16Turn on your connected amplifier or mixer, but keep the volume all the way down. Set the Volume knob on the CR88 fully clockwise (to its “10” setting). This is unity gain. Speak or sing into the microphone, or if you are using the transmitter with a con-nected instrument, play the instrument at normal performance level. Slowly raise the volume of your amplifier or mixer until the desired level is reached. If you find the system has noticeable dropouts, reduced overall working range, or unexpected noise bursts, change the operating channel of the system using the steps above.

19Concert 88 Wireless SystemThe CR88 receiver can be installed into a standard 19” rack for transport or per-manent installation using the included rack ears. Follow the simple steps below to mount the CR88:Attach the included rack ears by sliding each rack ear into the groove on either side of the CR88 until they lock into place, and the receiver flush with the front panel.Position the CR88 receiver into an available rack space and slide in until the rack ears are touching the rails of the rack case and are aligned with the rack rail holes. Mount the receiver into the rack using the appropriate size rack screws (not includ-ed). To ensure equal tension and balance when installing the receiver, you should secure screws in a crisscross pattern of opposite corners: top left -> bottom right -> top right -> bottom left. In order to mount two CR88 receiv-ers in one rack space, the system includes a center connection piece. Slide the center connection piece into the groove of each receiver and attach the short rack ears to each receiver. Mount the receivers into the rack using the crisscross pattern described above.Rack Mounting

21Concert 88 Wireless SystemTroubleshootingIssue SolutionsNo AudioMake sure that the transmitter and receiver are both powered on.Ensure the transmitter’s batteries are installed correctly.Check that the transmitter is not muted.Confirm that the CR88 adaptor is correctly connected and plugged into an electrical outlet.Turn on the CR88 receiver.Make sure the CR88 audio output connections are se-curely connected.Ensure that the receiver and transmitter are in line of sight with one another. Check the receiver and audio input device level controls. Ensure that the transmitter and receiver are set to the same operating channel. If unsure, reset the channel by performing an IR set. Distorted AudioThe receiver output level or audio input device level may be too high.Check the transmitters batteries, and replace if low.The input gain on the transmitter (CB88) or audio source level may be too high. Audio DropoutThe transmitter may be too far away from the receiver. Move it closer to the receiver, or reposition the antennas.Remove any sources that may cause RF interference such as cell phones, cordless phones, lighting equipment, com-puters, metal structures, etc.Receiver will not power onCheck the adaptor to ensure it is properly connected and plugged into an outlet providing power. Transmitter will not power on (LED lights RED)Replace the transmitter batteries. Unwanted noise or interferenceIf using multiple systems, make sure none of the systems are operating on the same channel. If the problem per-sists, change one or all of the systems channels.
