mixer. Turn the VOLUME control (3) on the receiver all the way CCW
to set the receiver output to microphone level.

B.

Use a standard 1/4” jack cable to connect the LINE OUT jack (8) on
the receiver rear panel to an unbalanced 1/4” line input jack on the
mixer. Turn the VOLUME control (3) on the receiver all the way CW
to set the receiver output to line level.

Never use the two audio outputs simultaneously! This may cause 
signal loss or increased noise.

1. Use a standard 1/4” jack cable to connect the LINE OUT jack (8) on

the receiver rear panel to an unbalanced 1/4” line input jack on the
amplifier.

2. Turn the VOLUME control (3) on the receiver all the way CW to set

the receiver output to line level.

1. Point the antenna (2) upward.
2. Set the SQUELCH control (12) fully CCW.
3.

Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the supplied AC
adapter is identical to the AC mains voltage available where
you will use your WMS 40.

Using the AC adapter with a different

AC voltage may cause irreparable damage to the unit.

4. Plug the feeder cable on the supplied AC adapter into the DC IN

socket (11) on the receiver.

5. Bend part of the feeder cable into a small bight, pass the bight

through the strain relief (10) from above, and place the end of the
bight snugly against the hook on the strain relief (10). Tighten the
cable.

6. Plug the AC adapter into a convenient power outlet.
7. Press the POWER switch (1) to switch power to the receiver ON.

1. Depress the snap hook on the battery compartment lid (16)/(23).
2. Pull the battery compartment lid (16)/(23) down to remove it from the

transmitter.

The foam pads on the inside of the battery compartment lid (16)/(23)
holds the batteries in place. Do not remove the foam pad. If you do, the
batteries will not be held in place properly and may cause a rattling noise.

3. Insert the supplied batteries into the battery compartment conform-

ing to the polarity marks.
The transmitter will not function with incorrectly inserted batteries.

4. Set the on/off switch (13)/(18) to “ON” to switch the power to the

transmitter on.
The status LED (14)/(19) will flash momentarily. If the batteries are in
good condition, the status LED (14)/(19) will extinguish.
If the status LED (14)/(19) illuminates the batteries will be dead
within about 50 minutes. Replace the batteries with new ones as
soon as possible.
If the status LED (14)/(19) fails to flash momentarily the batteries are
dead. Insert new batteries.

5. To close the battery compartment, slide the battery compartment 

lid (16)/(23) onto the battery compartment from below to the point
that it will click shut.
