decrease the RF power (reduced range).
This is a useful feature as the “L” setting
increases battery life and also optimizes
the number of channels that can be used
simultaneously in a given location. Use
this setting for normal use not requiring
maximum operating range. A range walk
test before use will determine which setting
is best for your application.
Slide the On/Off switch to the “ON”
position and the microphone is now ready
to use. The receiver’s RF
Signal Meter (12)
and one
Diversity a or B Indicator (2)

the transmitter. Adjust the volume of the
receiver per Connecting Audio Output.
Note:
Avoid acoustic feedback (howling or
screeching) by taking care in selecting PA volume,
transmitter location and speaker placement.
The RF Signal meter and the Diversity A or B
indicator on the receiver’s LCD display should be
“ON” in normal operation.
