WMS 40 FLEXX

1. Set the frequency selector (25) on the transmitter and the frequency selector (8) on the

receiver to the same positions (1 - 1, 2 - 2, or 3 - 3).

2. Remove the battery compartment lid (28).
3. Plug the mini XLR connector on the cable of your microphone into the audio input socket

(24) on the bodypack transmitter.

4. Set the on/off switch (22) to "ON" to switch power to the bodypack transmitter on.
5.

Set the SQUELCH control (14) on the receiver to minimum

and switch power to the

receiver on.

6. Talk or sing into the microphone.
7. Use the screwdriver (28a) integrated in the battery compartment lid (28) to set the GAIN

control (29) to a position where the AF CLIP LED (6b) on the receiver will flash occa-
sionally.

8. Replace the battery compartment lid (28) on the transmitter.

1. Set the frequency selector (25) on the transmitter and the frequency selector (8) on the

receiver to the same positions (1 - 1, 2 - 2, or 3 - 3).

2. Remove the battery compartment lid (28).
3. Plug the jack plug on the MKG L guitar cable into the output jack on your instrument and

the mini XLR connector on the guitar cable into the audio input socket (24) on the body-
pack transmitter.

4. Set the on/off switch (22) to "ON" to switch power to the bodypack transmitter on.
5.

Set the SQUELCH control (14) on the receiver to minimum

and switch power to the

receiver on.

6. Play your instrument.
7. Use the screwdriver (28a) integrated in the battery compartment lid (28) to set the GAIN

control (29) to a position where the AF CLIP LED (6b) on the receiver will flash occa-
sionally.

8. Replace the battery compartment lid (28) on the transmitter.

1. Remove the battery compartment lid (28).
2. Remove a label from the supplied sheet.
3. Letter the label as desired.
4. Remove the battery and place the label on the viewing window (28b).
5. Replace the battery and slide the compartment lid (28) back in place on the transmitter.

1. Move the transmitter around the area where you will use the system to check the area

for "dead spots", i.e., places where the field strength seems to drop and reception de-
teriorates.
If you find any dead spots, try to eliminate them by repositioning the receiver. If this does
not help, avoid the dead spots.

2. The RF OK LED (3a) on the receiver going out means no signal is being received or the

squelch is active.
Switch the transmitter on, move closer to the receiver, or set the squelch threshold to the
point that the green RF OK LED (3a) will be lit.

3. If the received signal is noisy, set the squelch threshold to a level where the noise will

stop.

• Never set the squelch threshold any higher than absolutely necessary. The hig-

her the squelch threshold (-70 dB = max., -100 dB = min.), the lower the sensi-
tivity of the receiver and thus the usable range between transmitter and receiver.
