• Install the antenna on the top. (NEVER power the unit without the antenna in place.)
• Power the Gateway as instructed in its manuals.
• Turn on the unit by pressing the power button.

PAIR: PlayerMic and Gateway remote control (H2 or N3)

• The screen on the Gateway displays the serial number of paired transmitters.
• Press the button to either scan for transmitters or add the serial number found on the PlayerMic antenna.

ADJUST: Set the functions in the two transmitter menus of the Gateway. Screen one includes: frequency, power on/off, battery level, mic mute/live and mic offset. Screen two includes: transmitter name, group, RF power, 2.4GHz channel, storage and reboot.
IR SYNC: Use IR Sync to form an audio channel between the transmitter and receiver. The receiver band must match the band of the transmitter.

• Select a receiver channel.
• Tune the channel to an available frequency using group scan or manually tune to an open frequency.
• Assure transmitter is in standby or on mode.
• Press the SYNC button on the receiver.
• Align the IR windows between the transmitter and the receiver so that the IR LED illuminates red.
• When complete, “Sync Success!” appears on the receiver.

USE TIPS: When using the PlayerMics, it is suggested that a strain relief method be used to ensure that there is no direct pulling force on the microphone connector during use or during removal. One method is to loop the microphone cable back and tape the  connector to the edge of the transmitter.
