Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
- Receiver: Press the Power button on the front panel of the receiver. The display will illuminate.
- Handheld Microphone: Press and hold the power button on the microphone body until the display illuminates.
2. Channel Selection and Synchronization (IR Sync)
The WX1000HH system features 100 switchable UHF frequencies and an auto-scan function to find clear channels. Up to 20 systems can be used simultaneously.
- Auto-Scan: On the receiver, press the "SET" button to initiate an auto-scan. The receiver will search for and select an available, interference-free frequency.
- IR Sync: Once the receiver has selected a frequency, align the IR window on the handheld microphone with the IR sensor on the receiver (usually near the display). Press the "IR Sync" or "SET" button on the receiver (refer to receiver display for specific prompt). The frequency information will be transmitted to the microphone, synchronizing the two units.
- Verification: Confirm that the frequency displayed on the microphone matches the frequency on the receiver.
