Operation instruction

Matching with receiver

• Please check if the transmitter and receiver are matched to the same frequency or channel before matching.
• Two groups of transmitters or more can not be operated simultaneously in the same place in the same frequency.
• Connect the power supply with DC12V connector on the rear panel. LCD lights up. This means it is powered on.
• Connect3 PIN XLR bal connectoror6.3 mm unbal connector with the next audio equipment (e.g. mixer or amplifier). Do not connect bal and unbal output simultaneously. This leads to signal consumption or noise increasing.
• MIC/LINE switching
  • MIC: -20dB
  • LINE: OdB (default value)
• Adjust volume knob to control the next audio equipment (e.g. mixer or amplifier). Default value: min volume
• Adjusting SQ knob to eliminate or reject RF noise. Default value: proper.

Setting receiver channel
Note: Please do not put two or more transmitters closely during setting the frequency. Keep one transmitter away from the other one for more than one meter.

Scan mode

• In this mode, the system will scan the channel which be used

• Press Set button 0.5 second. The character PRESET or SCAN or MANUAL will flash.

• Press the button, and select the “SCAN” function.

• Press “,6.” or ” V” button. If the system can not select the proper channel in GR and CH status, the system will scan all frequency band automatically and select the proper frequency.

• Press the “SET” button, GR and the number below stop flashing to finish

SCAN operation.
Note: if you need to set multiple receiver systems, please keep matched receivers and transmitters powered on, and then match other systems.

Default mode

Set hand-held microphone and bodypack microphone

•  Open the battery compartment and load the battery.
•  Turn the microphone end tube counterclockwise and open the battery compartment. Load in the battery according to correct polar.
•  Connect with a lavalier microphone, headset microphone or a guitar cable.
•  Turn on the handheld microphone or bodypack transmitter. If the LED keeps flashing, this means insufficient battery power. Please replace the battery in time.
•  Audio input gain setting
  • OdB
  •  -lOdB (default value)
  •  -20dB

Note: if it will not be used for a long time, please turn off the power switch to save the power.

Headworn mic wearing

•  Wear the head-worn mic on the head, and put the hook on ears, and adjust the elastic band. Refer to the figure.
•  Adjust the elastic band on head properly.
•  It is recommended to keep the mic 2-3cm away from your mouth and 45 degrees to your mouth. refer to the figure below:

Matching receiver and transmitter

• Automatically matching the channels, easy setting
•  Turn on the transmitter and receiver at first. Press SYNC button of the transmitter. The display of receiver flashes. Press SYNC button of receiver.
• It selects the channel and send it to the transmitter.
•  The transmitter and the receiver should be kept in Im range during matching,

Cautions

• If the Omni-directional antenna is used for the receiver. Keep the antenna 0.5m away from the wall (especially metal object).
• The receiving range is relative to many factors. If there is no big metal part in the transmission direction, the transmission effect is better.
• If the receiving condition is not so good, you can use the extension cable and external high gain antenna, or even antenna amplifier to improve the receiving effect.
• If the receiver front panel is facing to the operation direction or the receiver is kept in the metal box, put the antenna to the front panel for better receiving effect.
• During operation, if the transmitter has the LED lighting up red or flashing green, this means the low power voltage. Please replace battery in time.
• If the transmitter will not be used for a long time. Take the battery out to prevent from microphone damage.
• Correctly adjust the distance from transmitter cartridge to the mouth. If the distance is too close, it leads to too much modulation and signal distortion. If too far, it leads to insufficient modulation and less S/N ratio.
• It is recommended to keep the distance 5~15cm.

Trouble Shooting

Transmitter or receiver has no indication| The transmitter battery is used up.

The receiver power supply is not connected well.

---|---
Receiver has no RF signal| Transmitter and receiver are not in the same

channel or out of the operation range.

There is RF signal but no audio signal| The microphone signal is not sent to the receiver or the receiver hasloo deep squelch setting.

Too loud audio background noise

| The transmission modulation deviation is too small.

Too low receiver output level or there is interference signal

Audio signal distortion| The transmitrer cartridge is too close to the mouth or the receiver output level is too high.

Short operation range, unstable signal

| The receiver has too deep squelch setting, or the

antenna is not set well or there is strong electro­ magnetic interference
