4. OPERA TION INSTRUCTIONS 1. T urn the volume controls of the receiver and device in use to a minimum setting before turning on the microphone transmitter . After the receivers power switch is set to the on position, the power switch’s red indicator illuminates to denote normal power status. 2. If the SIGNAL LED indicators of the receiver are il[...]

microphone the AUDIO LED indicators will illuminate according to the strength of sound level. If the LEDs do not illuminate or sound is not present at the output, the system is not functioning properly and must be checked. 4. Receiver and Amplifier V olume Adjustment: a.

IN” input jack of the amplifier or mixer . Adjust the volume controls of the amplifier or mixer to the same desired level, then properly fine adjust the receiver volume control to match the same sensitivity as the wired microphone. d. If the receiver output level is adjusted to a level that is near the maximum input level of the desired device, i[...]

5. Caution 1. Since the installation of the antenna influences the operating efficiency of the receiver , the most important rule is to minimize the distance as much as possible between the receiving antenna and the microphone for the best reception and performance. 2. The output voltage of the external DC power supply should not be below 12V , oth[...]
