4.3 Pairing Transmitters and Receiver

The transmitters and receiver are typically pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is needed:

1. Turn on both the transmitter(s) and the receiver.
2. On the transmitter, long press the "Pair/Denoise Button" until the pairing indicator flashes.
3. The devices will automatically connect. A solid indicator light on both units confirms successful pairing.

4.4 Attaching Microphones

You can use either the built-in microphone on the transmitter or the external lavalier microphone:

• Built-in Microphone: Simply clip the transmitter to your clothing, ensuring the built-in microphone faces the sound source.
• External Lavalier Microphone: Plug the lavalier microphone into the 3.5mm MIC input port on the transmitter. Clip the lavalier microphone to your clothing, typically near the collar, and secure the transmitter to your belt or pocket using its multi-functional belt clip.

5.4 Output Modes: Mono, Stereo, and Safety Track

The receiver allows you to switch between different output modes to suit your recording needs:

• Mono Mode: Combines audio from both transmitters into a single mono track.
• Stereo Mode: Separates audio from each transmitter into distinct left and right channels, providing a stereo output.
• Safety Track Mode: Records a primary audio track and a secondary track at -6dB. This provides a safety net against unexpected loud sounds that might cause clipping on the main track.

Use the 'MODE' button on the receiver to cycle through these options. Note that the stereo function is not available in single-channel or safety mode.
