    FOR EQUIPMENT THAT CONNECTS TO THE POWER MAINS

24. CAUTION: If the power cord of the device is equipped with earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective ground.
    Never deactivate the protective ground of a power cord.

25. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in temperature (for example, after transport), do not switch it on immediately. Moisture and condensation could damage the equipment. Do not switch on the equipment until it has reached room temperature.

26. Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first, verify that the mains voltage and frequency match the values specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a  voltage selection switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values and the mains power values match. If the included power cord or the power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet, contact your electrician.

27. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power cable does not become kinked, especially at the main outlet and/or power adapter and the equipment connector.

CONNECTIONS, CONTROL, AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS

1. POWER
   On/off switch. Press and hold this button for a duration of approx. 1 second in order to turn the device on or off.

2. CHANNEL DISPLAY
   Illuminated LC display to show the radio channel.

3. CHANNEL + / –
   Switch to set the radio channel 1 to 12. In order to establish a radio connection between the transmitter and receiver, the radio frequency of both devices must match.

4. LEFT / RIGHT
   Knob to adjust the input signal level of the left and right audio channels. In stereo mode, the signals of the left and right channels should have the same level in order to have a homogeneous stereo signal in the pocket receiver. Use the equalizer in mono mode to create a custom mix of the left and right channels, meaning the volume of both channels can be set as needed (example: left channel = mixer mono sum, right channel = solo vocals).

5. LEVEL DISPLAY L / R
   5 segment LED chain to display the audio input signal level. For an optimum signal-to-noise ratio, level the left and right signals as high as possible, but make sure that the red PEAK LED does not light up, or only briefly, to avoid signal distortion.
   

6. STEREO/MONO
   Switch to set the operating mode.
   STEREO: A pending stereo signal is transmitted to the pocket receiver in stereo.
   MONO: Pending audio signals are summed internally and transmitted to the pocket receiver in mono.

7. DC CONNECTOR
   Low-voltage connector to supply power to the device. Please use only the provided power adapter.

8. CABLE STRAIN RELIEF
   Use the strain relief for the flexible cable of the power adapter to protect the transmitter’s low-voltage connector and the power adapter’s low-voltage plug from unintentional damage and to avoid pulling out the connector
   inadvertently.

9. AF INPUT LEFT/RIGHT
   XLR/6.3 mm jack combination socket for the left and right input channel (XLR = symmetric, jack = asymmetric).

10. ANTENNA
    BNC connector for the provided transmitter antenna.

11. TRANSMITTER ANTENNA
    Transmitter antenna with BNC connector.
    

12.   DISPLAY
    Illuminated DC display with dual functions. When switched on, the display illuminates for several seconds and shows the channel number currently set. If the batteries have low power, the display begins to flash red.

13. CHANNEL + / –
    Switch to select radio channels 1 to 12. Press and hold one of the two buttons for approx. 2 seconds in order to change the setting. The currently set channel number will begin to flash and you can select the desired radio channel using the + and – buttons. The flashing stops after approx. 5 seconds, the display illumination goes out, and the selected radio channel is activated. In order to establish a radio connection between the transmitter and receiver, the channel number or radio frequency of both devices must match.

14. ANTENNA
    The antenna of the pocket receiver. For optimal reception, do not obscure or bend.

15. BATTERY COMPARTMENT
    To replace the batteries, open the battery compartment of the pocket receiver by simultaneously pressing on the markings on both sides of the battery compartment cover and open the cover towards the front. Remove the used batteries and insert fresh batteries (2x AA/LR6, alkaline) as depicted in the battery compartment.
    Now fold the battery compartment cover back onto the housing until the lid clicks into place. Do not use the receiver for extended periods of time, and please remove the batteries in order to prevent damage to the receiver due to leaky batteries.

16. PHONES
    3.5 mm stereo jack socket to connect earphones or headphones.

17. ST
    The green ST status LED illuminates when the stereo mode is activated on the transmitter. The LED goes out as soon as the mono mode is activated.

18. RF
    The yellow RF LED display illuminates when a radio signal is present. If the LED does not illuminate while in operation, check whether the receiver’s radio channel matches that of the transmitter, or reduce the distance between the receiver and transmitter.

19. ON/OFF-VOL
    Turn the volume knob clockwise over the stop to turn the receiver on and further to the right to increase the volume. Turn the knob counterclockwise to reduce the volume and past the stop to turn off the receiver. Always keep the volume at a comfortable level to avoid hearing damage.

20. BELT CLIP
    There is a belt clip on the rear side of the pocket receiver that can be used to attach the receiver to a waistband, belt, or similar.
