CONSUMER ALERT
Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system.
Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain
restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low
power level (not in excess of 50mW); and it has no protection from interference received
from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently
evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change.
For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC
(TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC)
or visit : www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/wirelessmic_factsheet.html
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other radio services.
According to FCC regulations, wireless microphone operations are unprotected
from interference from other licensed operations in the band. If any interference is
received by any Government or non-government operation, the wireless microphone
must cease operation or change frequencies. The above statement is valid only for
use in the U.S.A.
If you encounter slight receiving interference when the transmitter is far from the
receiver (from other than an operating TV station on the same frequency), it can
often be overcome by relocating the receiver to a different place, away from RF
sources, e.g., TV, radio, computer, electric motors.
PRECAUTIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Audio Feedback
Avoid acoustic feedback (howling or screeching) by taking care in selecting P.A.
volume, transmitter location and speaker placement.
[ Note: the pickup pattern characteristics of the microphone selected: Unidirectional
microphones are more resistant to feedback. However, they pick up sound sources best
that are directly in front of the microphone. Mics that are farther from the sound source
(such as a lavalier) require more acoustic gain and thus are also more prone to feedback
than close-source Mics.]
No Or Low Audio
If you are not getting audio through the system, carefully re-check all setups.
Especially note that the receiver and transmitter must be set to operate on the same
RF channel.
Also confirm that the BODYPACK transmitter’s POWER SWITCH (17) is not in the
MUTE/STBY position. The receiver’s UNBALANCED MIX OUT (8) is adjustable so
make sure the VOLUME CONTROL (6) is set properly.
RF Interference and Finding Open Channels
The FCC mandates that the following information be provided to all users of this
equipment:
