Setup Instructions

1. Battery Installation (Microphones)

  1. Unscrew the bottom part of each handheld microphone to reveal the battery compartment.
  2. Insert two fresh AA batteries into each microphone, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  3. Screw the bottom part back on securely.

2. Connecting the Receiver

The receiver requires connection to an audio mixer, amplifier, powered speaker, or PA system. It offers both balanced XLR outputs and an unbalanced 6.35mm (1/4'') mixed output.

  1. Connect the included power adapter to the receiver's DC 12V power interface and plug it into a power outlet.
  2. Attach the two antennas to the ANT-A and ANT-B interfaces on the rear of the receiver. Position them vertically for optimal signal reception.
  3. Choose your preferred audio output method:
    • For individual microphone control (recommended): Use XLR cables (not included) to connect the MIC-A Output and MIC-B Output to separate input channels on your audio mixer or amplifier.
    • For combined output: Use the included 6.35mm audio cable to connect the MIXED Output to a 6.35mm (1/4'') input on your audio device.
  4. Ensure your audio mixer/speaker/amplifier has an available AUX (3.5mm or 1/4'') or XLR input port.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

  1. Receiver: Press the POWER button on the receiver's front panel. The display will illuminate.
  2. Microphones: Slide the ON/OFF switch on each microphone to the 'ON' position. The microphone's LCD will light up.
  3. To power off, reverse these steps.

2. Frequency Pairing and Selection

The system uses IR synchronization for easy pairing. It also features an auto-scan function to find the best available frequency.

  1. Automatic Pairing (Recommended):
    • Ensure both the receiver and the microphone are powered on.
    • On the receiver, long press the 'SET' (Frequency Pairing) button. The receiver will automatically scan for the best available frequency.
    • While the receiver is scanning, align the microphone's IR window with the receiver's IR window (Frequency Infrared Pairing Window). The microphone will synchronize with the new frequency.
    • Repeat for the second microphone.
  2. Manual Frequency Selection:
    • On the receiver, use the 'Channel Selection' buttons (up/down arrows) to browse through the 200 available frequencies for the desired channel (A or B).
    • Once a frequency is selected, short press the 'SET' button.
    • Align the microphone's IR window with the receiver's IR window to synchronize.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the receiver and microphones. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery Care: Remove batteries from the microphones if they will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
  • Storage: Store the system in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Antennas: Handle antennas carefully to avoid bending or breaking.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No sound from microphonesMicrophone off; low batteries; receiver off; incorrect cable connection; receiver not paired; audio device input incorrect.Ensure microphones and receiver are powered on. Replace microphone batteries. Check all cable connections. Re-pair microphones with the receiver. Verify correct input selection on your audio mixer/amplifier.
Interference or static noiseOther wireless devices nearby; operating range exceeded; weak signal; frequency conflict.Move closer to the receiver. Use the auto-scan function to find a clear frequency. Ensure antennas are properly positioned. Avoid placing the receiver near other electronic devices that may cause interference.
Microphone not pairingIR windows not aligned; incorrect pairing procedure.Ensure IR windows are facing each other closely during pairing. Follow the automatic or manual pairing steps carefully.
Short operating rangeObstructions; antenna position; environmental factors.Ensure a clear line of sight between microphones and receiver. Position antennas vertically and away from metal objects.
