mitter o prior to charging.
2. SETTING UP
Positioning the receiver
•  Set up the receiver as a free-standing unit.
•  Reections o metal parts, walls, ceilings, etc. or the shadow eects 
of musicians and other people may weaken or cancel the direct 
transmitter signal.
For best results, set up the receiver as follows:
1)  Place the receiver near the performance area (stage). Make sure, 
though, that the transmitter will never be any closer to the receiver 
than 10 ft (3 m). Optimum separation is 16 ft (5 m).
2)  Check that you can see the receiver from where you will be using 
the transmitter.
3)  Place the receiver at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from any large metal 
objects, walls, scaolding, ceilings, etc.
Connecting Antennas
The supplied ¼-wave antennas can be mounted quickly and easily 
and are suitable for applications where a direct line of sight between 
the transmitter and the receiver antenna is available and a wireless 
system has to be set up within a very short time.
Remote Antennas
If reception is less than ideal at the receiver’s position, use remote 
antennas:
•  Connect the remote antennas to the BNC sockets on the receiver 
rear panel.
•  Use the BNC extension cable (Front Mount Antenna Rack Mount 
Kit P/N 7704720000) to mount the ¼-wave antennas on the front 
panel.
•  Use RG58 or RG213 cable to connect the antennas.
Connecting the receiver to 
a balanced input
1)  Use an XLR cable to connect the BALANCED output on the back 
of the receiver to a balanced input (XLR socket) on the mixer or 
amplier.
2)  Turn the VOLUME control on the receiver fully anticlockwise to set 
the receiver output to mic level.

Connecting the Receiver to 
Power
1)  CAUTION: Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the 
included power supply is identical to the AC mains voltage 
available where you will use your system. Using the power sup-
ply with a dierent AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
2)  Plug the feeder cable of the included power supply into the DC IN 
socket on the receiver.
3)  Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet.
4)  Press the ON/OFF switch to switch the receiver on.
Inserting and testing 
batteries in the transmitter
1) 
Depress the snap hook on the battery compartment cover.
2)  Pull the battery compartment cover o the transmitter in the direc-
tion shown by the arrow.
3)  Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment conform-
ing to the polarity marks. The transmitter will not function if you 
insert the battery the wrong way round.
4)  To turn
 the transmitter on, set the on/o switch to “ON”. If the 
battery is in good condition, the status LED will be lit green. If the 
status LED is lit red, the battery will be at within about one hour. 
Replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible. If the sta-
tus LED is not lit, the battery is at. Insert a new battery.
i 
  If you use a rechargeable battery, the LED will change to 
red approximately 15 minutes before the battery goes 
at.
5)  To close the battery compartment, slide the battery compartment 
cover onto the battery compartment from below until the snap 
hook engages.
Setting the frequency on 
the receiver
Set the transmitter and receiver to the same frequency:
1)  Set the desired channel number by pressing CHANNEL. With each 
press of the button, the channel number increases by one.
2) The set channel is indicated on the display and activated 
immediately.
Setting the frequency on 
the transmitter
1)  Switch the receiver on or, if it is already on, press CHANNEL. The 
selected channel (e.g. 1) blinks for 3 seconds after which it is dis-
played without blinking, indicating that the selected channel is 
active.
2)  During those 3 seconds, press CHANNEL to obtain the required 
channel number. Each press of the button increases the channel 
number by one.
3)  Once you have reached the required channel number, the display 
blinks for a further 3 seconds after which the channel you have just 
selected becomes active.
Connecting an instrument
Only use the supplied MKG L instrument cable with the Pocket 
Transmitter.
i 
  Fender cannot guarantee that the pocket transmitter 
will work perfectly with products from other manufac-
turers and any damage that may result from such use is 
not covered by the Fender warranty scheme.
1)  Remove the battery compartment cover.
2)  Plug the jack plug on the MKG L guitar cable into the output jack 
of your instrument and the mini XLR connector on the guitar cable 
into the audio input socket of the pocket transmitter.
3)  Turn the pocket transmitter on by setting the on/o switch to 
“ON”.
4)  Set the SQUELCH control on the receiver to minimum and switch 
the receiver on.
5)  Play your instrument.
6)  Use the screwdriver integrated in the battery compartment cover 
to set the GAIN control to a position where the CLIP LED on the 
receiver will ash occasionally.
7)  Replace the battery compartment cover on the transmitter.
Before the soundcheck
1)  Move the transmitter around the area where you will use the sys-
tem to check the area for “dead spots”, i.e. places where the eld 
strength seems to drop and reception deteriorates. If you nd any 
dead spots, try to eliminate them by repositioning the receiver. If 
this does not help, avoid the dead spots.
2)  If the RF OK LED on the receiver goes out, this means no signal is 
being received or the squelch is active. Switch the transmitter on, 
move closer to the receiver or adjust the squelch level to the point 
where the green RF OK LED lights up.
3)  If interference noise occurs, adjust the squelch level until the inter-
ference noise goes away.
i 
  Do not set the squelch level higher than necessary. The 
higher the squelch level, the lower the sensitivity of the 
receiver and hence the smaller the range between trans-
mitter and receiver.
