tem in a matter of minutes! Detailed instructions for setting up and using your AirLine system can be found on page 14 of this manual, and
the “Guided Tour” sections on pages 4 - 13 provide full descriptions of all AirLine component controls and displays.
1. Make sure that the supplied receiver and AH1 transmitter are factory preset to the same channel.
2. Physically place the receiver where it will be used and extend its antenna(s) vertically.
3. Set the power switch on your AH1 transmitter to the “off” position (away from the arrow) and place a fresh battery in it. Then turn the
transmitter back on momentarily; its LED will flash once and then go off if the battery is sufficiently strong. Once battery strength is verified,
turn the transmitter off again.
4. If you are using an AH1 headset microphone, position it correctly as per the illustrations on page 12. If you are using an AirLine
UHF Wind Instrument System, clamp the horn mic to your instrument as described in the supplied HM40 owners manual.
5. Turn your audio system off and make the physical cable connection between the receiver’s balanced or unbalanced output jack (if necessary, both can be used simultaneously) and a mic level audio input of your amplifier or mixer. If your system contains a CR77,be sure to set
its Audio Output Level switch correctly.
6. Turn the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the receiver completely counterclockwise. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the receiver
and plug it in , but leave its power off for the moment.
7. Turn on the receiver. If your system contains a CR77 receiver, its “Power” LED will light steadily red.
QuickStart
Samson AirLine
8. Turn on your AH1 transmitter. If your system contains an AR1 receiver, its “Power/ RF” LED should change color from red to green, indicating that it is receiving valid RF signal and is placed and positioned correctly. If your system contains either a CR77 one of
the “A/B Receiver” LEDs will be lit, showing you whether the (left) “A” or (right) “B” receiver is currently being used. The CR77 meter will
also indicate the strength of the incoming RF signal.
9. Turn on your connected amplifier and/or mixer but keep its volume all the way down. Make sure the AH1 transmitter is unmuted. Set
the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the receiver fully clockwise; this is unity gain.
10. Speak or sing into your headset microphone (or play the instrument connected to the horn microphone) at a normal performance level
while slowly raising the audio input control of your amplifier or mixer until the desired level is reached.
11. Do a walkaround through the intended area of coverage while observing the receiver’s “Power/RF” LED or RF Meter; it should indicate
sufficient RF reception in all areas of coverage. Reposition it (or its antenna) as necessary. If extended range coverage is required, a Samson
CR77 true diversity receiver (set to the same channel as the transmitter) should be used
12. If you hear any spurious noise from the receiver output when the transmitter is turned off, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust
the receiver Squelch level control, slowly turning it clockwise to the point at which the noise disappears.

1: Antennas (A and B) - The antenna
mountings allow full rotation for
optimum placement. In normal operation, both Antenna A (the antenna on
the left) and Antenna B (the antenna
on the right) should be placed in a
vertical position. Both antennas can
be folded inward for convenience
when transporting the CR77. See the
“Setting Up and Using the AirLine
System” section on page 14 in this
manual for information about antenna
installation and positioning.
2: Volume control - This knob sets
the level of the audio signal being
output through both the balanced and unbalanced output jacks on the rear panel (see #2 and #4 on page 6 in this manual). Reference level
is obtained when the knob is turned fully clockwise (to its “10” setting).
3: Audio Meter - - This “ladder” display (similar to the VU bar meter used on audio devices) indicates the strength of the incoming audio
signal. When the “0” segment is lit, the incoming signal is optimized at unity gain; when the “+6” segment is lit, the signal is overloading.
When only the left-most “-20” segment is lit, the incoming signal is at just 10% of optimum strength. If no segments are lit, little or no signal
is being received. See the “Setting Up and the AirLine System” section on page 14 in this manual for more information.
Guided Tour - CR77 Receiver / Front Panel

