Setup Guide
1. Installing Batteries in Microphones
Each gooseneck microphone requires 2 AA batteries. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
Video 1: How to set up auto scan. This video demonstrates the process of setting up the auto scan feature on the receiver, which includes steps for battery installation and microphone assembly.
For detailed battery installation, refer to the "Quick and Easy Pairing" video, Step 1, which shows installing batteries into the transmitter base.
2. Assembling the Gooseneck Microphones
Securely connect the gooseneck microphone to its base via the 4-pin XLR port. Tighten the collar for stability. Attach the foam cover to the microphone head to minimize wind noise and plosives.

Refer to the "Quick and Easy Pairing" video, Step 2 and 3, for visual guidance on attaching the foam cover and connecting the microphone to the transmitter base.
3. Connecting the Receiver
Connect the quad-channel wireless metal receiver to your audio interface, mixer, or amplifier using the provided 6.35mm audio cable or XLR cables (not included for individual channels). Ensure antennas are securely attached for optimal signal reception.

4. Auto Scan and IR Sync
The system features an Auto Scan function to automatically locate the least-interference frequency. Use IR Sync for seamless pairing between the receiver and microphones.
- Initiate Auto Scan: On the receiver, long press the SET button (2s) for the desired channel to initiate auto-scan. Wait until a new frequency appears.
- Initiate IR Sync: Tap the SET button again to initiate IR sync.
- Pairing: Aim the IR windows of the transmitter (microphone base) and receiver at each other to pair them. Once successful, the same channel number will appear on both the transmitter and receiver screens.

Operating Instructions
1. Frequency Selection
The system offers 4x50 selectable UHF frequencies. While auto-scan is recommended, you can manually select frequencies using the "▲" and "▼" buttons on the receiver for each channel. Press SET to confirm your selection.
Frequency ranges:
- Channel 1: 540.1 - 554.8 MHz
- Channel 2: 555.1 - 569.8 MHz
- Channel 3: 570.1 - 584.80 MHz
- Channel 4: 585.10 - 599.80 MHz
2. Volume Control
Adjust the output volume for each channel directly on the receiver using the volume buttons. For finer control and mixing, it is recommended to set the receiver volume to maximum and manage overall sound levels through an external audio mixer.
3. Mute Function
Each desktop conference microphone has a one-key mute function. A short press of the power button on the transmitter will mute the microphone. The indicator light on the microphone will change from green (activated) to red (muted).
