3. Audio Output Connection: a. Unbalanced Level Switch Setting Position: Make sure to match the unbalanced output setting to the device input setting. The incorrect setting could result in low sensitivity level or over load distortion. Ex. (If you are going into the “Line” input on a mixer or amplifier then the switch should be set to the high position. If you are going into the “Mic” input of an amplifier or mixer then the switch should be set to the low position.) b. Unbalanced Output:

Setup for dual half-rack receivers 1. Remove the screws at the top and bottom of the receiver where they will be joined together. Remove one steel plate from each receiver. Push the receivers next to each other. Refer to Figure 6. 2. Insert the steel plate in between the two receivers (top an

brackets (RM-12) on the outer sides of both receivers as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6 4. After completion, it can be rackmounted into an EIA standard rack case. Shown in Figure 7. 5. Make sure that the system performs correctly by placing the system away from noise sources. Place the receiver at least one meter above the ground and one meter away from noise sources. Place the microphone at least one meter away from the receiving antenna, as shown in Figure 8. Figure 7 Figure 8 8

4. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Turn the volume controls of the receiver and device in use to a minimum setting before turning on the microphone transmitter. After the receivers power switch is set to the on position, the power switch’s red indicator illuminates to denote normal power status. 2. If the SIGNAL LED indicators of the receiver are illuminated before switching on the microphone or transmitter, it indicates the receiver is receiving interference signals. The more LEDs that illum

microphone the AUDIO LED indicators will illuminate according to the strength of sound level. If the LEDs do not illuminate or sound is not present at the output, the system is not functioning properly and must be checked. 4. Receiver and Amplifier Volume Adjustment: a. Single-channel Unbalanced Audio Output: Switch the level switch on the rear panel of the receiver to the left “LOW” Position, then adjust the volume control to twelve o’clock position. Adjust the volume control of the am

IN” input jack of the amplifier or mixer. Adjust the volume controls of the amplifier or mixer to the same desired level, then properly fine adjust the receiver volume control to match the same sensitivity as the wired microphone. d. If the receiver output level is adjusted to a level that is near the maximum input level of the desired device, it will cause saturation distortion of the device when the receiver output level is increased due to a increase in level by the sound source.

5. Caution 1. Since the installation of the antenna influences the operating efficiency of the receiver, the most important rule is to minimize the distance as much as possible between the receiving antenna and the microphone for the best reception and performance. 2. The output voltage of the external DC power supply should not be below 12V, otherwise it will not work properly. If the voltage is over 15V some components of the receiver will be damaged due to excessive current draw. Use

Insert a 9V battery into the battery compartment according to the correct polarity as shown in Figure12. The moment the battery touches the terminals of the compartment, the indicator will flash briefly. This means the polarity is correct. However, if no flash occurs, this indicates wrong insertion or battery is dead. Please re-insert the battery according to its correct polarity or exchange
