Channel Setting
1. Press and release SET button until the CHANNEL | FREQUENCYpage appears.
2. Press p(UP) or q(DOWN) button to change the channel number. The corresponding frequencywill change
accordingly. 5 seconds aer selecting a channel, it will be automatically saved.
For an interference- free operation, a cleaner channel might be necessary if the current one receives too much
interference. To select a new channel:
Channel Scanning
For an interference-free operation, a cleaner channel might be necessary if the current one receives too much
interference. Before scanning, the transmitter must be switched o.
1. Press and release SET button until the AUTO SCAN page appears.
2. Press p(UP) or q(DOWN) button to nd a clear, interference-free channel. 5 seconds aer selecting a channel,
it will be automatically saved.

Sync Channel from Receiver ÚTransmitter
Channel Synchronising ofthe Receiver and Transmitter
STEP 1: Press the SYNC button of the receiver.
STEP 2: The receiver’s LCD will display IRDA DATA SEND to
denote synchronising signal being sent.
STEP 3: The channel/frequency of the transmitterwill
change. Synchronisation is complete when the LCD displays
PLL CHANNEL COPIED BY IRDA.
STEP 4: Please try again if LCD displays IRDA SEND FAIL..
Sync Channel from Transmitter ÚReceiver
STEP 1: Press the synchronising button of the
transmitter.
STEP 2: The transmitter’s LED will glow to denote
transmitting the frequencyto the receiver and
synchronising the channels.
STEP 3: The channel/frequency of the receiver will
change and then the synchronisation is complete.
If it doesn’t work check that you have the IR sensor panels aligned, that they are facing each other, devices are within
30cm of each other, and try again.
Align infrared areas of the receiver and transmitter within 10~30cm.

Adjusting Squelch Level
Since increasing the squelch level will also reduce the reception distance, it’s recommended to choose the lowest level
that can eliminate the interference.
If this still does not solve the problem it means this frequency is not suitable. Adjust the squelch back to its preset level
and use the scan function to locate a clear, interference-free channel.
When interference is encountered try reducing the sensitivity of the receiver, thus making it less susceptible
to interference.
1. Press and release SET button until the SQUELCH SETUP page appears.
2. Press p(UP) or q(DOWN) button to choose a new level between 1 and 10.
5 seconds aer selecting a level, it will be automatically saved.
Receiver Installation
For best operation, the receiver should be at least 1m above the ground and 1m away
from a wall or metal surface to minimise reections. The transmitter should also be
at least 1m away from a wall or metal surface to minimise reections. The transmitter
should also be at least 1m away from the receiver. Keep antennas away from noise
source such as motors, automobiles, neon light and large metal objects.

Rack Mounting
The receiver can be cabinet-mounted by either one or two units. If only one receiver is to be mounted, an optional kit is
available and it’s installed as shown in Fig 1. If two receivers are to be mounted, they can be assembled by another kit and
installed as shown in Fig 2.

OPERATION MANUAL V1.0 PAGE 7
Audio Output Connection
There are two audio outputs on the back of the receiver, Mic-level balanced and Line-level unbalanced.
Use shielded audio cable for the connection between the receiver and the amplier/mixer. If the amplier/mixer has
a 1/4”(6.3mm) phone jack, connect a cable from the 1/4”(6.3mm) unbalanced audio output from the receiver to the
amplier/mixer.
If the amplier/mixer has an XLR input, connect a cable from the balanced XLR audio output from the receiver to the
amplier/mixer input.

Battery Installation and Indicator
This microphone requires 2 x AA batteries to operate.
To install, remove the battery cover and slide the batteries according to the correct polarity into the battery
compartment and replace the battery cover.
Note: Batteries contain a corrosive acid that may leak and damage the microphone when stored for a long period.
Batteries should be removed from the microphone if it is not to be used for a prolong period of about 4 weeks or more.
When the microphone is switched ON a blue LED (2) will blink once to indicate the batteries installed are in good
condition. Ifthe LED remains illuminated, it means the batteries are weak and replacement is required.
Channel Setting
1. Use MENU button (5) to go to the CHANNEL | BATTERY STATUS page.
2. The upper-right channel number will ash to allow changes to be made.
3. Press SET button to change the channel number. 5 seconds aer selecting a channel, it will be automatically saved.
BatteryType Setting
1. Use MENU button (5) to go to the BATTERYTYPE page.
2. Press SET button (6) for 3 seconds, then the cursor Ù will ash to allow changes to be made.
3. Press SET button to select either NiMH (rechargeable battery) or AKLN (alkaline battery). 5 seconds aer selecting
a battery type, it will be automatically saved.
Important: NiMH battery must be selected when rechargeable battery is being used. Never select AKLN (alkaline) when
microphone is intended for charging as alkaline battery isn’t rechargeable. Wrong battery selection will result in battery
sensing electronics to display wrong and misleading status information.
