- Install Batteries in Receiver (Optional for portable use):
If using the receiver without USB power, open its battery compartment and insert two 'AAA' batteries, observing correct polarity. For continuous use or when a USB power source is available, connect the receiver using the provided USB power cable.
- Connect the Receiver:
Plug the 1/4" (6.3mm) jack of the receiver directly into the microphone input of your amplifier, mixer, PA system, or other compatible audio device. If your device has a 1/8" (3.5mm) input, use the included 1/4" to 1/8" adapter.
- Power On:
Turn on your audio device. Then, press the power button on each microphone and on the receiver. The LCD display on the microphones should illuminate, indicating they are powered on and searching for a signal.
5. Operation
- Automatic Pairing:
The microphones and receiver are designed for automatic pairing. Once both are powered on, they should connect automatically. A stable connection is indicated by a specific LED on the receiver and a clear channel display on the microphone LCD.
- Selecting Frequency Channels:
The system offers 32 selectable UHF frequency channels to avoid interference. To change the channel on a microphone, briefly press the power button. The channel number on the LCD display will change. Ensure both microphones are on different channels if used simultaneously to prevent signal conflict.

- Optimal Operating Range:
The system provides an operation range of up to 165 feet (50 meters) in open areas. For best performance, maintain a clear line of sight between the microphones and the receiver. Obstacles like walls or large metal objects can reduce the effective range.
