Installing Batteries

The transmitters and the receiver are each powered by two AA batteries. To install batteries, please follow these steps:

1. Turn OFF the units, Slide the battery-compartment catches inward (in the direction of the arrows ‘                                                                            
2. Take out the battery holder.                                                  
3. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment by matching their polarities to the indications inside the compartment. Then, set the battery holder in the original position.

NOTE

Please make sure the units is turned OFF, because taking out the battery compartment during signal transmission may cause high noise.

Battery indication

When you turn the power on, the battery condition is shown by the BATT indication in the display section.

Be sure to check the expiration date printed on the new batteries before using them.

NOTE

1. The indicated battery condition may not be correct if the batteries were not new when installed. If you plan to use the units for a long period, it is recommended that you replace the batteries with brand new ones.
2. Insufficient battery power can decrease the ability of transmitters and receiver. Therefore, make sure your batteries start out with a full charge when using this system, and always carry spare batteries.

Notes on battery

Batteries may leak or explode if mistreated. Be sure to follow these instructions:

1. Make sure to install the batteries with correct polarity.
2. Always replace two batteries together.
3. Do not use different types of batteries or old and new ones together.
4. When not using the components for a long period of time, remove the batteries to avoid leakage. If the batteries do leak, clean all leakage from the battery compartment and the component.

Leakage left in the compartment and the component may cause poor battery contact. If there seems to be poor battery contact, please consult our local dealer.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by manufacturer.

When you dispose of the battery, you must Obay the law in the relative area or country.

Attachment and Installation Procedures

To attach the holder clip to the microphone

Push the holder clip against the bottom of the microphone until the holder clip clicks into place.

To attach the wind screen to the microphone

Insert the microphone into the hole at the bottom of the windscreen.

Attaching the supplied accessories to the body-pack transmitter

To attach the microphone

For a secure connection, be sure to turn and lock the connector.

NOTE

Make sure to attach or remove the microphone after turning off the transmitter.

For a secure connection, be sure to turn and lock the connector cover.

To attach the belt clip

Before attaching the shoe mount adapter, attach the belt clip. Reorienting the belt clip: The WMX-20’s belt clip can easily be removed and reattached to the body pack, so you can mount it upside down. To reorient the belt clip, please follow these steps:

1. Push outward on the belt clip at one of the hinges, so one side of the clip pops out.
2. Push the belt clip out from the other hinge to completely remove the clip from the body pack.
3. Realign the belt clip with the body pack, making sure the clip is facing the desired direction.
4. Insert the two-way belt clip into the body pack, one hinge at a time.

To attach the shoe mount adapter

Connecting the Transmitters and the Receiver

To connect the transmitters and the receiver, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the supplied lavalier microphones are connected to the transmitters’ microphones input or plug a line-level source into the transmitters’ line input.

NOTE:

If you are connecting the receiver to a sound system, mute the sound system. Do not monitor with the headphones at the stage. Anytime you are changing the channel, remove your headphones and mute connected sound systems to avoid audible RF noise bursts.

2. Turn on the transmitters and the receiver.

3. Set the transmitters and the receiver to the same channel. If you are experiencing interference or noise on one channel, try a different channel

NOTE:

The Channel-A and Channel-B of receiver can be adjusted separately. When using two transmitters, transmitter A and transmitter B don’t need to be on the same channel.

Just keep Channel-A of the receiver the same channel as Transmitter A, and Channel-B of the receiver the same channel as Transmitter B.

Note: I) If you are using multiple WMX-20 wireless systems, make sure each system is set to a different channel which can reduce the chance of intermodulation.

2. If the transmitters and the receiver connect, the power indicator stays blue. Otherwise, if the power indicator of receiver light off, that means the transmitters and the receiver is disconnected. For more details, please refer to page 5

3. The settings are stored in memory automatically. The stored channel number will appear in the display section the next time you turn on the transmitters and the receiver.

4. With the headphone volume low, plug your headphones into the receiver and gradually raise the level to a comfortable volume for monitoring the transmission.

5. The Channel and Volume of the Transmitters and the Receiver are “CH-1” and “VOL-28” when turn on them for the first time. – Adjust channel as you need. – Adjust as necessary to make sure an ample level is being transmitted to the receiver. The objective is to transmit the highest level without distortion for the best signal-to-noise ratio throughout the signal path.

6. Once you have determined the transmission quality and level are good, mount the transmitter and the receiver,

NOTE

1. When you are setting the transmission channel, the transmitter cannot be used to transmit signals.
2. Do not remove the batteries while setting the transmission channel.
3. Make sure that the selected channel is the same on the transmitters and receiver being used in the same system.
