INSTALLATION LOCATION GUIDELINES
There are many factors that can affect and/or interrupt the wireless UHF signal. These factors can include
walls, glass, metal objects and surfaces, other digital or electronic devices (CD/DVD/Media players,
computers, laptops, Wi-Fi devices, cell phones, wireless phones, two-way radio communication devices, and
wireless remote controls), electronic appliances, and people.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to position the wireless receiver away from the above-mentioned items
and a minimum of 3.0 ft. (1m) above audiences and/or above ground level. Careful planning and testing of the
selected installation location is critical to ensure optimum and reliable wireless operation.
USING MULTIPLE WM-219 UNITS AT THE SAME TIME
When using multiple WM-219 units at the same time within 100 meters of each other, a different frequency
must be set for each microphone to avoid inference issues.
3.0 ft (1m)

OPERATION
MANUAL FREQUENCY SETTING
1. Select one of the microphones and power it ON.
2. On the receiver, press the SET button for channel A or B and CH: will begin flashing the current frequency
set for that channel on the LED display. Immediately press the SCAN or ACT buttons for the same channel (A
or B) to scroll up or down the 100 total frequency presets.
3. Press the SET button to select/lock a desired frequency for the channel (A or B).
4. Hold the desired microphone close to the wireless receiver so both the infrared receiver on the microphone
and the infrared transmitter on the wireless receiver are in a direct unobstructed line of sight. Press the ACT
button for the selected frequency to be transmitted to the microphone.
5. Confirm the desired frequency was set by pushing the power button on the microphone to toggle between
CH and MHz on the LED display. If successful, the CH and MHz on the receiver channel and on the
microphone should match.
6. Repeat this process for the other channel and microphone or repeat this process again if there are any
issues.
7. Adjust the volume control dials for each channel (A&B) accordingly and test.

ROHS - A great Contribution to the Conservation of Environment
Dear Customer,
The European Union has adopted a directive on the restriction / prohibition of the use of hazardous
substances. This directive, referred to as ROHS, is a frequently discussed topic in the electronic industry.
It restricts, among other things, six materials: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (CR VI),
cadmium (Cd), polybrimated biphenyls as flame retardant (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl, also a flame
retardant (PBDE). The directive applies to nearly all electronic and electrical devices whose mode of operation
involves electric or electromagnetic fields –in short: each kind of electronics we have around us in our
households or at work.
As manufacturers of products of the brands of AMERICAN AUDIO, AMERICAN DJ, ELATION Professional
and ACCLAIM Lighting, we are obligated to comply with the RoHS directive. Therefore, as early as two years
prior to the directive coming into force, we started our search for alternative environmentally friendly materials
and manufacturing processes.
Well before the RoHS directive took effect, all of our products were manufactured meeting the standards of the
European Union. With regular audits and material tests we can still assure that the components we use are
always RoHS-compliant and that the manufacturing process, as far as the state of technology allows, is
environmentally friendly.
The ROHS directive is an important step to the protection of our environment. We, as manufactures, feel
obligated to make our contribution in this respect.
A.D.J. Supply Europe B.V. –www.adj.eu –WM 219 Instruction Manual Page 12
WEEE –Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Every year thousands of tonnes of electronic components, which are harmful to the environment, end up at the
waste disposals around the world. To ensure the best possible disposal or recovery of electronic components,
the European Union has adopted the WEEE directive.
The WEEE-system (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) can be compared with the system of the
“Green Spot”, which has been in use for several years. The manufactures have to make their contribution to
the utilization of waste at the time they release the product. Money resources obtained by doing so will be
applied to develop a common system of waste management. Thereby we can ensure professional and
environmentally friendly scraping and recycling program.
As manufactures, we are part of the German system of EAR and we make our contribution towards it.
(Registration in Germany: DE41027552)
That means that products of AMERICAN DJ and AMERICAN AUDIO can be left in the collection points free of
charge and they will be used in the recycling program. Products of ELATION Professional, which are used
only by professionals, shall be handled by us. Please send Elation products directly to us at the end of their
lifetime so that we can professionally dispose of them.
Like the above ROHS, the WEEE directive is an important contribution to the environment protection and we
are glad to help to clean the environment with this disposal system.
We are happy to answer any of your inquiries and welcome your suggestions at: info@americandj.eu
