Important Safety Instructions
1. Follow all instructions. 2. Do not block any ventilation openings. 3. Do not place the apparatus on an unstable surface, near water or heat source. 4. Use only the power cord that comes with the apparatus. or electric shock. 5. Use only the type of power source indicated on the apparatus and always supply power directly from a standard domestic electric outlet with the AC power cord that meets the relevant local safety standards. 6. Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same Use of another cord may result in fire
circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off. 7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched. 8. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. 9. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

General Description
GONSIN TC-902/904/906/908 infrared system is designed to offer simultaneous interpretation and wireless audio distribution for up to 1, 3, 5 or 7 different languages plus the floor language using the proven, state-of-the-art infrared light transmission technology.
As the central element of the system, the infrared transmitter interfaces with either analog or digital discussion system, connects to the interpreter consoles and the infrared radiators which transmit audio signals to wireless multi-channel receivers for the delegates to hear the language of their choice via personal earphones.
The system operates in the higher 2 MHz to 6 MHz frequency band, immune to distortion from hall lighting and free from outside radio frequency interference.
As infrared signals do not pass through walls and ceilings, the system is secure to use. applications can run simultaneous in different rooms without interfering with one another.
Multiple
The system complies with the relevant ISO, IEC, CE standards/requirements and is ideally suited for use in business and government conferences, international conventions and other multilingual applications.
Typical Applications
Convention centers Boardrooms Auditoriums
Parliament chambers City councils Theatres
Courtrooms Classrooms Churches