4: Squelch control - This control determines the maximum range of the CR77 before audio signal dropout. Although it can be adjusted
using the supplied plastic screwdriver, it should normally be left at its factory setting. See the “Setting Up and Using the AirLine System”
section on page 14 in this manual for more information.
5: A/B Receiver LEDs - When signal is being received, one of these will be lit green, showing you whether the (left) “A” or (right) “B” receiver
is currently being used. The CR77 constantly scans its two antennas and automatically selects whichever is receiving the strongest, clearest
signal. This True Diversity switching is completely inaudible, but it effectively increases overall range while virtually eliminating potential
interference and phase cancellation problems.
6: RF (Radio Frequency) Level meter - This “ladder” display (similar to the VU bar meter used on audio devices) indicates the strength of
the incoming radio signal. When the “100%” segment is lit, the incoming RF signal is fully modulated and at optimum strength. When only
the second most left-most “10%” segment is lit, the incoming signal is at just 10% of optimum strength. If no segments are lit, little or no
signal is being received. See the “Setting Up and Using the AirLine System” section on page 14 in this manual for more information.
7: Power switch - Use this to turn the CR77 power on and off. When the receiver is on, the internal Power LED is lit.
Guided Tour - CR77 Receiver / Rear Panel
Samson AirLine
1: DC input - Connect the supplied 12
volt 160 mA power adapter here, using
the strain relief as shown in the illustration below. WARNING: Do not substitute any other kind of power adapter;
doing so can cause severe damage to
the CR77 and will void your warranty.
2: Unbalanced output* - Use this
unbalanced high impedance (5K Ohm)
1/4" jack when connecting the CR77
to consumer (-10) audio equipment.
Wiring is as follows: tip hot, sleeve
ground.
Using the strain relief: Gather up a loop of wire and pass it through the strain relief,
then pass the adapter plug through the loop in order to create a knot.
3: Audio Output Level switch - Sets
the audio output level attenuation of
the balanced output (see #4 below) to
-20 dBm (line level) or -40 dBm (mic
level). See “Setting Up and Using the
AirLine System” on page 14.
4: Balanced output* - Use this electronically balanced low impedance (600
Ohm) XLR jack when connecting the CR77 to professional (+4) audio equipment. Pin wiring is as follows: Pin 1 ground, Pin 2 high (hot), and
Pin 3 low (cold).
* If required, both the unbalanced and balanced outputs can be used simultaneously.

Guided Tour - AH1 Headset Transmitter
1: Power / Battery LED - This LED flashes once when the AH1 is first turned on and lights steadily red when there is less than 2 hours of battery
power remaining, indicating that the battery needs to be changed.
2: Antenna - This permanently attached flexible antenna should be fully extended during normal operations. See the “Setting Up and Using the
AirLine System” section on page 14 in this manual for more information about antenna positioning.
3: Battery compartment - Insert a standard AAA alkaline battery here, being sure to observe the plus and minus polarity markings shown. We
recommend the Duracell type battery. Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be used, they do not supply adequate current for more than
four hours. WARNING: Do not insert the battery backwards; doing so can cause severe damage to the AH1 and will void your warranty.

4: Mute switch - Move this switch in the direction of the arrow to mute the AH1; move it away from the arrow to unmute it and transmit
audio signal. Because the carrier signal remains during muting, no “pop” or “thud” will be heard. Note that turning this off does not turn
off the transmitter power—it is simply a way to temporarily mute the transmission of audio signal. If you don’t plan on using the AH1 for
extended periods, turn it off power by using the power on-off switch (see #5 below).
5: Power switch - Move this switch in the direction of the arrow to turn power to the AH1 on; move it away from the arrow to turn power
off. (to conserve battery power, be sure to turn the AH1 off when not in use). Be sure to mute the audio signal at your external mixer or
amplifier before turning the AH1 power on or off, or an audible pop may result.

