Operating Instructions

1. Power On Receiver: Press the power button on the receiver. The LCD display should illuminate.
2. Power On Microphone: Press and hold the power button on the microphone transmitter until the indicator light turns on.
3. Frequency Pairing: The receiver and transmitter should automatically pair. If they do not, or if you experience interference, you may need to manually select a frequency. Refer to the "Frequency Selection" section below.
4. Adjust Volume: Adjust the volume knob on the receiver to achieve the desired output level for your mixer or amplifier. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to avoid sudden loud sounds.
5. Echo Effect (if applicable): If your model includes an echo effect, there will be a dedicated control on the microphone or receiver. Adjust this to your preference.
6. Mute Function: The microphone transmitter may have a mute switch. Use this to temporarily silence the microphone without turning it off.
7. Power Off: To power off, press and hold the power button on both the microphone transmitter and the receiver until their indicators turn off.

Frequency Selection

The ACEMIC PR/8-ST4 offers 100 selectable frequencies. If you encounter interference or wish to change the operating channel:

• On the receiver, locate the frequency selection buttons (usually "UP" and "DOWN" or "SET").
• Press the "SET" button (or equivalent) to enter frequency selection mode.
• Use the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons to cycle through available frequencies. Observe the LCD display for changes.
• Once a desired frequency is selected, the receiver will automatically transmit this frequency to the microphone for pairing. Ensure the microphone is powered on and within range for successful synchronization.
• Confirm successful pairing by checking the RF/AF indicators on the receiver.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the receiver and microphone. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator on the microphone transmitter shows low power, replace the AA battery promptly to ensure uninterrupted performance. Always use fresh, high-quality batteries.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery from the microphone transmitter to prevent leakage. Store the system in its original aluminum box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Handle the microphone and receiver with care. Avoid dropping them or subjecting them to strong impacts.
