Note 1:
If user needs to set up a multi-receiver system, please keep your previous receiver-microphone pair powered on. A
maximum number of six Redback systems can be used in the one location at the same time. To use the maximum number of
frequencies in the one location at the same time consult the channel guide, in Table 2 in the Appendix.
Note 2:
Setting the SQUELCH high (towards max) will reduce the range of the system.
Note 3:
There are two types of transmitters available. Both are compatible with this unit. Series 1 transmitters have a DIP switch
for frequency selection. Series 2 transmitters have a rotary switch for frequency selection. Please refer to Table 1 in the
