Operation Guidance

Single system setup

Step 1: Connect and power up the receiver

1. Connect antennas to the receiver via ANT jacks.
2. Connect the power supply to the receiver via the power jack.
3. Connect the audio output to an amplifier/speaker or mixer via 1/4” mixed output jack or XLR audio output jack.
4. Long press (2s)the receiver power button to turn it on.

Step 2: Turn on transmitters

1. Install fresh batteries with the correct polarity.
2. Long press power buttons to turn on transmitters.

NOTE: The LCD screens of handheld and bodypack transmitters turn dim in standby mode. The LED light on top of the bodypack transmitter remains green to indicate it is turned on.

Step 3: Manual setup
Short press (tap) the “▲” up and “▼” down buttons to select the desired frequency.
NOTE: For PWR-6000, press the “▲” up and “▼” down buttons to select the desired channel first. The selected channel will flash, and please press SET to confirm. Then follow the step above.

Step 3: AutoScan setup

1. Long press (2s) the SET button of the receiver to initiate the auto-scan function, which searches for the best frequency in the RF environment.
2. Wait until the new frequency appears on the screen.

NOTE: For PWR-6000, press the “▲” up and “▼” down buttons to select the desired channel first. The selected channel will flash, and please press SET to confirm. Then follow the steps above.

Step 4: Pair up the receiver and transmitters

1. One short press of the SET button again to initiate the IR synchronization.
2. Vertically aim the IR window of a transmitter to that of the receiver.

NOTE: The signal indicator “ ANT ” indicates the frequency is successfully synchronized. The audio indicator “ ((( ANT ))) ” flashes to indicate the frequency is receiving audio signals.

Optional step: Initiate the lock function
Long press the “▲” up button of the receiver for two seconds to lock your settings and to avoid accidental touch.
NOTE: For PWR-6000, press the “ ▲ ” up and “ ▼ ”down buttons to select the desired channel first. The selected channel will flash, and please press SET to confirm. Then follow the step above.

Multiple system setup

You are suggested to use no more than 20 transmitters simultaneously（band and RF environment depend). Turn on any other equipment that could cause interference during the performance so it will be detected during the group and channel scans in the following steps. Before you begin system set up, turn all receivers ON and all transmitters OFF.

1. Initiate the auto-scan function for a channel of a receiver.
2. Turn on the first transmitter and pair it up with the receiver.
3. Repeat the above two steps until set up all channels.
4. Leave transmitters on and continue with additional systems according to the above three steps.

Wireless Tips

If you encounter wireless interference or dropouts, try the following suggestions:

• Replace the transmitter batteries.
• Choose a different frequency channel.
• Avoid approaching the receiver and transmitters with metal or other dense materials.
• Place the receiver as high as possible on the equipment rack.
• Remove any devices causing possible signal interference, such as cellphones, computers, media players, two-way radios, and digital signal processors.
• Keep transmitters more than 6 feet (two meters) apart.
• Mark trouble spots during soundcheck and inform performers to avoid those areas.
• Place antennas away from each other.

Troubleshooting

securely plugged into an electrical outlet.

• Make sure the receiver is powered on.

No sound or fain sound| Receiver LCD screen on| • Make sure the transmitter is successfully paired up with the receiver. You can see “ ANT ” on the receiver screen.

• Make sure the transmitter successfully transmits audio signals. You can see “ ( ( ANT ))) ” flashes on the receiver screen. Otherwise, replace batteries for the transmitter. If it does not work, replace the transmitter. Adjust volume controls of the receiver and speaker to propel levels.

Low battery| The battery indicator shows low battery status| • Replace fresh batteries for the transmitter.
A howling noise

(also “feedback”) from the speaker

| | • Do not point the microphone directly to the speaker. And increase their distance.