Samson AirLine
Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System
The basic procedure for setting up and using your AirLine System takes only a few minutes:
1. For your AirLine system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be set to the same channel. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and check to make sure that the supplied receiver and transmitter are set to the same channel (a complete channel plan is printed on the inside back cover of this manual). If these channels do not match, contact your distributor or,
if purchased in the United States, Samson Technical Support at 1-800-372-6766.
2. Physically place the receiver where it will be used (the general rule of thumb is to maintain “line of sight” between the receiver and transmitter so that the person using or wearing the transmitter can see the receiver). The CR77 can be rack-mounted if desired (taking a half-rack
space), using an optional Samson adapter kit.
3. Extend the receiver antenna(s) and place it (them) in a vertical position. Make sure the Power on-off switch in your AH1 transmitter is set
to “Off.”
4. Gently pry off the battery cover off the AH1 transmitter and slide it upwards and off to open the battery compartment. Please use care
when opening this cover as undue force will destroy the hinge.
5. Place a fresh AAA alkaline battery in the transmitter battery compartment, taking care to observe the polarity markings. Then replace the
battery cover and gently press down on it until it clicks. Leave the AH1 off for the moment.
6. Make the physical cable connection between the receiver output jack and a mic level audio input of your amplifier or mixer. The balanced XLR jack is preferable, since it will deliver an electromagnetically cleaner signal. If required, both the balanced and unbalanced outputs can be used simultaneously. If your system contains a CR77 receiver, be sure to set its Audio Output Level switch correctly (see
pages 7 and 9 for details). Leave your amplifier (and/or mixer) off at this time.
7. Turn the Volume, Level or AF Level knob on the receiver completely counterclockwise. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the CR77
receiver and plug it in then plug the adapter into any standard AC outlet. Slide the Power switch in the direction of the arrow to turn on
the receiver. If your system contains a CR77 receiver, its "Power" LED will light steadily red.
15
Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System
Samson AirLine
8. Turn on the power to your AH1 transmitter (using its Power on-off switch); the “Power/Battery” LED will flash if the battery is sufficiently
strong (if it lights steadily, the battery has less than 2 hours of power remaining and should be replaced). If your system contains either a
CR77 receiver, one of the "A/B Receiver" LEDs will light, showing you whether the (left) "A" or (right) "B" receiver is currently being
used. The CR77 meter will also indicate the strength of the incoming RF signal.
9. Now it’s time to set the audio levels. Turn on your connected amplifier and/or mixer but keep its volume all the way down. Make sure
that the AH1 transmitter is unmuted (its Mute switch should be positioned away from the arrrow). Then set the Volume, Level or AF Level
knob on the receiver fully clockwise; this is unity gain.
10. Speak or sing into your headset mic (or play the instrument to which the horn mic is attached) at a normal performance level while
slowly raising the volume of your amplifier and/or mixer until the desired level is reached.
11. If you hear distortion at the desired volume level, first check to see whether the “Peak” LED on the receiver is lit . If it is not lit, make sure
that the gain structure of your audio system is correctly set (consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details). If the
“Peak” LED is lit, simply move the microphone further from your mouth.
12. Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level, again make sure that the gain structure of your audio system
is correctly set (consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details) and that the Volume, Level or AF Level control of the
receiver is fully clockwise. If it is and the signal coming from the receiver is still weak and/or noisy, simply position the microphone closer to
your mouth.
13. Temporarily turn down the level of your mixer/amplifier system and turn off the power to your transmitter, leaving the receiver on. Then
restore the previously set level of your mixer/amplifier. With the transmitter off, the receiver output should be totally silent—if it is, skip
ahead to the next step. If it isn’t (that is, if you hear some noise), you may need to adjust the receiver Squelch control. When the Squelch
control is at its minimum setting, the AirLine system always provides maximum range without dropout; however, depending upon the particular environment your system is used in, you may need to reduce that range somewhat in order to eliminate band noise when the AH1
16
Samson AirLine
Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System
transmitter is turned off. To do so, use the provided screwdriver to rotate the Squelch control completely counterclockwise (to the “Min”
position), then slowly turn it clockwise until the noise disappears. If no noise is present at any position, leave it at its fully counterclockwise
“Min” position (so as to have the greatest overall range available).
14. When first setting up your AirLine System in a new environment, it’s always a good idea to do a walkaround in order to make sure that
coverage is provided for your entire performance area. Accordingly, turn down the level of your audio system and turn on both the transmitter and receiver. Then, with the transmitter unmuted, restore the level of your audio system and while speaking or singing, walk through
the entire area that will need to be covered. As you do so, observe the RF display or meter on the receiver to make sure that it is receiving
sufficiently strong RF signal (in the CR77 receivers, all segments of the RF Level meter should be lit). Always try to minimize the
distance between transmitter and receiver as much as possible so that the strongest possible signal is received from all planned transmission points. In certain environments, it may be desirable to angle the receiver antenna(s) differently from the vertical position. Where
extended range coverage is required, the Samson CR77 true diversity receiver (set to the same channel as the transmitter) should be used.
If you have followed all the steps above and are experiencing difficulties, contact your local distributor or, if purchased in the United States,
call Samson Technical Support (1-800-372-6766) between 9 AM and 5 PM EST.
