Quick Start1. Plug the RXD1 USB receiver into a USB jack on a wirelessly enable Samson audio device or to a USB port on a computer. Note: When using the Stage XPD1 wireless system with a computer, you must set the computer’s audio input device to “Samson RXD Wireless Receiver”. In most computer operating systems, an audio software must be used to record or monitor the audio from the USB receiver. 2. Place a fresh set of AA (LR6) batteries in the transmitter battery holder, taking care to observe the polarity markings.3. Turn the wireless level knob on the audio device completely counterclockwise, then turn the power of the audio device to the ON position.4. Turn on the power to the transmitter by pressing and holding Power switch; the indicator LED will light amber.5. If the transmitter and receiver have not been previously paired, press and hold the button on the RXD1 receiver for >5 seconds, until it begins to flash. Press and continue to hold the Power button on the transmitter until the LED indicators on both units light steady, indicating that the receiver and transmitter are paired and ready for operation. 6. Speak or sing into the microphone at a normal performance level and raise the wireless level control until the desired level is reached. For best signal-to-noise operation, set the input Gain control as high as possible without overloading.7. If you hear distortion turn down the wireless level on the audio device. If distortion is still audible, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn the Gain control in the PXD1 transmitter slowly counterclockwise until the distortion disappears.8. Conversely, if you hear a weak, noisy signal at the desired volume level and with the wireless level control of the audio device is set to maximum, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to turn the Gain control in the PXD1 transmitter slowly clockwise until the signal reaches an acceptable level.Using the Stage XPD1 in Wireless Environments• The device that the Stage XPD1 receiver is connected should be placed at least 15’ from a wireless router.• Range can decrease in the presence of a strong 2.4GHz wireless network.• Range can decrease in the presence of many Bluetooth devices.• Re-pair the transmitter and receiver if you are experiencing dropouts or a reduction of the overall range.
