Quick start
1. Connect the supplied power adapter (12V/1A) and antennas to the receiver.
2. Connect another power adapter (12V/1A) to the charger station.
3. Connect the microphone sound to your karaoke player, mixer or mixing amplifier.
4. Turn on the receiver and select desired channels for both microphones.
5. Install rechargeable batteries in microphones and turn them on.
6. Press SET button on the left side of the receiver and align the microphone towards the
receiver to set the frequency.
7. Press SET button on the right side of the receiver and align another microphone towards
the receiver to set the frequency.
8. Adjust the microphone volume to value of 18 using VOL buttons on the receiver.
9. Adjust the microphone volume on the mixer and check the microphone sound. If the
sound is too weak, increase the amplifier’s volume. If the microphone sound is distorted,
decrease the volume on the receiver and increase volume on the amplifier.
Notice:
ŸAV amplifiers don’t have microphone inputs, so you cannot connect the receiver directly to your AV
amplifier. If your AV amplifier have microphone input it’s usually used for automatic adjustment of the
system.
ŸMicrophone frequency won’t change automatically when changed on the receiver. You must send the
frequency using SET button on the receiver and align the microphone towards the receiver.

microphone input of the mixer. Lower the volume from the receiver if microphone sound
is distorted.
2. CHANNEL: Set microphone channel frequency by pressing shortly. Left side have
channels 0 - 16 ja right side have channels 17 - 33. Notice! If you keep CHANNEL -
button pressed, receiver scans the frequency range and sets the channel which have
minimum interference.
3. SET/LOCK: Press shortly to send the frequency of the channel to the microphone using
IR transmitter. Align the microphone towards the receiver during sync. You can lock
receiver’s buttons by keeping the button pressed long time. ”LC” on the display indicates
that buttons are locked. Remove the lock by keeping the button pressed again. ”LC 0"
on the display indicates that the lock is removed.
4. POWER BUTTON: Keep the button pressed to turn the power on or off.
5. RF/AF: RF indicates wireless signal strength and AF indicates audio signal level of the
microphone channel.
6. FREQUENCY: Currently used frequency of the microphone channel.
7. IR TRANSMITTER: Receiver can send the frequency to the microphone using IR
transmitter. Aling the microphone towards this point during sync.

Functions
1. GRILL: Removable metal grill protects a cartridge from damage and an inner foam filter
reduces wind, breath and pop noises.
2. IR: IR receiver for setting the frequency of the microphone. Align this point towards the
receiver during sync.
3. DISPLAY: Display indicates currently used frequency and battery level. If the battery level
indicator is blinking, it means the battery level is low. Low battery level may cause
dropouts or completely signal loss. Please charge the batteries immediately.
4. POWER BUTTON: Keep the button pressed a moment to turn the microphone on or off.
5. BATTERY COVER: Battery compartment for two rechargeable ’AA’ batteries. Remove
batteries if the microphone is not used for long time.
6. CHARGING CONTACTS: Charging contacts on the bottom of the wireless microphone.
Do not charge non-chargeable batteries!
Operation
1. Open the battery cover by turning the cover counterclockwise. Install two rechargeable
’AA’ batteries and close the cover. Pay attention to the correct polarity.
2. Turn on the microphone by keeping the power button pressed awhile. Currently used
frequency is shown on the display.
3. Check that the microphone’s and receiver’s frequencies are same. If the frequency
doesn’t match, send the frequency by shortly pressing the SET button on the receiver
and align the microphone towards the receiver.
4. Receiver’s RF level indicator should turn on now to indicate connection between the
wireless microphone and the receiver.
5. Turn off the microphone by keeping the power button pressed awhile.
Please handle the wireless microphone with care.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by accidental
misuse of the product.
Notice:
ŸReceiver’s channel A have frequency channels of 0-16 and channel B have frequency channels
of 17-33. Microphones are not limited to work only at channel A or B, so both microphones can
be set to channel 0 to 33.
ŸMake sure that both microphones are not set at same frequency channel. This will cause signal
degration and complete signal loss.
ŸThe microphone frequency is always changed by pressing SET button on the receiver. You
cannot change the frequency from microphone.

Operations Before Connecting the Receiver
1. Install antennas to the back panel of the receiver.

Getting Connected
11
Connection can be made from mixed output (MIX A+B) using the supplied unbalanced 1/4"
TS plug cable. In this case both microphones are connected using only one cable, so it’s
not possible to change microphone sound settings individually for each channel in the
mixer. Please check the connection example on the page 12.
Alternatively both microphones can be connected separately to the mixer using Balanced
Outputs. In this case two cables are used to make the connection, so it’s possible to
change microphone sounds settings individually for each channel in the mixer. The
connection can be made using the following cables depending on the microphone input
connector type:
ŸXLR female - unbalanced 1/4" TS plug cable,
ŸXLR female - XLR male cable,
ŸXLR female - balanced 1/4" TRS plug cable
The last two of the cables are balanced, which reduces interference picked up on the
cables. Please check the connection examples on the page 13-15.
Connecting the Microphones
Install the batteries and turn on the microphone. Press SET button on channel A on the
receiver and align the microphone towards the receiver. Check the frequency on the
microphone. Repeat the procedure for another microphone, but this time press SET button
on the channel B.
