- Power On Microphones: Press and hold the power button on each lavalier microphone until the indicator light illuminates, indicating they are powered on and ready to pair.
- Automatic Pairing: The microphones will automatically pair with the receiver once both are powered on and within range. A solid indicator light on the microphone typically signifies a successful connection.

5. Operating Instructions
- Wearing the Microphone: Clip the lavalier microphone to your clothing, ideally about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) from your mouth, to capture optimal sound. Ensure it is not covered by clothing.
- Recording: Once connected, open your preferred recording application (e.g., camera app, voice recorder, live streaming app) on your device and begin recording. The system will automatically use the wireless microphones for audio input.
- Monitoring Audio: If your device supports it, use headphones connected to your device (not the receiver) to monitor audio quality during recording.
- Operating Range: Maintain a distance of up to 20 meters (approximately 65 feet) between the microphones and the receiver for stable transmission. Obstacles and electromagnetic interference may reduce this range.
