Input trimmer controls in the transmitters enable you to maximize performance 
for a particular microphone or guitar sensitivity, or to adjust for different acoustic 
input levels. 

 
Adjusting Input Level - UniPak Transmitter 

Slide the battery cover off the top part of transmitter and remove the screwdriver 
from its clip (Fig. E). Gently turn both the “MT” (Mic Trimmer) and “GT” (Guitar 
Trimmer) controls to their full counterclockwise positions (toward “LO”). 

 
• Microphone: Adjusting input level 

Gently turn only the “MT” (Mic Trimmer) control all the way up (clockwise, toward 
“Hi”). Check for excessive gain by speaking/singing into the microphone at 
typically-loud levels while watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. If the AF 
Peak indicator does light, turn the MT control slightly counterclockwise until the 
AF Peak indicator no longer lights with maximum audio input to the transmitter. 

 
• Guitar/Instrument: Adjusting input level 

Gently turn only the “GT” (Guitar Trimmer) control all the way up (clockwise, 
toward “Hi”). Check for excessive gain by playing at typically-loud levels while 
watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. If the AF Peak indicator does light, 
turn the GT control slightly counterclockwise until the AF Peak indicator no longer 
lights with maximum instrument input to the transmitter. After adjusting input 
level, return the screwdriver to its clip and reinstall the battery cover. No further 
transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as long as the input device and 
the acoustic input level are not changed. 

 
Adjusting Input Level - Handheld Transmitter 

Unscrew the lower body cover and slide it downward, exposing the screwdriver 
and Gain Trimmer control (Fig. H). Remove the screwdriver from its clip. Gently 
turn the control to its full clockwise position (toward the side marked “H”), the 
factory setting. Check for excessive gain by speaking/singing into the 
microphone at typically-loud levels while watching the receiver’s AF Peak 
indicator. If the AF Peak indicator does light, turn the Gain Trimmer control 
slightly counterclockwise until the AF Peak indicator no longer lights with 
maximum audio input to the mic/transmitter. 
 
Return the screwdriver to its clip and close and secure the lower body. No further 
transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as long as the acoustic input 
does not change significantly. 

 
CAUTION! 
The small trimmer controls are delicate; use only the supplied 
screwdriver. Do not force the trimmers beyond their normal 190o range of 
rotation.  
 
Return the screwdriver to its storage clip when not in use.
