Setup Instructions
1. Receiver Placement and Antenna Connection
Place the receiver on a stable surface, away from potential sources of interference such as large metal objects or other wireless devices. Connect the two antennas to the designated ANT ports on the rear of the receiver.
2. Power Connection
Connect the provided power adapter to the DC12V input on the receiver and then plug it into a power outlet.
3. Connecting to Audio Devices
The ZERFUN G8 receiver offers multiple output options for connecting to an amplifier, audio mixer, or speaker system.
Using XLR Outputs (Balanced)
For professional audio setups, use the balanced XLR outputs. Each channel (1-4) has its own XLR output. Connect an XLR cable (not included) from the receiver's XLR output to the corresponding input on your audio mixer or amplifier.

Using Mixed 1/4-Inch or 1/8-Inch Outputs
For simpler setups, use the mixed 1/4-inch or 1/8-inch outputs. These outputs combine all four microphone channels into a single stereo or mono signal. Connect the appropriate cable (6.35mm to 6.35mm or 3.5mm to 3.5mm/RCA) from the receiver's "MIC OUT" port to the "MIC" input on your amplifier or speaker.

5. Powering Off the System
Optimum Shutdown Order: Turn off the Microphones, then Receiver, then Speaker, then Audio Amplifier, and finally Audio Mixer.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Wipe the receiver and bodypacks with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
2. Battery Charging
Each bodypack transmitter contains a built-in rechargeable battery. When the battery indicator on the LED display is low, connect the bodypack to a USB power source using a USB-C cable (not included for charging, but the system comes with audio cables). A full charge provides approximately 7+ hours of working time.

3. Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the system in a cool, dry place. Ensure bodypack batteries are partially charged (around 50%) before long-term storage to preserve battery health.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ZERFUN G8 system, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Sound Output:
- Ensure all components (receiver, bodypacks, amplifier, speakers) are powered on.

- Interference or Dropouts:
- Ensure the receiver and bodypacks are within the 200-foot operating range.
- Check for other wireless devices operating on similar frequencies nearby.
- Try changing the frequency channel on the affected bodypack transmitter using the SET and VOL+/- buttons. The system supports 50 compatible frequencies per channel.
- Ensure antennas on the receiver are properly connected and positioned for optimal reception.
- Microphone Not Pairing:
- Ensure both the receiver and the specific bodypack are powered on.
- Perform a manual frequency scan and synchronization as described in the "Operating Instructions" under "Channel Adjustment".
- Check bodypack battery level.
