Setup

1. Receiver Setup

1. Placement: Position the ACT-5801 receiver in a clear, open area, away from potential interference sources (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other 5 GHz devices).
2. Antenna Connection: Connect the supplied antennas to the BNC connectors on the rear panel of the receiver. Ensure they are securely tightened and positioned vertically for optimal reception.
3. Power Connection: Connect the power adapter to the DC input on the receiver's rear panel, then plug the adapter into an AC power outlet.
4. Audio Output: Connect the receiver's audio output (XLR or 1/4" jack) to the input of your mixer, amplifier, or audio interface using the provided audio cable or a suitable alternative.

2. Transmitter Setup (ACT-58H)

1. Battery Installation: Unscrew the lower part of the ACT-58H handheld microphone to reveal the battery compartment. Insert two fresh AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Replace the cover.
2. Power On: Slide the power switch to the "ON" position. The LCD display will illuminate, showing battery status and current channel.

3. Synchronization (ACT Sync)

To establish a wireless connection, the receiver and transmitter must be on the same frequency channel. Use the ACT (Automatic Channel Targeting) sync function for quick setup:

1. Power On Receiver: Turn on the ACT-5801 receiver.
2. Select Channel: On the receiver, use the channel selection buttons to choose a desired operating frequency. The receiver will automatically scan for a clear channel.
3. Prepare Transmitter: Turn on the ACT-58H transmitter.
4. Initiate Sync: Press and hold the "ACT" button on the receiver. The receiver's display will show "ACT" or a similar indicator.
5. Align IR Windows: Position the IR sync window of the ACT-58H transmitter (usually near the bottom of the display) directly facing the IR sync window on the receiver's front panel (typically next to the ACT button). Keep them within a few centimeters.
6. Confirm Sync: The transmitter's display will flash and then show the synchronized channel. The receiver's display will also confirm the successful sync.
7. Test Audio: Speak into the microphone and observe the audio level indicators on the receiver and your mixer/amplifier to confirm signal presence.

Operating

Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: Use the dedicated power buttons on both the receiver and transmitter. Always power on the receiver first, then the transmitter. Power off the transmitter first, then the receiver.
• Volume Control: Adjust the output volume of the receiver using the volume knob on its front panel. Fine-tune the overall audio level on your connected mixer or amplifier.
• Monitoring: Monitor the receiver's LCD display for signal strength (RF) and audio level (AF) indicators. Ensure stable RF and avoid clipping on AF.
• Microphone Technique: Hold the handheld microphone approximately 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) from your mouth for optimal sound quality. Avoid covering the microphone grille with your hand.

Channel Selection

If you experience interference, you may need to change the operating channel:

1. On the receiver, press the channel selection buttons to cycle through available frequencies or initiate an auto-scan function (if available).
2. Once a clear channel is selected on the receiver, perform the ACT sync procedure again to match the transmitter to the new frequency.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior surfaces of both the receiver and transmitter. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Care: Remove batteries from the transmitter if it will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage. Always use high-quality alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
• Storage: Store the system in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Antennas: Handle antennas carefully. Avoid bending or stressing them excessively.
