flashing and is ready to be modified.
c. Press SET button to set dB value. -18dB ~ 30dB
in 6dB increment
d. Screen stops flashing and remains in the set
state if not operated within 30 seconds.
e. The higher the gains are set, the lower the
dynamic range for signal input and the greater
the danger of unwanted noises and feedback
getting into the system.
f. When using electronic guitar, gain should set at
0dB.
g. Please make sure input signal strength does not
exceed 2 Vrms (gain=6dB) as it is the maximum
input strength allowed for transmitter without
causing distortion.
h. When the gain is set at -12dB or -18dB it
stands up to 20Vp-p input signals. Signals cut
off when it exceeds this level

PHANTOM: Phantom Power
a. Press the MODE button to select the PHANTOM
screen, the LCD screen will start flashing in the
current set state and is ready for change.
b. Press the SET button to set OFF, 12V or 48V.
c. The screen will stop flashing and remain in the
set state if not operated within 30 seconds.
d. PHANTOM is phantom power setting function,
providing three selections: 12V or 48V or OFF,
12V or 48V is normally set for an external
wired condenser microphone;
OFF is normally set for an external wired
dynamic microphone.
e. A general wired microphone with phantom
power is allowed to use in 12V ~ 48V phantom
power supply range. If it is determined that the
phantom power wired microphone can operate
at 12V, it is strongly recommended to be set to
12V, it reduces transmitter power consumption
significantly & extends battery life.
f. Phantom Power Status: P00 is turned off (OFF);
P12 indicates 12V phantom power; P48 indicates
48V phantom power.
g. Maximum power supply of 10mA up to 48V
phantom power usage. However, observe the
total power consumption will increase
significantly and battery life will therefore be
reduced by 50% or more.

ERR: Error Code
If the LCD displays “ERR” after turning on the
power, it indicates the operation is not correct. The
error codes are as follows:
ROM-ER →Transmitter does not have the initial
data so the microphone is completely
dead and cannot be programmed.
ERROR1 →Failure on RF circuitry, frequency cannot
be programmed.
NO-03 →Frequency to be programmed into the
transmitter exceeds the highest
frequency of the designated frequency
band of the transmitter.
NO-04 →Frequency to be programmed into the
transmitter exceeds the lowest
frequency of the designated frequency
band of the transmitter.
**Note:
NO-03 and NO-04 will not change the
transmitter's original frequency and the
transmitter will still operate normally with the
error message on display. To remove the error
message from the display panel, please switch
off the transmitter and switch it on again.
