4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

Locate the power switch (OFF/ON) on the side of both the transmitter and receivers. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to power on the device, and to 'OFF' to power it off.

4.2 Channel Adjustment

The EX-938 system features 11 selectable UHF channels. To adjust the channel:

  • On both the transmitter and receivers, use the CH- and CH+ buttons to increase or decrease the Channel ID.
  • Ensure that all receivers are set to the same Channel ID as the transmitter to receive the audio signal.
  • For multiple groups operating simultaneously, each group must use a unique Channel ID to avoid interference.

4.3 Volume Adjustment

On each receiver, use the volume adjustment knob (labeled MIN to MAX) to set the desired listening volume.

4.4 System Operation Overview

The EX-938 system works by transmitting audio from a microphone or external source connected to the transmitter, which is then wirelessly sent to all receivers tuned to the same channel. Listeners wearing earphones connected to the receivers can hear the transmitted audio clearly.
