BEST PERFORMANCE

The operating range of the MX receiver, like all low power radio systems, is highly dependant on the conditions of use and can be adversely affected by the position of both transmitter and receiver, the terrain over which it is being used, the prevailing atmospheric conditions and the presence of any interfering signals. To obtain best performance, it is recommended that you

• Keep the MX receiver as high above ground as possible – if worn on the body, it should be worn as high as possible and on the outside of your clothing.
• Try to keep a direct “line-of-sight” between the receiver and transmitter obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc may cause loss of signal, or reflections of the signal, resulting in “dead spots”.
• Do not keep the MX receiver in the same pocket as a mobile phone, or other electronic device.
• Ensure both your receiver and your alarms have good batteries.

All the above hints become progressively less important, as the working range is reduced. Remember to use the system responsibly – the MX receiver has been designed to give a long operating range in order to maximise reliability at close range and NOT to encourage users to leave their rods in the water unattended.

LOW BATTERY WARNING
When the MX Receiver batteries are low the LEDs will flash cyan (blue-green) periodically. When this occurs, batteries should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. The MX Receiver will also indicate if any your MX Alarms batteries are low. When the alarm low battery warning changes the microns LED colour to cyan (blue-green) the receiver will do the same for that alarm.

WARNINGS

• DO NOT trigger LED or speaker in close proximity to human or animal eyes and ears.
• Store this equipment out of reach of children and infants.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the Micron to severe impacts.

DRYING OUT AFTER USE IN HEAVY RAIN

The MX Receiver has been designed to be weatherproof. However, if exposed to heavy rain, it is important to allow the unit to dry out properly by bringing the unit indoors and allowing to dry fully NEVER place batteries in a hot environment (e.g. on a radiator).

REGISTRATION MODE

When the receiver is used for the first time, it is necessary to “register” the bite alarms that it will be used with, so that the receiver can “learn” their unique identification codes. Before starting this procedure, ensure all your bite alarms are switched OFF, then proceed as follows:

1. Switch MX Receiver “ON.”
2. Using a small pointed object press the registration button on the back of the receiver until the leftmost LED starts to flash. Release the button.
3. Now simply switch on each Micron in the order you would like them to appear on the receiver.
4. When complete press the registration button again on the back of the receiver, or switch unit off.

If you would like to change the order of the Microns, or add more to your setup please repeat the above sequence.

Note : The registration process can be disrupted if attempted in close proximity to other radio signals such as wireless routers

BATTERY REQUIREMENTS

The MX Receiver requires 3 x LR6 AA 1.5V Alkaline batteries. The use of good quality batteries is essential for maximum battery life. To reduce the risk of battery leakage:

• DO NOT mix old and new batteries
• DO NOT mix different battery types
• The use of rechargeable batteries is NOT recommended

Please ensure the batteries are removed from the Micron during long periods without use
