Receiver operation
1. Connect audio outputs for channel A and B to your mixer/amplifier/PA speaker system, choose either two
balanced XLR cables for dual output or a single unbalanced 6.35mm jack cable for mixed output of both channels.
2. Turn down the volume controls on your mixer/amplifier/PA speaker system before connecting your transmitters.
3. Connect the DC power supply to the receiver (10.) and plug into an appropriate power outlet.
Automatic transmitter connection to receiver (ACT)
1. Ensure that the microphone/bodypack is turned OFF and the receiver is turned ON.
2. Decide which of the 16 frequencies you wish channel A to operate on. In this example we will choose the first
frequency (863.00MHz). On the receiver unit, press and hold the Set button (3.) until the word ‘Channel’ starts
flashing on the receiver display (4.). Press the up or down buttons (2.) to move through the frequencies until you
reach your chosen frequency (e.g. 001 / 863.00). Press and hold the Set button (2.) for three seconds to select the
frequency and move on to connecting the mic/bodypack transmitter. The ACT icon will now flash on the display.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover on the handheld mic or open the bodypack battery compartment.
4.
Now turn ON your mic/bodypack transmitter.
5. Ensure that there is a short and direct line-of-sight between the transmitter infrared connect window (13. on the
mic or 22. on the bodypack) and the receiver’s infrared connect window (5.). In other words, point the front of the mic
or the
open
battery compartment of the bodypack towards the right hand side of the receiver’s front panel.
6. When the mic/bodypack display (12./21.) shows the same frequency as the receiver, the two are connected. The
RF indicator should also change to indicate the connection and the ACT icon will stop flashing.
7. If the receiver displays stops flashing before connection, press the Set button again to restart the process.
8. To test the connection, speak into the mic, the AF indicator should change indicate that the unit is receiving an
audio signal. To test the bodypack, attach one of the mics or an instrument to the bodypack input socket (16.), turn
up the volume control (17.) and speak/play, the AF indicator will change to indicate that the unit is receiving a signal.
Whenever the mic/bodypack transmitter or system are turned off and then turned on again, the ACT connection
should remain in place until you change the channel frequency on the receiver. This allows the mic/bodypack to be
turned on and off during performance. If for any reason the connection is lost, simply repeat from step 1.
To connect the second microphone/bodypack to Channel B, repeat the above procedure from step 1. (but choose a
different frequency in step 2.).
To avoid interference between the two channels
, ensure that your chosen
frequencies are not too close to each other (e.g. 1+2), instead choose two separated frequencies e.g. 1+14 or 5+15.
When both channels have transmitters connected, turn up the channel volume controls on your connected
mixer/amplifier/PA speaker system, you should hear the signal coming through and you can adjust the volumes to
suit your performance. To adjust the output volume of each channel of the receiver, press the up/down Selection
buttons (2.) to increase or decrease the volume.
VERY IMPORTANT
- if you wish to run 2 receivers and 4 transmitters together and to avoid interference between
the two systems, it is recommended you use the following setup:
Unit 1
- set
channel
A
to frequency
1
and set
channel B
to frequency
14.
Unit 2
- set
channel
A
to frequency
5
and set
channel B
to frequency
15.
Other functions
To search for a free channel on the receiver, press and hold the Set button (3.), press the Set button repeatedly until
Frequency on the display begins to flash. Use the up/down Selection buttons (2.) to find a free channel, then press
the Set (3.) button again to confirm your choice.
To adjust the mic/bodypack transmitter power output, press and hold the Set button (3.), press the Set button
repeatedly until POW on the display begins to flash. Use the up/down Selection buttons (2.) to choose either HI
(high power) or LO (low power), then press the Set (3.) button again to confirm your choice.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble connecting the mic/bodypack transmitters to the receiver, first
check whether you have
fresh working batteries correctly installed.
Weak or dead batteries will NOT be able to make a connection. If you
still fail to connect the two, start by turning both units OFF for 5 seconds, then turning the receiver only back on and
starting the connection procedure from step 1. If you get intermittent interference while using a handheld microphone
ensure that you are holding it in them middle and NOT by either end as this is where the antennas are situated.
