Select the desired channel number with the SET key, and once the desired number is reached, release the SET key. After about 5 seconds, the receiver automatically sets channel and the blinking number turns to steady light. Tip Continuous or each depression of the SET key permits the display to cycle through the channel numbers. On the receiver side, when the dot LED by the channel number LED is blinking at selecting channel number, this means that the channel has already been occupied. Note Make sure that the transmitter is identical to the receiver in the channel number. Should the microphone's setting differ from that of the receiver, the receiver does not receive the radio signal from the transmitter. On the transmitter side, the power switch turns on, the channel number display turns on the light for about 30 seconds, and then this display turns off the light. When SET key presses in this condition, this display turns on the light for about 30 seconds. 7. CHANNEL NUMBER SETTING by INFRARED SYNCHRONIZATION Step 1. Confirm that the receiver is set the channel number and the transmitter is turned the power on, and open the battery case on the transmitter. Step 2. Bring the IR port in the transmitter within 20cm of IR port on the receiver. Step 3. Press the SYNC key on the receiver for about 3 seconds. When the channel data be transmitted successfully from the IR port on the receiver, the displayed channel number flashes. Step 4. When the channel number are synchronized successfully between the receiver and the transmitter, the displayed channel number in the transmitter blinks for about 3 seconds, Note On the transmitter side, even if the channel number display turns off the light, the display turns on again when IR synchronization succeeds. 8. CHANNEL SCAN Step 1. Press the SET key and the SYNC key at the same time for about 3 seconds. Channel scan begins, and an idle channel number is indicated blinking on the channel number display. Step 2. After channel scan finishes, the idle channels are displayed in turn. Step 3. Press the SET key and the SYNC key at the same time, the receiver sets the idle channel automatically. Note Before starting the channel scan, turn off all transmitters and any other equipment that could cause the interference during the performance so it will be detected during the channel scan. If there are no idle channels, the channel number is displayed blinking as a “-“. And then the channel before starting the channel scan is set again. Multiple System Setup Set up each system one at a time, confirm each system is assigned a different channel, and leave the transmitter powered on. Otherwise, the channel scan from the other receiver will not detect as the occupied channel. 9. BATTERY ALARM INDICATON • When the battery capacity in the corresponding transmitter becomes low, the dot LED of the numerical LED on the receiver and the transmitter blinks. Replace the transmitter battery. 10 10. OPERATIONAL HINTS • The transmitter's service distance is 3 – 100 m. When the transmitter user moves in a facility, signal dropouts (momentary losses of signal reception) may be encountered. These dropouts are caused by the building's architectural designs or materials which block the travel of or reflect the radio signal. If this occurs, the user needs to change locations for better signal reception. • Confirm the good line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. Do not place the large obstructions (ex. Concrete walls or large metal obstructions) between the transmitter and the receiver. In addition keep the receiver away from the metallic beams and obstructions as these can adversely affect the antenna pickup pattern and induce the interference. • The proper operation of your wireless system may be interfered with by other system operating on the same frequency. In such cases, change the operating frequency of your system. • Hold the microphone within 20cm from the sound source. Move the microphone closer for a warmer sound increased. And do not cover the grille with hand. • Keep your mouth 15 – 20 cm away from the lavalier microphone for the best possible sound reproduction. In case of the Omni-directional response, it will pick up sounds from all directions. It is better that the microphone is placed closer to the sound source. Take care not to bring your mouth too close to the microphone (within 5 cm) as this impairs speech clarity if you speak loudly. • In case of the headset microphone, by adjusting the gooseneck, locate the microphone with the supplied windscreen in front of your mouth, and position it 3 – 5 cm away from your mouth for the best sound reproduction. When the microphone is too close to your mouth or you speak too loud, speech clarity will be impaired, making it hard for the audience to hear announcements. 11. TROUBLESHOOTING Issue Condition Solution No sound Receiver Reception lamps [either A or B] or RF signal level meter lights. Confirm the connections of all sound system or gain AF peak lamp [PEAK] indicates. Confirm the transmitter gain or PAD. Sound distorted Confirm the receiver volume control. Confirm the receiver volume control. Confirm the receiver output level match to the input level of the mixer / amplifier. Poor range or sound dropouts Receiver Reception lamps [A and B] are flicking or RF signal level meter turn light off.. The system must be set up within recommended range. The transmitter must be used in line of sight from the receiver. Check the channel scan, confirm nearby source of interference, and change the receiver and the transmitter to a different channel. Confirm the battery indication, and replace the transmitter battery. 11 12.
