⑦ Audio Input Level Indicator |
|
Perform a sound check. Use the audio gain control located on the side (FP1) or front (FP3) of the unit to adjust the gain up (+) or down (−) until desired level is reached.
FP3 only: Adjust so the audio input level indicator flickers yellow at peak sound levels.
The handheld transmitter normally does not require adjustment and should be left at 0dB for most applications. Only use the –10dB setting for loud singing or other high SPL applications if there is noticable distortion.
Access the gain adjustment switch by unscrewing the head of the microphone. Use the tip of a pen or a small screwdriver to move the switch:
0dB: For normal use.
–10dB: Use only if audio distorts due to high SPL levels.
Press and hold the scan button for 3 seconds. After the scan completes, the new group and channel is automatically activated and saved.
Align the transmitter and receiver infrared (IR) ports and press the sync button.
After a successful sync, the transmitter LED momentarily flashes and the blue RF LED illuminates.
Use the following steps to ensure the best performance when using multiple wireless systems at the same location.
Note: Turn on any other digital equipment that could cause interference during the performance so it will be detected during the frequency scans in the following steps.
For each additional system:
Important: After syncing each transmitter, leave it on so that scans from the other receivers do not select that channel. Be sure only one transmitter IR port is exposed when synchronizing each system.
Important: Most single-system applications do not require manual group or channel settings--use an automatic frequency scan instead. However, it may be useful for some applications, such as to tune to and record audio directly from a microphone in a compatible wireless installation.
To set the group:
To set the channel:
Note: Remember to sync the transmitter to the receiver.
If you experience RF interference, switch to a new channel using the channel or group scan.
Channel scan: Press the scan button on the receiver. Switches to new channel in the same group.
Group scan: Press and hold the scan button for 3 seconds. Finds a new group and selects an open channel in that group. (Do not use in multiple system setups unless all systems are moved to the same group.)
Locking the transmitter prevents accidental changes during performances.
To lock the controls: With the transmitter off, hold the power button down until the green LED flashes (~5 seconds)
To unlock the controls: With the transmitter on, hold the power button down until the green LED flashes (~5 seconds)
| Issue | Indicator Status | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound or faint sound | Transmitter power light on, receiver blue RF LED off | Sync the transmitter to the receiver |
| Move closer to and maintain line-of-sight with the transmitter. Move away from metal surfaces and digital equipment. | ||
| Transmitter power light on, receiver blue RF LED on | Verify all sound system connections | |
| Adjust gain settings on the transmitter and receiver. Make sure the handheld transmitter gain is at the 0dB setting. | ||
| Receiver power LED off, red, or blinking red | Insert fresh batteries or power on the receiver | |
| Transmitter power LED red or flashing red | Replace transmitter batteries | |
