation with the power supply unit connect it to
the jack DC IN (14) and to a socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).
ATTENTION Do not connect the power supply unit
2) For operation independent of the mains insert six bat-
teries or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries of size AA, as
indicated in the battery compartment, and close the bat-
tery compartment.
3) With the power supply unit connected, the batteries
are automatically recharged. The charging indication
RECHARGE (13) lights up. When the batteries are fully
charged, it will be extinguished.
4) The batteries are discharged or exhausted when the
unit is switched on and the POWER indication (9) does
not light up or when the MP3 player is switched on and
the display (7) shows
batteries.
4 Setting into Operation/Microphone operation
1) Tie the speech amplifier with the belt strap (15) around
your waist.
2) Attach the microphone to the metal rod of the headband
(fig. 2) and the cable holder to the metal head strap
(fig. 3). Put on the headband and adjust the microphone
so that it is close to your mouth (fig. 4).
3) Connect the microphone to the jack MIC IN (10). To pre-
vent accidental disconnection of the plug of the micro-
phone, use the cap nut to fasten the plug to the jack.
4) Switch on the unit with the volume control VOL (8) and
