To start signal transmission with the selected channel, turn off the power and then turn it on again.To set the group/channel using the pairing mode of the Cross RemoteWhen the transmitter is paired with the receiver, the transmission channel of the transmitter is set to the receiving channel on the receiver automatically.For details, see“Pairing with a receiver” on page 7.Using the Cross RemoteThis transmitter is equipped with a wireless remote control function that can be used to set the parameters (low-cut filter, attenuation operation, power save mode, etc.) of the transmitter through the receiver or other devices. This function makes it easier to operate and manage the microphone system while in the field.This wireless control is 2.4-GHz IEEE802.15.4 compliant and has no effect on the RF band of digital wireless audio.This function is activated when pairing is established between the transmitter and the receiver using the RF REMOTE function. Pairing must be done first before the wireless remote control function can be used. If “RESTRICTED BY GP/CH SETTING” appears on the RF REMOTE screen, the wireless remote control function cannot be used. To use the wireless remote control function, select a different transmission channel.For details on how to change the transmission channel, see “Setting the Transmission Channel” on page 6.Pairing with a receiverPairing links the transmitter with the receiver for which the wireless remote control function is to be used.When the transmitter has been paired with a receiver through the receiver operation, turning on the transmitter while holding down the – button establishes the pairing immediately.To carry out pairing through menu operations on the transmitter, do the following.1Set the receiver to be used for controlling the transmitter to pairing mode.For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.2Press the + or – button repeatedly until the RF REMOTE indication is displayed.3Hold down the SET button until the item to be set flashes.4Press the + or – button repeatedly to select PAIRING.5Press the SET button to enter.The transmitter sends a pairing request to the receiver which is on pairing mode.Before established pairing, if you press any operation key on the transmitter, pairing mode will be cancelled.When pairing has been established, the wireless remote control condition level (indicated by ) NoteNote

To use the wireless remote control function with another receiver, you must perform the pairing procedure for that receiver.• Multiple transmitters cannot be paired with the same receiver. • If you reset all parameters by using the FACTORY PRESET function (see page 14), the pairing setting of the transmitter is also cleared.The following transmitter settings can be done from the remote control:• Transmitter name setting• Frequency band/group/channel selection• RF transmission power setting• MIC/LINE setting and attenuator setting for audio input level• Low-cut filter setting• Power save setting• +48 V power supply setting• Resetting accumulated use time• Audio codec mode setting• Internal signal setting• POWER switch lock settingFor details on menu operation, see “Setting Menus” on page 11.To perform remote control, the receiver must be equipped with a control function for the setting you want to control. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.To cancel the Cross RemoteIn the RF REMOTE indication, select OFF.Notes on the Cross RemoteThe wireless remote control function on the transmitter uses the 2.4-GHz band and may thus be subject to interference from other devices.• When pairing fails (“Pairing fail” is displayed), successful communication between the transmitter and the receiver has not occurred within a given amount of time. Pairing may be harder to do when another receiver is engaged in pairing nearby. • When it becomes hard to use the remote control, the remote control may be improved by switching the wireless remote control function off, then on again in the RF REMOTE indication, then re-pairing with the transmitter (change to a channel with less interference).Using the Encrypted Transmission FunctionTo prevent hacking of the signal, the transmitter scrambles the signal during transmission. To use this function, select one of the following encrypted transmission modes:Secure key mode: An encryption key that is automatically generated by the transmitter is used by both the transmitter and receiver in this one-to-one encrypted transmission method.Password mode: You choose a password of up to eight characters that can be set for multiple transmitters and receivers. This enables encrypted transmission within a group. Make sure the same mode is set on the transmitter and receiver.Using secure key mode (SECURE KEY)Use this mode for one-to-one encrypted transmission between one transmitter and one receiver.An encryption key that cannot be read from the outside is automatically generated by the transmitter. This key is transmitted to the receiver through a USB connection or the RF REMOTE function, enabling encrypted transmission to take place.The encryption key used by the transmitter and receiver is newly generated for each key transmission, resulting in highly secure communication.The encryption key used between the transmitter and the receiver is saved when the power is turned off, so the encrypted transmission can be resumed the next time the power is turned on.1Preparing the transmitter (this unit)1Hold down the SET button until the item to be set flashes in the ENCRYPTION indication on the transmitter.2Press the + or – button repeatedly to select SECURE KEY, and then press the SET button.2Preparing the receiverSelect SECURE KEY on the receiver that receives the encryption key.For details on receiver operations, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.3Exchanging the encryption keyOn the receiver, select USB or REMOTE (wireless remote) as the method for encryption key exchange.NotesNote

9When the RF REMOTE function is off, REMOTE cannot be selected. When the receiver does not support encryption key exchange through USB connection, select REMOTE.When you select USB: Connect the transmitter to the receiver using a USB cable (not supplied) and the USB adapter cable (supplied).For details on receiver operations, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.When you select REMOTE: The transmitter searches for a receiver that it has been paired with. After the transmitter detects the receiver, the transmitter exchanges the encryption key with receiver and encrypted transmission begins.Using password mode (PASSWORD)Set this mode when multiple transmitters are paired with multiple receivers for encrypted transmission.If both transmitters and receivers are set with the same user-designated password, the audio signal can be decoded. This mode is useful when multiple transmitters and receivers are used as a single group, or when the audio signal from one transmitter is received by multiple receivers at the same time.1Hold down the SET button until the item to be set flashes in the ENCRYPTION indication on the transmitter.2Press the + or – button repeatedly to select PASSWORD, and then press the SET button.3Input a password of up to eight characters on the transmitter.To enter a password, use the procedure described in “Naming of transmitter (NAME)” on page 11.4Set the encrypted transmission function setting on the receiver to PASSWORD.5Set the same password that was set on the transmitter.For details on receiver operations, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
