III. Audio Input
To connect a wired microphone:
- Ensure the wired microphone is plugged into the XLR socket (1) before powering on the transmitter.
- Tighten the mechanical locking ring (2) in a clockwise direction for a secure fit.
- To unplug the microphone, turn the mechanical locking ring in a counterclockwise direction.
XLR Balanced Microphone Connection Pinout:
- Pin 1: Ground Pin (Negative phantom power).
- Pin 2: HOT AF+ Positive phase input pin (String 6.8kΩ resistance to positive phantom power).
- Pin 3: COOL AF- Negative phase input pin (String 6.8kΩ resistance to positive phantom power).
The ridge on the microphone connector must align with the indentation on the XLR socket for proper insertion.
IV. Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off:
- Press the power button (7) to power on the device; the LCD screen will illuminate.
- To power off, press and hold the power button (7) for approximately 2 seconds. The LCD screen will display "OFF...".
2. Battery Status:
The battery meter on the LCD screen indicates the remaining battery level (e.g., 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, 10%). When the battery has less than 10% remaining, it must be replaced. If the battery is critically low, the system will shut down automatically, displaying "OFF...".
3. MUTE Button:
- Press the MUTE button (6) to access mute status; the LCD screen will display "MUTE".
- Press the MUTE button (6) again to unmute the audio, and the LCD will return to the main screen.
- Mute status is automatically canceled when the power is turned off.
4. 48V Phantom Power Button:
- Press the Phantom Power button (5) to activate +48V phantom power. The LCD screen will display "PP" at the top right corner.
- Press the button again to cancel phantom power.
Phantom power is required for condenser microphones. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power. The maximum power supply is 10mA. Using phantom power can significantly increase power consumption and reduce battery life by 50% or more.
5. GR(GROUP) – CH(CHANNEL) ID(ID Code):
The LCD screen displays the current Group, Channel, and ID code. Changing these settings must be done on the receiver and then synced by pressing the "ACT" button on the receiver. The available groups are A, B1, B2, and channels range from 1 to 12, with IDs from 1 to 64.
V. Insertion and Replacement of the Batteries
The transmitter uses one 18500 rechargeable battery.
How to insert the battery:
- Open the battery cover (8).
- Insert one 18500 rechargeable battery into the compartment (9), ensuring the positive (+) end is towards the inside.
- Push the battery cover (8) back into place to secure it.
VI. Charging
Charge the device using the USB Type-C port (11). The ICR-18500 lithium battery is used.
Cautions for charging:
- Ascertain the battery type before charging.
- If the charging indicator (12) does not glow, check if the 18500 lithium battery is inserted correctly.
- The charging port does not supply power to the transmitter while charging.
- DO NOT remove the battery during charging.
- DO remove the charging cable before removing the battery.
The Charging Status Indicator (12) shows: Orange = charging; Green = full charged.
VII. Notes
- Refer to the actual product in the event of product description discrepancy.
- Frequency range, RF output power, and maximum deviation comply with the regulations of different countries.
VIII. Regulatory Information
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment (e.g., use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices).
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

IX. Disposal
Dispose of any unusable devices or batteries responsibly and in accordance with any applicable regulations.
Disposing of used batteries with domestic waste is to be avoided. Batteries / NiCad cells often contain heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) that make them unsuitable for disposal with domestic waste. You may return spent batteries/accumulators free of charge to recycling centers or anywhere else batteries/accumulators are sold. By doing so, you contribute to the conservation of our environment!
