SYSTEM OPERATION

Connecting the receiver

Prior to setting up, please check that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same channel. Two or more transmitters operating in the same channel can not be used at the same time and area.

1| | Connected the provided DC power supply to the receiver power input with an appropriate AC power source. The LED display will light and the receiver is on.
---|---|---
2| | Use a standard audio cable with 3-pin XLR connectors or 6.3mm phone plugs to connect the mixer or amplifier.

Never use the balanced and unbalanced audio outputs at the same time! This may cause signal loss or increased noise.

3| | Set the audio output level for
MIC: -20dB
LINE: 0dB (Default Setting)
4| | Using the Volume Controller to adjust the AF audio level to the input of the amplifier or mixer.

Default Setting: In minimum VOLUME position.

Channel setting on the receiver

Notice: Do not put two or more transmitters operating nearby when setting up the channel.
Please keep the transmitter at least one meter away from the receiver.

Check whether the receiver is located too near a metal object or there are obstructions between transmitter and receiver.
Sound interference| Check the antenna location.
When using 2 or above microphone sets simultaneously, make sure that the chosen frequencies do not interfere.
Check whether the interference comes from other wireless microphones, TV, radio and etc.
Distortion| Check the receiver volume level whether is set too high or too low.
Check whether the interference comes from other wireless microphones, TV, radio and etc.

Safety
