2. AC/DC Power Connection:
Figure 3
Connect the AC/DC adapter cable to the DC 12V
input jack. Then plug the adapter unit into an
appropriate AC outlet as shown in Figure 3. Caution:
Make sure the correct voltage is present at the AC
outlet as indicated on the AC/DC adapter.
5
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:
Connect the 1/4" phone plug of the audio cable
into the unbalanced output connector on the
back of the receiver. Connect the other end of
the cable to the proper input of the desired
device. Make sure the unbalanced level switch
is in the proper position before applying power.
c. Balanced Output:
Connect the male XLR connector into the
balanced output connector on the back of the
receiver. Connect the other end of the cable
into the “Mic/Balanced” input of the desired
device. The characteristics of the 3-pin XLR
connector are shown below in Figure 4.

3. TWO 19/2-INCH UNITS RECEIVER INSTALLATION
A. Setup for single half-rack receiver
1. Push the rack mount brackets (RM-11)
upwards until it is firmly attached to the
receiver. (Figure 5)
Figure 5
B. 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 and bottom). Align and
fasten the screws tightly as shown in
Figure 6.
3. Align and fasten the rack mount
7
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

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 illuminate the more severity of
interference. This system has “Pilotone” and
“NoiseLock” dual-squelch features so noise
output will not occur. If multiple channels are
used and both SIGNAL and AUDIO LEDs
illuminate before the transmitter is turned on,
simply adjust the Squelch controls clockwise
until the AUDIO signal indicators extinguish.
(Figure 9). However, by adjusting the
squelch controls it affects the sensitivity level
of the receiver, therefore, shortening the
operating distance and decreasing the
stability.
Figure 9
3. Under normal circumstances, the SIGNAL
indicator lights up when a microphone or
transmitter is turned on near the receiver to
indicate the receiver is ready for normal
operation. Once sounds enter into the
9
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
amplifier or mixer to an appropriate
sound level. The volume control is used
for fine adjustment of the microphone
sensitivity. When the knob is turned to
the twelve o’clock position the output
sensitivity level of the wireless
microphone is the same as a normal
dynamic microphone. Once the receiver
output level is appropriately adjusted,
do not adjust the volume control again.
Adjust the mixer or amplifier volume
control if the sound level needs to
increase or decrease.
b. Balanced Output: Adjust according to
the unbalanced audio output method in
the previous step. (Note: The level
switch does not effect the balanced
output.)
c. To obtain the same sensitivity level
when using a wireless microphone and
a wired microphone with one amplifier
or mixer connect both the receiver
output and the wired output to a “MIC-
10
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. Conversely, S/N ratio will
decrease if the receiver volume control
is adjusted too low.
5. Plug the cable of the mains unit into DC
socket on the receiver’s back panel. Thread
the cable through the cable grip as shown in
the figure below (Figure 10). The cable
grip prevents the connector from being pulled
off by accident.
Figure 10
11
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 a power
supply with a 1A minimum rating.

the red LED indicator flashes
briefly and then go out,
indicating normal battery
status. If no flash occurs, it has
either no battery or the battery
is drained or installed
incorrectly. The power led will
also warn when the battery is
weak by remaining on after
power up. A battery
replacement is then necessary.
4. Power On-off Switch:

2. BATTERY INSERTION
1. Unscrew the battery cap in a counter-
clockwise direction.
2. 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 it
for a fresh battery.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. When the microphone is switched on the
indicator will flash briefly indicating normal
operation.
2. After the microphone is switched on the RF
SIGNAL LED indicator of the receiver
illuminates. As the signal strength increases
the number of illuminated LEDs will increase.
If only the red LED illuminates this indicates
abnormal receiving status.
3. During usage the AUDIO LED indicator of the
receiver will illuminate according to the sound
strength input to the microphone. When the
red LED is illuminated, it denotes the
maximum sound pressure level is being
reached but does not represent distortion.
