Table of Contents AirLine Micro Camera System Owners Manual1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Samson AirLine Micro Camera wireless system, a breakthrough in wireless microphone technology . It is perfectly suited for commercial videographers, corporate, as well as broadcast video professionals . The AirLine Micro utilizes the latest in miniaturized electronic components, as well as lithium-ion batteries, resulting in Samson’s smallest wireless system, while preserving the high-quality audio you expect from a Samson wireless device . The AirLine Micro system ensures clear, interruption-free perfor- mance by combining tone-key with auto-mute . This configuration allows only the transmitter’s audio to pass through the receiver, and mutes the output if there is any interference . The AirLine Micro Camera system is designed so that it can easily be integrated into your current video system, and comes with all of the necessary components to execute your video shoot or live broadcast . The system is comprised of one AL2 belt pack transmitter and one AR2 micro receiver, which are each housed in a durable aluminum chassis . The AR2 micro receiver features an 1/8” unbal- anced audio output, with microphone or line level output, USB DC-input, and RF and Battery LED indicators . The system also includes a mounting adaptor that fits into the standard hot shoe, enabling it to be attached to any video camera . The system also includes one 3 .5mm-3 .5mm and one 3 .5mm-XLR audio cable to connect to the audio input of your camera . Also included is an LM10 omni direc- tional lavaliere microphone that allows the performer the freedom to move around while maintaining outstanding audio clarity . The AirLine Micro system utilizes fully rechargeable lithium-ion battery technology . The included AL2 transmitter and AR2 receiver feature internal rechargeable batteries, each allowing 10 hours of battery operation . Both the AL2 and AR2 can be recharged with the included AC adaptor and USB Y-cable, or with the included AR2DT docking station, or by USB bus power when connected to any USB host-equipped device . The AR2 can alternatively be powered by the included AC adaptor, for continuous operation .

Also, be sure to visit our website (http://www .samsontech .com) for information about our full product line . Special Note for U .S . Purchasers: Should your Airline Micro Camera system ever require servicing, a Return Authorization (RA) number is necessary . Without this number, the unit will not be accepted for return . If your AirLine Micro Camera system was purchased in the United States, please call Samson at 1-800-372-6766 for an RA number prior to shipping your system . If possible, return the unit in its original carton and packing materials . If your AirLine Micro Camera system was purchased outside of the U .S ., contact your local dis- tributor for service information . Battery Notice: Lithium-ion batteries are low-maintenance, and provide increased power capabilities in a lighter package, compared with NiCad (nickel-cadmium) batteries . All lithium-ion batteries have a finite number of times that they can be recharged, called a charge cycle . A charge cycle means using all of a battery’s power, but does not necessarily mean a single charge . A lithium-ion battery can be recharged when needed, and does not need to be fully discharged (contrasted with a NiCad battery) before charging again . Repetitive full discharges of the battery should be avoided, as lithium-ion batteries need to be utilized continuously for maximum life and performance . If you are not using your wireless system often, be sure to complete a full charge cycle at least every three months . If you need to replace your AL2 or AR2 battery, please contact Samson, or your local distributor .
