Fast Forward
While a song is playing, press both the "+" and "–" Tempo buttons at
the same time to fast-forward through a song. It’s perfect to use
when you want to cut introductions and interludes or when you want
to practice at the same point in a song over and over again. (There
is no rewind feature.)
Auto Power Off
The power shuts off automatically after 15 minutes of nonuse.
Low Battery Indicator
When the batteries begin to weaken and need to be replaced, the
Low Battery Indicator will flash in the top left corner of the TV
screen. The Indicator flashes slowly when the batteries are running
low and quickly if the batteries are running out.
NOTE:
-To remove the cable from the TV input jack, pull the plug, 
not the cord.
-Do not drop, swing or strike the e-kara microphone.
-Keep the microphone away from moisture and high and low 
temperatures. Do not use near water.
PROBLEMS?
The e-kara microphone won’t pick up your voice.
Sing into the top of the microphone and keep it as close to your mouth as
possible.
The power keeps going off.
When you attempt to turn the power on without inserting the cartridge
first, the number "88" will flash in the Display Window, then the power will
go off. Be sure to insert the cartridge first before turning the power on.
The screen freezes.
The screen may freeze if you drop e-kara or if it absorbs some force.
Press the Reset button on the side of the microphone to restart e-kara.
There is feedback.
When you place the e-kara microphone too close to the speakers, you
may get feedback. Keep the microphone away from your speakers.
