- Power On: Press the power button on the receiver. The power indicator light should illuminate. Turn on each microphone using its power switch.
6. Operating Instructions
- Volume Adjustment: Slowly increase the volume on your amplifier/mixer and then adjust the individual Volume A and Volume B controls on the receiver to achieve the desired sound level for each microphone.
- Microphone Usage: Hold the microphone approximately 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) from your mouth for optimal sound pickup. Avoid covering the microphone grille with your hand.
- Range: The effective operating range of the wireless system can vary depending on environmental conditions, obstacles, and interference. Maintain a clear line of sight between the microphones and the receiver whenever possible.
- Turning Off: When finished, turn off the microphones first, then power off the receiver. This helps prevent unexpected noises through your sound system.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the receiver and microphones. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Battery Replacement: Replace microphone batteries when the low battery indicator (if present) illuminates or when sound quality degrades. Always replace both batteries in a microphone at the same time.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove batteries from the microphones and store the system in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case.
