System 10
Installation and Operation

System Operation
Turn down the receiver volume control and the mixer/amplifier
level before starting up the wireless system. Do not switch on the
transmitter yet.
Receiver on...
Plug the power supply into an AC power source. The blue System ID
number on the front panel will illuminate.
Transmitter on...
When the transmitter is switched on, the receiver's green pair indicator
will light, and two indicators light on the transmitter: the transmitter
Power / Battery / Mute status indicator will glow green; and the
transmitter blue System ID display will illuminate. The blue System ID
display on the transmitter turns off after 30 seconds to conserve battery
power; the transmitter Power / Battery / Mute status indicator will
remain illuminated, indicating transmitter status.
To re-illuminate System ID display, press the Power / Mute switch.
Note:
this will alter the transmitter mute status. A slight touch of the
power switch toggles between muted and unmuted operation.
The transmitter’s Power / Battery / Mute status indicator glows red
when transmitter is muted, or green to indicated unmuted status. In a
low-battery situation, the Power / Battery / Mute status indicator begins
to blink.
The transmitters have a soft-touch power switch. When the switch is
set to “Mute” (red indicator LED), the transmitter produces RF with
no audio signal. When the switch is “On” (green indicator LED) the
transmitter produces both RF and audio. Excessive audio input to the
transmitter will cause the receiver’s red AF Peak indicator to light.
Receiver Volume
Under typical operating conditions, the receiver’s volume control should
be turned all the way up, with overall system audio gain adjusted at the
mixer or amplifier.
Input Level Adjustment
Input trimmer controls in the transmitters enable you to maximize
performance for a particular microphone or guitar sensitivity, or to
adjust for different acoustic input levels.
Adjusting Input Level — UniPak Transmitter
Slide the battery cover off the transmitter and remove the screwdriver
from its clip. Using the screwdriver, gently turn the “VOL” (Volume
– Microphone/Instrument Level) all the way up (clockwise, toward
“H”). Check for excessive gain by speaking / singing into the
microphone at typically loud levels while watching the receiver’s
Peak Indicator. If the Peak indicator does light, turn the “VOL” control
slightly counterclockwise until the Peak indicator no longer lights with
maximum audio input to the transmitter.
Adjusting Input Level — Handheld Transmitter
Unscrew the lower body cover and slide it off, exposing the screwdriver
and "LEVEL" (Gain Trimmer) control (Fig. C). Remove the screwdriver
from its clip. Gently turn the "LEVEL" control to its full clockwise
position (toward the side marked “H”), the factory setting. Check for
excessive gain by speaking/singing into the microphone at typically-loud
levels while watching the receiver’s AF Peak indicator. If the AF Peak
indicator does light, turn the "LEVEL" control slightly counterclockwise
until the AF Peak indicator no longer lights with maximum audio input
to the mic/transmitter.
Return the screwdriver to its clip and close and secure the lower body.
No further transmitter gain adjustments should be needed, as long as
the acoustic input does not change significantly.
CAUTION!
The small trimmer controls are delicate; use only the
supplied screwdriver. Do not force the trimmers beyond their normal
190° range of rotation.
Return the screwdriver to its storage clip when not in use.
Setting System ID Number & Pairing your Transmitter and Receiver
Your system has been preconfigured at the factory to operate with no
other pairing setup required; it will work out of the box. That is, your
receiver and transmitter are already a digital pair, and they have been
assigned the same System ID number.
The pairing instructions outlined below will help you if you find
it necessary to change system ID numbers in multiple-system
configurations, or pair a new transmitter to an existing receiver.
NOTE:
System ID is an identical number assigned to a paired
receiver and transmitter for identification purposes.
The System ID
number is not related to transmitting frequency. Due to the dynamic
nature of System 10 automatic frequency selection, the actual
transmitting frequencies may change during power-up or performance.
These frequency changes are seamless and imperceptible to the ear.
Single System — Pairing/System ID Instructions
1. Turn the receiver and transmitter on.
2. Push the System ID button on your receiver to choose an ID number
from 1 to 8. The receiver’s display will show your new ID and begin
to blink.
3. Within 15 seconds, push and hold the Pair button on your receiver
for about one second. The pair light will begin to blink green. Your
receiver is now in Pair Mode.
Note:
If the receiver pair button is not pushed within 15 seconds,
the system ID number will revert to its previous setting.
4. Open your transmitter and push its Pair button within 30 seconds*
of entering Pair Mode. The transmitter display will now show the
System ID number you have chosen for your receiver. The Pair
Light will glow steady, indicating you have successfully paired
your system.
Multiple Systems — Pairing/System ID Instructions
Note:
Up to eight systems may be used together without any
frequency coordination problems or group selection issues.
1. Turn the first receiver and first transmitter on.
2. Push the System ID button on your first receiver to choose an ID
number from 1 to 8. The receiver’s display will show your new ID
and begin to blink.
3. Within 15 seconds, push and hold the Pair button on your first
receiver for about one second. The pair light will begin to blink
green. Your first receiver is now in Pair Mode.
Note:
If the receiver pair button is not pushed within 15 seconds,
the system ID number will revert to its previous setting.
4. Open your first transmitter and push its Pair button within 30
seconds* of entering Pair Mode. The first transmitter display
will now show the System ID number you have chosen for your
first receiver. The Pair Light will glow steady, indicating you have
successfully paired your first system.
5. Repeat for each additional system, identifying each system with its
own unique ID number.
