1. Rackmounting the Receiver

There are 2 options available for rackmounting the Encore I receiver: singly or side-
by-side with another Encore Series receiver.

a. Single mounting: Remove the receiver 

SIDE MOUNT CLIP (1)

 from each side of

the receiver (as shown) and slide in the optional 

ERM-12 RACK EARS (9)

.

b. Side-by-side double mounting: After removing the 

SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1)

 from

both Encore receivers, join the two receivers with the 

EJC-2 JOINING CLIP (10)

and attach the 

ERM-22 RACK EARS (12)

 as shown. 

(Note: Do not mount the

receiver in a rack directly above an amplifier or other source of high heat – this
could degrade the performance of the Encore I. Always ensure adequate
airflow and heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)

2. Powering the Receiver

Plug the 

12V AC/DC ADAPTER (15)

 provided into the 

DC INPUT JACK (11)

 on the

back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet. 

(Note: Any 12V

DC source with 400mA capability can also be used.)  Press the 

POWER SWITCH (8)

once to turn on the receiver. The 

POWER ON LED (7)

 will now light and the receiver

is operational.

3. Antenna

The Encore I receiver is supplied with a 

TELESCOPIC ANTENNA (16)

. This should  be

extended fully to obtain maximum range.  Optimal antenna position is vertical. For
maximum range, it is always best to maintain a line of sight (no obstructions)
between the receiver antenna and the transmitter at all times whenever possible.

4. Mute (Squelch) Adjustment

In normal operation, the 

MUTE CONTROL (2)

 should be set fully counterclockwise to

the factory preset minimum RF level.  However, in areas of high RF activity, the mute
(or squelch, as it is sometimes called) may need to be adjusted to compensate for the
adverse conditions in a particular location.  If, with the transmitter off, one or more
LEDs of the 

5 LED RF LEVEL DISPLAY (4)

 flicker or stay on, the squelch control should

be turned clockwise until the LEDs extinguish.  When the squelch is properly adjusted,
the 

RF LEVEL LED

 displays will only light when the system transmitter is turned on.

Turning the squelch control too far clockwise will reduce the range, but yield a quieter
mute (squelch) function. When the 

5 LED RF LEVEL

 display extinguishes, the transmit-

ter is out of range for that given location, and the user should move closer to the
receiver to re-establish the radio link.
