Product Usage Instructions
- Turn off the Mini Micron X Receiver before fitting or replacing batteries.
- Slide the battery cover downwards away from the receiver until the full cover can be removed.
- Take care when removing the batteries and ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
- Align the battery cover within the channels on the receiver case and slide the battery cover towards the top of the receiver until you feel a positive engagement to re-fit the battery cover.
- To turn on the receiver, press and hold the on/off/volume button for 2 seconds and then release.
- To turn off the receiver, press and hold the on/off/volume button for 2 seconds and then release.
- To adjust the volume settings of the receiver, press and release the on/off/volume button incrementally until the desired level is reached.
- When using the Mini Micron X Receiver for the first time, it is necessary to register the bite alarms that it will be used with. Ensure all bite alarms are switched off before proceeding.
- To register the bite alarms, switch on the Mini Micron X Receiver and press the registration button on the back of the receiver until the leftmost LED starts to flash. Release the button.
- Switch on each Micron in the order you would like them to appear on the receiver.
- Press the registration button again on the back of the receiver, or switch off the unit when complete.
- If you would like to change the order of the Microns or add more to your setup, repeat the above sequence.
- Note that the registration process may be disrupted if attempted in close proximity to other radio signals such as wireless routers.
- If the volume or LED performance noticeably decreases, change the batteries. Remove batteries from the Micron during long periods without use to reduce the risk of battery leakage.
- Fish responsibly and do not leave rods unattended in the water to maximize reliability at close range.

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:
- Switch Mini Micron X Receiver “ON.”
- 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.
- Now simply switch on each Micron in the order you would like them to appear on the receiver.
- When complete press the registration button again on the back of the receiver, or digital switch unit off.
If you would like to change the order of the Microns, or add setup please
repeat the above sequence. more to your
Note: The registration process can be disrupted if attempted in close
proximity to other radio signals such as wireless routers.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
When the Mini Micron X Receiver batteries are too low the LEDs will
automatically begin to flash red every 2 seconds. They will remain flashing
red until new batteries are inserted into the alarm. Once new batteries have
been placed into the Mini Micron X receiver the LED col- our will
automatically revert back to your last chosen color. No audible low battery
warning is given by the Mini Micron X receiver. When the receiver is turned on
it will display the current battery life of the receiver with the following
indication
If the volume or LED performance noticeably decreases change the batteries. Please ensure the batteries are removed from the Micron during long periods without use.
BEST PERFORMANCE
The operating range of the Mini Micron X Receiver, like all low power radio
systems, is highly dependent 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 Mini Micron X 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 Mini Micron X 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 Mini Micron X Receiver has been designed to give a long operating range in order to maximize reliability at close range and NOT to encourage users to leave their rods in the water unattended. Please fish responsibly!
