Installation
BNC cable wiring pattern
There are 3 patterns of BNC cable wiring. Wire according to the installation environment.
• Use “HEX14” for BNC nut size.
• Tighten the BNC nut until it is snug. Failure to do so may damage the main unit.

Installation
Mounting/removing the product
Mounting
• When using an electric screwdriver, make sure to use one with a clutch.
• Set the torque to the minimum setting and tighten the screws carefully to avoid deformation. If you tighten the screws too much, the mounting
bracket may be damaged.
• When using 3.5 mm diameter or #6 screws, use a washer.
1. Use the included wood screws to mount the bracket to the wall.
2. Install the main unit into the bracket.
3. Push the main unit until the mounting bracket removal button on each side clicks.
4. Make sure that the main unit is securely fixed in place.
• The main unit is not fixed firmly if either of the mounting bracket removal buttons is pushed in.
5. After installation is complete, attach the BNC cable to a wireless receiver.

Gain switch settings
Consider environmental factors such as cable loss and the receiver’s reception level when selecting the gain settings.
-10 dB When the reception level is sufficiently high, it is possible to reduce potential interference and noise from adjacent
channels. Please note that this reduces the reception level, therefore reducing the range in which the wireless
microphone can function.
0 dB (default) The signal will receive no additional gain. Use this setting when the receiver’s reception level is sufficiently high.
+6 dB, +12 dB Use this to compensate for cable loss. Cable loss varies depending on the cable type, frequency and length; refer
to the table below when choosing the appropriate settings.
