Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off:
   Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to power on & off. When the power switch is turned off, the LCD will show “OFF…” first and then the system will shut down.

2. Battery Status: When the battery has less than 10% power remaining, it must be replaced or recharged. If an under-voltage condition continues, the LCD will show “OFF..” and the system will shut down.

3. MODE Button: To access one of the functions below.

4. SET Button: To change parameters.
   

5. GRP-CH, FREQ.: Displays Group and Channel, Frequency information.
   A. Press MODE and stop on the GRP-CH frequency, the LCD screen blinks and shows the current state. In 30 seconds, the display will stop blinking and show the current group and channel.
   B. The LCD only shows the group, channel, and frequency information which is not allowed to be changed.
   C. Changing the current group, channel and frequency must be done on the receiver and then synced by pressing the “ACT” button on the receiver.
   D. When programming a special frequency via monitoring software, the LCD screen cannot display the number. This is because this special channel is not in the preset group and channel.
   RF, the LCD panel will look like the illustration below.

6. AF GAIN: Setup and Change of Input sensitivity
   A. AF gain is programmed between -18dB and 30dB in 6dB increments.
   B. Press MODE and stop on the AF GAIN function.
   C. Press SET to set dB value between -18dB and 30dB In 6dB increment.
   D. The display will stop blinking If not operated within 30 seconds.
   E. The higher the gains are set, the lower the dynamic range for signal input and the greater the danger of unwanted noises and feedback getting into the system.
   F. When the gain is set at 0dB, the maximum input strength is 2 Vrms (6dBV).
   G. When the gain is set at -12dB or -18dB, it stands up to 20Vp-p input signals. Signals cut off when it exceeds this level.

7. AF L-CUT: Setup and Change of Low Frequency Cut Off
   A. Press MODE and stop on the AF L-CUT function.
   B. Press SET IO set L- CUT or FLAT.
   C. The display will stop blinking if not operated within 30 seconds.
   D. Set as L-CUT, the frequency response below 100Hz will decrease about 3dB with a slope of – 6dB/Octave.

8. AF LIMIT: Setup and Change of Input Limit
   A. Press MODE and stop on the Iha AF LIMIT function.
   B. Press SET IO set YES or NO.
   C. The display will stop blinking if not operated within 30 seconds.
   D. Set as YES, the maximum output of the receiver is limited to IO 1V.

9. ENCRYPT: Displays Information of Encryption
   A. Press MODE and stop on the Iha ENCRYPTION function.
   B. The display will stop blinking if not operated within 30 seconds.
   C. The ENCRYPTION function displays status Information only and Is not allowed IO to be changed on the transmitter.
   D. The ENCRYPTION function must be set at the receiver first and then using ACT to program the transmitter. (Refer to the “Encryption” function of the receiver)

10. RF POWER: RF Power Selection
    
    A. Press MODE and stop on the RF POWER function.
    B. Press SET to set HIGH or LOW.
    C. The display will stop blinking if not operated within 30 seconds.
    D. HIGH has 50mW transmitting power. LOW he’s 10mW transmitting power. Set appropriate power to meet region/country regulations.

11. AF PHASE: Phase Selection of AF Inputs
    A. Press MODE and stop on the AF PHASE function.
    B. Press SET to set NORM or INVER.
    C. NORM: AF input is positive (positive polarity)
    D. INVER: AF input is negative (reverse polarity)
    E. The display will stop blinking if not operated within 30 seconds.
    F. AF PHASE function provides users a phase selection for different condenser microphones.
    The normal setting Is NORM. INVER might be selected If the condenser microphone has reverse polarity. Sat as INVER might eliminate the feedback, but affect the sound quality.

12. PHANTOM: Phantom Power
    A. Press MODE and stop on the Iha PHANTOM function.
    B. Press SET to set OFF, 12V, or 48V.
    C. The display will stop blinking if not operated within 30 seconds.
    D. PHANTOM is for setting phantom power and provides three selections: 12V or 48V or OFF. 12V or 48V is normally set for a condenser microphone; OFF is normally set for a dynamic microphone.
    E. Generally, a wired microphone with phantom power is allowed to use in the 12V – 48V phantom power supply range. If the wired microphone is determined to be operated at 12V, it is strongly recommended to be set to 12V to reduce the transmitter power consumption significantly & extend battery life.
    F. Phantom power status: POO indicates turned off (OFF); P12 Indicates 12V phantom power; P48 indicates 48V phantom power
    G. The maximum power supply is 10mA under 48V phantom power. However, observe the total power consumption will increase significantly and the battery life will therefore be reduced by 50% or more.

13. SET LOCK: Setup and Change of Parameter Lock
    A. Press MODE and stop on the Iha SET LOCK function.
    B. Press SET to set UNLOCK or LOCK.
    C. UNLK: To unlock; LOCK: To lock.
    D. The display will stop blinking if not operated within 30 seconds.
    E. Under LOCK status, receiver settings cannot be changed, and power on/off is locked. To power off, change to unlock status (UNLOCK).
    F. A sudden loss of power will deactivate the LOCK function.

14. ERR: Error Code “ERR” display indicates the operation is not correct. The error codes are as follows:
    A. ROM-ER→ Transmitter does not have the initial data.
    B. ERROR1→ Failure on RF circuitry.
    C. NO—-03→ The frequency to be programmed into the transmitter exceeds the highest frequency of the designated frequency band of the transmitter.
    D. NO—-04 → Frequency to be programmed into the transmitter exceeds the lowest frequency of the designated frequency band of the transmitter.

MUTE (ON/OFF)

1. Light on: “Muted”. Function setting is not affected and ACT synchronization is allowed.

2. Light off: “Unmute”.

3. The MUTE setting is not affected under LOCK status.
