Battery Installation

To insert batteries, close the eject lever and insert the 

upper contacts first (closest to the mic capsule). Polar-

ity is marked on the label in the bottom of the battery 

compartment.

Close 

eject lever 

to install 

batteries

To remove the batteries, pull the eject lever outward. 

The battery tips will move outward, making them 

easier to grasp.

Pull eject lever outward to release batteries from contacts

The contacts are very tight to prevent the batteries 

from “rattling” as the transmitter is being handled.

IR Sync

The IR SYNC (infrared sync) port is used with receiv-

ers that offer this feature. Settings stored in the receiv-

er for frequency, step size and compatibility mode are 

transferred to the transmitter via the infrared ports. To 

use this feature, open the housing on the transmitter to 

expose the control panel. Hold the transmitter near the 

receiver (less than 3 feet away) so the IR ports face 

each other. The transfer is triggered by a switch on the 

receiver. The LCD on the transmitter will display a 

message confirming that the settings were success-

fully transferred, or an error message that identifies the 

problem that occurred.
