Set Up the Receiver

Attach the included antennas to the back of the receiver.
Connect the power supply to the receiver and plug the cord into an AC power source.
Connect the audio output to an amplifier or mixer.

Install Transmitter Batteries

Bodypack:

Move the locking lever to the open position and slide the battery door open.
Place the battery into the transmitter.
Close the battery door.

Handheld:

Unscrew and remove the battery cover.
Place the battery into the transmitter.
Replace and tighten the battery cover.

System Set-Up

Important: Before beginning, turn off all receivers and transmitters. Turn on and link each receiver/transmitter pair one at a time to prevent cross-linking.

Turn on a receiver.
Press and hold the group button to select a group (if necessary). If the group is already set, press the channel button to scan for the best available channel.
Turn on a transmitter. The blue RF LED will flash while the transmitter and receiver form a link. When the link has suc successfully formed, the RF LED will remain illuminated. The transmitter and receiver will remain linked for future usage.

Repeat steps 1-3 for each additional receiver and transmitter. Remember to set each receiver to the same group.

Note: Dashes appearing on the group and channel display after a channel selection indicate that frequencies are not available in the selected group. Choose a group that supports more receivers and repeat the linking steps.

Linking Two Transmitters to a Receiver
Only one transmitter can be active at a time to prevent cross-interference. Gain settings for each transmitter can be indepen gently set and stored when the transmitter is active.

Important! Do not turn on and operate both linked transmitters at any time. Turn off both transmitters before beginning.

Press the group button to select a group. The receiver automatically scans the selected group to find the best available channel.
Turn on transmitter 1 and link it to the receiver. Adjust the gain, and then turn off the transmitter.
Turn on transmitter 2 and press and hold the link button to link it to the receiver. Adjust the gain, and then turn off the transmitter.

Identifying Linked Transmitters and Receivers with Remote ID
Use the remote ID feature to identify linked transmitter and receiver pairs in multiple receiver systems.
To activate remote ID:

Momentarily press the link button on the transmitter or receiver.
The screen of the linked receiver will blink and display ID, while the status LED on the linked transmitter will flash red/ green.
To exit remote ID mode, momentarily press the link button or allow the function to timeout.

Gain Adjustment

Use the gain buttons on the receiver to increase or decrease the gain of a linked transmitter:

Turn on the linked transmitter and momentarily press the gain buttons to adjust the gain in 1 dB increments
For faster gain adjustments, press and hold the gain buttons

Tip: Monitor the audio and observe the receiver audio meter level while adjusting the gain to prevent signal overload.

Locking and Unlocking the Controls
The controls of the receiver and transmitter can be locked to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to settings.
The following parameters are not affected by locking the controls:

Lock status is not changed by power cycles
The receiver power switch does not lock

Locking the Receiver Controls

Simultaneously press and hold the group and channel buttons until LK appears on the screen. Repeat to unlock.

LK is displayed if a locked control is pressed
UN is displayed momentarily to confirm the unlock command

Locking the Transmitter Power Switch
To lock directly from the transmitter:
Start with the transmitter off, then press and hold the link button while turning on the transmitter. Continue to hold the link but ton until the lock icon appears on the receiver screen. Repeat sequence to unlock.
To lock from the receiver front panel:
Simultaneously press and hold the group and link buttons for approximately 2 seconds until the flashing lock icon appears on the receiver screen. Repeat sequence to unlock.
Note: The transmitter status LED will flash red/green if a locked switch is set to the off position.
