How to use

2.2 Power ON / OFF

Slide the ON/OFF switch upwards to switch the device on. The LC-display will light up and the current setup as well as the battery status are shown. The device is ready for use after 3 seconds. After 8 seconds the display goes out. It lights up again when an entry is made and goes out again after 8 seconds.

To switch the device off after use: Slide the ON/OFF switch back to the lower position.

2.3 Channel selection

Switch the device on and press the MODE-button for 3 seconds.

The symbol »CH« in the display will blink. Select a channel of 0-7 by pressing the » « and » « buttons. After the selection, wait for 3 seconds to set the selected channel number.

Transmitters and receivers must be set to the same channel number if they are to communicate with each other. The receivers must be of the bidirectional type.

2.4 ID selection

Within a channel, each TRX needs to have a different ID from »00« to »99«. Every channel with a TRX must have a TRX set to the master-ID »00«, which defines it as the master transmitter of the group. The icons »M« (master) and »Microphone« (talk enabled) are indicated on the display as soon as the ID is set to »00«.

To set the ID, continue as follows: On the powered-up device, press and hold the MODE-button for 3 seconds. The symbol »CH« on the display will blink. Press the MODE-button again. The symbol »ID« will start to blink. By means of the » « and » « buttons, select an ID from »00« to »99«, while taking care that each TRX within the channel has its own number.

After the selection, wait for 3 seconds to set the selected ID number.

Any ID setting apart from »00« will cancel the master function and the icon »M« will disappear.

2.5 Transmitting and receiving

The TRX with the master-ID »00« is automatically enabled to transmit and receive. In order to activate transmission on other TRX within the channel:

On the powered-up device, press the MUTE button for 2 seconds. The microphone icon is indicated on the display and the device is ready to transmit. To end the transmission function, press the MUTE button again for 2 seconds. The microphone icon will disappear from the display and the device is set to reception only.

If a non-master TRX is only intended for reception, no further action is required after switching it on.

Up to 3 devices can send at the same time: The master unit and 2 others.

Please note:
If transmission is activated on a further TRX, the first TRX in the activation sequence loses its right to transmit. The master unit is not affected.

2.6 Volume up / down

The volume can be adjusted through 6 levels from muted to maximum. On the powered-up device, press the » « and » « buttons to adjust the volume as desired.

2.7 Monitoring function On / Off

The monitoring function enables you to hear your own voice over the system. Proceed as follows if you wish to activate the monitoring function:

On the powered-up device, press and hold the MODE-button for 3 seconds. The symbol »CH« in the display will blink.

Press the MODE button two times. The »SO« symbol in the display blinks. By using the » « and » « buttons, select »SO« to activate the monitoring function or SF to deactivate it. After the selection, wait for 3 seconds to set the selected function.

Please note:
The default setting is »SF« (monitoring deactivated).

2.8 Microphone sensitivity

The microphone sensitivity can be adjusted through 5 levels according to environmental requirements:

On the powered-up device, press and hold the MODE-button for 3 seconds. The symbol »CH« in the display will blink.

Press the MODE button three times. The »C1« symbol in the display blinks. By using the » « and » « buttons, select between C1 (low sensitivity) and C5 (high sensitivity).

Please note:

2.9 Audio output high / low

Apart from the volume control, it is possible to adjust the basic audio output level. A higher audio output will raise the maximum volume – this might be required in noisy surroundings.

On the powered-up device, press and hold the MODE-button for 3 seconds. The symbol »CH« in the display will blink.

Press the MODE button four times. The »UH« symbol is shown in the display. By using the » « and » « buttons, select UH (high output) or UL (normal output). After the selection, wait for 3 seconds to set the selected output level.

Please note:
Selecting »UH« can cause white noise and should only be used in loud environments. We recommend the default setting »UL«.

2.10 Encryption

If the use of Xepton-NX requires discretion, such as in court buildings or during private sessions, the communication between transmitter and receiver can be encrypted. Other Xepton-NX devices can then no longer participate in the communication.

For this purpose, basic settings on the involved devices must be changed – please contact your authorized AUDIOropa dealer.
