1. Transmitter Set-Up
First, slide open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT DOOR (43) to expose compartment.
Insert a fresh 9V ALKALINE BATTERY (45), observing polarity. Close the battery
compartment door.

• Step 1 - Rotate the transmitter's threaded LOCKING RING (37) clockwise

toward the XLR CONNECTOR (36) until it stops.

• Step 2 - Hold your mic in one hand and The Link 2 in the other.
• Step 3 - Plug your mic into the XLR CONNECTOR.
• Step 4 - Lock the mic into place with the adjustable threaded LOCKING RING

by rotating the ring, counterclockwise, to the top of the transmitter.

• Step 5 - To release the XLR CONNECTOR, turn the threaded LOCKING RING

clockwise and press the RELEASE BUTTON (44).

3. Lavalier Microphone Installation
The lavalier microphone you are using must terminate with an XLR connector and
conform to the pin assignments shown below. If it does not conform or is supplied
with a different connector, you must use an appropriate adapter or the lav mic may
not work with the Link 2. If you have any questions, please contact your Nady dealer
or Nady Systems’ Customer Service Department.

Note: Select phantom power, as needed, with the PHANTOM POWER ON/OFF
SWITCH (42)

4. Microphone Operation
a.    Turn on the Link 2 by sliding the ON/STANDBY/OFF SWITCH (41) to the

STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter
and audio both on).  The LOW BATTERY INDICATOR LED (40) will give a single
quick flash, indicating usable battery strength. In case of dead or low battery,
the indicator will either not go on at all or stay on continuously, indicating a
battery voltage below 7V. If this occurs, replace with fresh 9V battery. Remem-
ber to turn the transmitter off when not in use.

b.    The Link 2 is now ready to use. Most or all of the RF DISPLAY LEDs (4) on the

Encore I receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the
transmitter. When ready to speak, slide the transmitter switch to the ON position
and adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone
Connection

 section of the above Encore I receiver instructions. The AF LEVEL LED

 on the Encore I receiver will light up to 5 LEDs (4 green and 1 red)

for all  input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during use of the top red
LED indicator in this display is normal, however if the red LED stays on continu-
ously, it means the signal is too loud and there is the possibility of overload
distortion. Re-position the microphone farther from the source or adjust the

       Link 2 transmitter gain with the VOLUME LO/HI GAIN SWITCH (39). Set for the

maximum possible level without noticeable distortion on the high level peaks. Set
the GAIN SWITCH to LO to decrease the audio level, and set the GAIN SWITCH
to HI to increase the audio level. The red LED indicator should flicker only on the
loudest inputs.

       (Note: Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker

placement so that acoustic  feedback (howling and screeching) will be avoided.
Please also observe  the pickup patterns of the microphone selected: omnidirec-
tional mics pick up sound equally from all directions and are prone to feedback
if not used carefully.  Unidirectional mics are more resistant to feedback, but pick
up sound sources best that are directly in front of the mic. Also, mics that are
farther from the sound  source, such as lavaliers, require more acoustic gain and
thus are also more prone to feedback than close-source mics such as handheld
or headworn mics that are used close to the mouth.)

(Note:  Microphone elements can easily be destroyed by the buildup of salts and
minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a windscreen on
the mic element at all times to protect it.)
