- Install Batteries in Microphones: Unscrew the bottom part of each microphone. Insert one (1) 9-volt battery into each microphone, ensuring correct polarity. Screw the bottom part back on securely.
- Position the Receiver: Place the wireless receiver on a stable surface, away from potential sources of interference such as large metal objects or other wireless devices. Extend the telescoping antennas for optimal signal reception.
- Connect to Audio System: Connect the audio output jack on the back of the receiver to the microphone input of your PA system, karaoke machine, or amplifier using the provided audio output cable.
- Power On: Plug the receiver's power adapter into a standard AC outlet. Turn on the receiver using the power switch on the front panel. The power indicator light should illuminate.
5. Operating Instructions
Once set up, operating your QFX M-336 system is straightforward:
- Turn On Microphones: Slide the ON/OFF switch on each microphone to the 'ON' position. The microphone's indicator light should turn on.
- Verify Connection: The corresponding signal indicator (A or B) on the receiver should light up when a microphone is turned on and connected.
- Adjust Volume: Adjust the volume level on your connected audio system (PA system, karaoke machine, etc.) to a comfortable listening level.
- Optimal Usage: For best performance, hold the microphone approximately 2-6 inches from your mouth. Avoid covering the microphone grille with your hand. Maintain a reasonable distance between the microphones and the receiver, and ensure a clear line of sight if possible.
- Standby Mode: If your microphone has a standby switch, use it to temporarily mute the microphone without turning it off completely. To resume audio, switch it back to the 'ON' position.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your microphone system.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the 9-volt batteries in the microphones when the indicator light dims or audio quality degrades. Always use fresh batteries.
- Cleaning: Wipe the microphones and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove batteries from the microphones and store the system in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your QFX M-336 system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound from microphone | Microphone off, dead batteries, receiver off, incorrect audio connection, audio system muted. | Ensure microphone and receiver are on. Replace batteries. Check all cable connections. Verify audio system volume and mute settings. |
| Poor sound quality, static, or dropouts | Weak batteries, interference, distance from receiver, obstructions, receiver antennas not extended. | Replace microphone batteries. Reduce distance between microphone and receiver. Extend receiver antennas fully. Avoid placing receiver near other electronics. Ensure clear line of sight. Note: Some karaoke machines with built-in CD players may experience compatibility issues. |
| Microphone not connecting to receiver | Microphone or receiver off, out of range, interference. | Ensure both units are powered on. Move closer to the receiver. Turn off and restart both the microphone and receiver. |
| Low volume output | Audio system volume too low, microphone sensitivity. | Increase volume on your connected audio system. Ensure microphone is held close enough to the sound source. |
