Connect  all  your  units  together  via  the  XLR  connector. 

You  can  connect  up  to  16  units  together  in  Master/Slave 

mode.  The  master  unit  will  run  the  slaves  to  the  masters 

built in programs and internal microphone. Plug in all units. 

When the Pocket Scan™ is first turned on, it will run through 

an internal self test where it moves all motors to their zero 

position. After the self test the units will react to sound, and 

chase to the several built in programs.
