Setup

1. Charge the Devices: Before first use, fully charge the transmitters, receiver, and charging case. Use the provided USB Type-C cable. The charging case provides up to 24 hours of continuous use for the units.
2. Power On: Press and hold the power button on both the TX units and the RX unit until the indicator lights illuminate.
3. Automatic Pairing: The TX and RX units are designed to auto-pair upon powering on. If manual pairing is required, refer to the troubleshooting section.
4. Connect to Recording Device:
   • For Smartphones/Tablets: Use the 3.5mm TRRS cable. Connect one end to the RX's 3.5mm output and the other to your device's headphone/microphone jack. For iPhones with Lightning or Android phones with USB-C without a 3.5mm jack, an appropriate adapter (not included) is required.
   • For DSLR Cameras/Camcorders: Use the 3.5mm TRS cable. Connect one end to the RX's 3.5mm output and the other to your camera's microphone input.
5. Attach Microphones: If using external lavalier microphones, plug them into the 3.5mm TRS input on the TX units. Attach the wind muffs for outdoor use to reduce wind noise.
6. Position Transmitters: Clip the TX units to the speaker's clothing, ensuring the microphone (either built-in or external lavalier) is positioned approximately 6-8 inches from the mouth for optimal sound capture.
