• These wireless microphones can operate on 16 channels.
• If there are interferences on a frequency or if you use more than one microphone of the same model, you can change operating frequency. The procession pole and the wireless microphone must always be set on the same frequency. To do that put the switches (12-13) of the pole and of the microphones (see picture in the next page) in the same position.
• If you are using two microphones remember to match the switches with red label on the pole with red microphone and those with blue label on the pole with blue microphone.
• When you turn on the wireless microphone the led will light on for an instant as a test. If the led lights on during operation it means that batteries are down and need to be replaced.
