Operation - Bodypack receiver
Switch on the bodypack receiver by turning the rotary Volume/On/Off rotary control clockwise and
the LCD display will be lit. Turning this control further increases the output level to the earphones.
Flipping open the front cover reveals 4 buttons above the battery
compartment for settings adjustment. Pressing the UP/DOWN buttons
(
) adjusts the left/right output balance to the earphones.
Pressing the SET button steps through the various settings outlined below.
Pressing the SET button once will cause the character named “GROUP” in the
display to flash. The IEM16 has only 1 group of frequencies, so this parameter
will not need to be changed.
Pressing the SET button twice steps on to the CHANNEL setting and using the
UP/DOWN buttons will change the channel that the bodypack is receiving on
to one of 16 available UHF frequencies. Select the same channel as the
transmitter and the LED indicator (13) will light to show that RF is detected.
Pressing the SET button 3 times will step through to the LOC mode.
Pressing the UP button selects “LOC on” and then the UP/DOWN buttons will
no longer change the left/right output balance to the earphones.
To unlock the balance controls, press the DOWN button to select “LOC off”
When receiving RF from the transmitter, the upper left corner of the LCD
display shows a signal strength meter. The number of bars shown indicates
how strong the RF carrier signal is. It is important to maintain good RF
reception to avoid drop-outs or interference.
Up to 4 IEM16 systems can be operated in the same area on different UHF frequencies. However,
there is no limit whatsoever on how many bodypack receivers can “listen” to any one transmitter so
long as they are within the transmission distance and set to the same channel.
A clip on the bodypack enables it to be attached to clothing during use. The bodypack should be
positioned where it is convenient to access and comfortable to wear.
To power down the bodypack receiver, turn the Volume/On/Off rotary control fully anticlockwise until
it clicks. This will switch off the power to the bodypack and preserve the batteries.
