Setup Instructions

1. Receiver Placement and Connections

Place the receiver unit in a stable location, away from strong electromagnetic interference. Ensure proper ventilation. Connect the antennas to the ANTENNA jacks on the rear panel. Connect the power adapter to the DC INPUT and plug it into a power outlet.

For audio output, use the BALANCED XLR outputs (A and B) for individual microphone channels or the MIX A+B output for a combined signal. Connect these to your mixer or amplifier using appropriate audio cables.

Insert fresh batteries into the handheld or bodypack microphones. Ensure the battery polarity is correct. Power on the microphones.

3. Frequency Synchronization

The system features automatic frequency scanning and synchronization. Power on the receiver. The LCD display will show RF level, AF level, Channel Frequency, and mute status. Use the automatic frequency scanning function on the receiver to find and set the best available channel. Then, use the automatic transmitter setup feature to synchronize the microphone's frequency with the receiver.

4. Rack Mounting (Optional)

The M-260 receiver can be rack-mounted. For single unit mounting, attach the provided rack ears to the sides of the receiver. For mounting two units together to create a 4-microphone system in a 19-inch rack, follow these steps:

  1. Remove the screws from the sides of both receiver units where they will connect.
  2. Align and mount the two receivers together.
  3. Secure the two receivers using the provided connecting plate and screws.
  4. Attach the rack ears to the outer sides of the combined unit.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

To power on the receiver, press the power button on the front panel. To power on the microphones, use the power switch located on each microphone unit. Power off all components when not in use to conserve battery life and prevent accidental sound transmission.

2. Channel Selection and Adjustment

The system offers 100 selectable frequencies per channel. After initial synchronization, you can manually adjust channels if interference occurs. Refer to the receiver's front panel controls and LCD display for channel selection. The LCD display shows RF level (radio frequency signal strength), AF level (audio frequency signal strength), current Channel Frequency, and mute status.

3. Squelch Control

The SQUELCH controls on the rear panel (refer to Setup Instructions image) help eliminate unwanted noise when no audio signal is present. Adjust these controls to the minimum setting that effectively mutes background noise without cutting off desired audio signals.

4. Operating Range

The system has an operating range of up to 400 feet (150 meters) under optimal conditions. Environmental factors, such as obstacles and other wireless devices, can affect this range. Maintain a clear line of sight between the microphones and the receiver for best performance.
