Recommendations for Use

Placing the Receiver

1. After unpacking the receiver, connect the four receiving antennas to the antenna ports (ANT) of the receiver. Adjust two of the antennas to be oriented upwards and approximately perpendicular to the ground. This receiver is equipped with true diversity automatic selection.
   • It has four receiving antennas, four complete receiving circuits, and diversity control circuits inside. Every two antennas and two receiving circuits handle the reception of one mic.
   • For each mic, its two receiving antennas on the receiver are in different positions, resulting in noticeable differences in the received mic signals. The diversity control circuit will automatically compare and select the stronger signal to eliminate blind spots (dropouts) during reception.
   • Avoid placing the receiver inside a metal cabinet as it can shield RF signals and affect the reception distance.
   • Keep the receiver away from DVD players, computers, karaoke machines, audio processors, LED displays, display processors, LED lighting fixtures, and lighting control devices. The stray interference signals emitted by these devices can also affect the reception distance.
   • Place the receiver as close to the performance area as possible and maintain a distance of at least 1.5 meters from large metallic objects, walls, scaffolding, and ceilings. Ensure a clear signal path between the mic and the receiver.
2. Checking and Connecting the Power
   • Before installation, check and ensure that the specifications of the receiver’s power adapter match your local power specifications. If they do not match, do not proceed with the installation and usage, as it may damage the equipment or pose a safety hazard.
   • Once you have confirmed the voltage compatibility, plug the output connector of the power adapter into the DC INPUT socket on the back of the receiver and plug the adapter into a power outlet.
3. Installation and Configuration for Using Multiple Sets in the Same Area
   1. Start by turning on one receiver without turning on any mics. Observe the RF signal indicator for the first channel of the receiver. If there is a signal, it indicates interference. Adjust the settings until there is no signal detected.
   2. Turn on a mic and ensure that it functions properly in its intended location.
   3. While keeping the first mic on, observe the RF signal indicator for the second channel (repeat the step from the first channel to confirm there is no interference signal).
   4. Turn on the second mic and ensure that it functions properly in its intended location.

Repeat these steps for the remaining mics, ensuring that all previously configured mics remain turned on. Continue with steps (b), (c), and (d) until all mics have been configured.

After completing the above steps, close one mic at a time and check the RF indicator for each corresponding channel. Under normal circumstances, there should be no signal displayed on the channel when the mic is turned off. If a signal is present, you need to change the frequency. Check each channel again to ensure it meets the usage requirements.
Note: If the mic is damaged or lost and needs to be replaced, please use a spare mic and perform frequency synchronization with the receiver before use.
