Antenna
Antenna
The MRX-16 receiver is supplied with an attached
Antenna (5)
. It should be extended fully to
obtain maximum range. For maximum range,
it is always best to maintain a line-of-sight (no
obstructions) between the receiver antennas and
the transmitter whenever possible.
Powering the Receiver
The MRX-16 receiver can operate with either
two AA size batteries (DC operation) or with the
supplied AC adaptor (AC operation).
For DC operation, open the receiver’s
Battery Compartment Door (1)
and
place a fresh
AA Battery (2)
in the
Battery
Compartment (3)
, observing the correct polarity.
A fresh alkaline or NiMH AA battery will generally
provide 6-8 hours performance, but in order to
ensure optimal performance it is recommended
that the batteries be replaced after six hours of
use, or as indicated by the
Low Battery Indicator
(7)
. As the battery begins to weaken below
usable voltage, the low battery indicator will flash
continuously, warning that the battery is now too
low and should be replaced as soon as possible. To
preserve battery life, keep the receiver Off when it
is not in use.
Turn on the MRX-16 receiver by sliding
the
Power Switch (11)
to the second
position (receiver On but audio output muted/
attenuated), or to the third position for normal
operation (receiver On and audio un-muted).
The
Power & Low Battery LED (7)
will flash
once indicating receiver is operational.
SYSTEM OPERATION
MRX-16 Receiver
Selecting the MRX-16 Receiver
Channel and IR Sync
The Frequency Select DIP Switches
(9)
are used for selecting one of 16
preset frequencies. Simply position the
DIP switches to a desired open channel
on the receiver. There should be no
flickering of the
RF Signal LED
(6)
with
the transmitter off. See the
MRX-16 DIP-
Switch Frequency Selection Chart
on
page 16 for the correct switch position for
each of the 16 available channels. Once
you have selected the receiver frequency
it can easily be downloaded to the
transmitter to establish the necessary RF
connection. For further info on selecting
open channels, see
RF Interference and
Finding Open Channels
on page 15
.
The
IR Sync Button (8)
on the MRX-16
receiver is used to transfer the selected
frequency info from the receiver to the
transmitter for quick synchronization prior
to use. Begin programming by holding
the wireless transmitter’s
IR Receptor/
Sensor Window (21, 31, 46, 56)
about
6-12” from the receiver’s
IR Synch
Infrared LED Window (12)
. Press the
IR Sync Button once to begin the IR sync
download of the selected frequency to the
transmitter.
Note: To insure proper synchronization, the
transmitter must always be just turned on, or
else turned off then on again, before syncing
