4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Frequency Selection and IR Pairing

The system features an auto-scan function to find clear frequencies and IR synchronization for easy pairing.

Figure 4.1: Diagram illustrating the IR pairing process between the microphone and receiver.

1. Initiate Auto Scan: On the receiver, press the "SET" button three times quickly for the desired microphone channel (left or right). The receiver will scan for the clearest available frequency.
2. Select Frequency (Optional): If you wish to manually select a frequency after the scan, rotate the volume knob corresponding to the microphone channel you are adjusting.
3. IR Pairing: Once a frequency is displayed on the receiver, hold the front of the microphone (where its display is located) close to the IR sensor on the receiver. The IR sensor is located on the bottom left side of the receiver's screen.
4. Confirm Pairing: While holding the microphone near the IR sensor, press the "SET" button on the receiver once for the corresponding microphone channel. A small indicator light on the receiver should flash, and the microphone's display will update to show the new frequency, confirming successful pairing. This process may require a couple of attempts to ensure proper alignment and timing.

4.2. Frequency Lock Function

To prevent accidental changes to the selected frequency, use the frequency lock function.

• To Lock: Press and hold the "SET" button on the receiver for the desired microphone channel until a lock icon appears on the display.
• To Unlock: Press and hold the "SET" button again until the lock icon disappears.

4.3. Volume Control

Each microphone channel has an independent volume control knob on the receiver. Rotate the "MIN/MAX" knobs to adjust the output volume for each microphone.

4.4. Microphone Charging

The handheld microphones are equipped with built-in rechargeable lithium batteries.
