4.2 Connecting the Transmitter

1. Identify the transmitter unit (often labeled "Transmitter" or with an input icon).
2. Plug the XLR connector of the transmitter directly into the XLR output of your wired microphone. Ensure a secure fit.
3. If using a condenser microphone, locate the +48V phantom power switch on the transmitter and slide it to the "ON" position. For dynamic microphones, ensure this switch is in the "OFF" position to conserve battery.

2. Plug the XLR connector of the receiver into the XLR input of your audio mixer, PA system, or other audio interface.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

Locate the power switch on both the transmitter and receiver units. Slide the switch to the "ON" position to power on the devices. Slide to "OFF" to power them down.

5.2 Pairing and Frequency Selection

The MX-1 system is designed for automatic pairing. Once both the transmitter and receiver are powered on, they will automatically attempt to establish a connection on an available frequency.

• The system offers 10 selectable UHF 900MHz frequencies to avoid interference.
• Refer to the device's display or indicators for current frequency status. If interference occurs, power cycle both units to allow them to select a different clear frequency.

5.3 Monitoring Battery Life

The built-in LED indicator provides real-time battery status:

• Green light: 75% - 100% battery
• Yellow light: 50% - 74% battery
• Orange light: 25% - 49% battery
• Red light: 1% - 24% battery (recharge soon)

Recharge the devices promptly when the indicator shows low battery to ensure uninterrupted operation.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the devices. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Battery Care: For optimal battery longevity, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50% every few months.
• Handling: Handle the units with care. The flat-edged design helps prevent rolling, but avoid dropping or subjecting them to strong impacts.
