4. Setup Instructions

4.1 Charging the Devices

Ensure all components (receiver, bodypack transmitter, handheld microphone) are fully charged before use. Use standard USB charging cables (not included) to connect to a power source. Charging indicators will typically show status and turn off or change color when fully charged.

4.2 Connecting the Receiver to Your Smartphone

1. Mount your smartphone securely into the adjustable holder on the receiver.
2. Connect one end of the included 3.5mm TRS to TRRS cable to the 'LINE OUT' port on the receiver.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to your smartphone's 3.5mm audio jack. If your smartphone does not have a 3.5mm jack, you will need a compatible adapter (e.g., USB-C to 3.5mm or Lightning to 3.5mm, not included).

4.3 Pairing the Microphones with the Receiver

The WMX-7-SP system is designed to operate with one wireless transmitter (either the bodypack transmitter or the handheld microphone) connected to the receiver at a time. Simultaneous use of both wireless transmitters is not supported.

1. Power On: Press and hold the power button on the receiver until its indicator light turns on. Do the same for the desired microphone (either the bodypack transmitter or the handheld microphone).
2. Initiate Pairing: The devices should automatically attempt to pair. Look for an RF indicator light on the receiver to confirm a successful connection. If pairing does not occur automatically, consult the troubleshooting section.
3. Lavalier Microphone Connection: If using the bodypack transmitter, plug the lavalier microphone into one of the 3.5mm mic input ports on the bodypack. Clip the lavalier microphone to your clothing, approximately 6-8 inches from your mouth, for optimal sound capture.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Audio Monitoring

To ensure your audio is being recorded correctly, use the built-in headphone jack on the receiver.

1. Plug a pair of headphones (not included) into the 3.5mm headphone jack on the receiver.
2. Adjust the volume using the '+' and '-' buttons on the receiver.
3. Monitor the audio in real-time to check for clarity, levels, and any interference.
