11. RF Meter
When a connection is established between the transmitter
and receiver, this meter will light up. A full meter means
there is a strong connection between the microphone and
receiver, while a low meter means the microphone may be
too far away or there may be interference present.
12. Lock
When this icon is lit the PCT-3000 is in lock mode. This
ensures no accidental changes are made to the system.
Push the UP or DOWN buttons to activate. When flashing,
pressing and holding the UP button will initiate autoscan.
13. AF Meter
This meter will light up when a signal is received from the
transmitter. Essentially when you talk into the connected
microphone, the AF meter will display the incoming signal.
14. Mute Indicator
This indicator will light up when the channel is muted.
A quick push of the MENU button will mute/unmute the
channel.
15. Squelch Level
The squelch level indicates the sensitivity level of the
channel. Decreasing the squelch will increase the
transmission range, but with higher susceptibility to noise.
Increasing the squelch will decrease the transmission
range.

The transmission frequency is listed here in MHz.

Setup Diagram
The included antenna should be inserted into the antenna
ports on the rear of the device. The BNC end should be
inserted into the port and screwed into place.
The DC port is for the included DC power supply.
When connecting the receiver’s output to the line-level
input of a mixer or amplifier, switch the Operating Level
Switch to the 0 position. Low sensitivity may occur if switch
to the -10 position.
When connecting the receiver’s output to the microphone
input of a mixer, the Operating Level Switch should be set
to the -6 position. The incoming signal may be excessive
if set to the 0 or +10 positions.
Phonic suggests use of high quality audio cables when
making connections. The PCT-3000 features balanced
