Use scan mode to re-select the channel before your actual live performance, or when you are in a new location.
If other wireless systems will be in use nearby, put them in operating condition.

Power-off the transmitter.
Press the [SCAN] button to enter scan mode.

The channel with the least radio interference is automatically selected. When scan is complete, the channel indicator shows the channel that was found.

If numerous wireless systems or radio devices (such as Wi-Fi routers or Bluetooth devices) are operating nearby, there might be radio interference on all channels. Power-off unused radio devices, and then use scan mode once again to select a channel.

For Stable Wireless Communication

Do not place obstructions between the receiver and the transmitter. Do not allow too much distance between the receiver and transmitter.
Keep the receiver at least three meters (9.8 feet) away from any radio device (*1) or microwave oven.
Dropouts might occur in the audio if the radio conditions in the area change. Use scan mode once again to select the channel. If this does not solve the problem, power-off any unused radio device (*1) or microwave oven, and use scan mode once again to select the channel.
If you hear the sound of a different mic, use scan mode once again to select a different channel. If you are using multiple WL-30XLRT units simultaneously, manually select channels that do not conflict.

Such as a Wi-Fi router or Bluetooth device

Using multiple WL-30XLR units simultaneously

To prevent interference in the wireless communication, perform the following operations.

Power-off all receivers and transmitters.
If you are using other wireless equipment, make it ready for communication in advance.
