use.
2.
Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible obstruction between
it and the normal location of the transmitter. Line-of-sight is best.
3.
The transmitter and receiver should be as close together as conveniently possible.
4.
The receiver antenna should be in the open and away from any metal or cement
walls.

mitter is not used for a period of time.

IMPORTANT RF OPERATION NOTES
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other audio services:
According to Federal Communications Commission regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected from interference from other licensed operations within
the band. If any interference is received by any Government operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation…”
If you encounter receiving interference (from other than an operating TV station), often it can be eliminated by adjusting the receiver’s antenna.
