1. Rackmounting the Receiver
There are 2 options available for rackmounting the Encore I receiver: singly or side-
by-side with another Encore Series receiver.
There are 2 options available for rackmounting the Encore I receiver: singly or side-
by-side with another Encore Series receiver.
a. Single mounting: Remove the receiver SIDE MOUNT CLIP (1) from each side of
the receiver (as shown) and slide in the optional ERM-12 RACK EARS (9).
b. Side-by-side double mounting: After removing the SIDE MOUNT CLIPS (1) from
both Encore receivers, join the two receivers with the EJC-2 JOINING CLIP (10)
and attach the ERM-22 RACK EARS (12) as shown.

(Note: Do not mount the
receiver in a rack directly above an amplifier or other source of high heat – this
could degrade the performance of the Encore I. Always ensure adequate
airflow and heat dissipation in any rack configuration.)

2. Powering the Receiver
Plug the 12V AC/DC ADAPTER (15) provided into the DC INPUT JACK (11) on the
back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet.

3. Antenna
The Encore I receiver is supplied with a TELESCOPIC ANTENNA (16). This should be
extended fully to obtain maximum range. Optimal antenna position is vertical. For
maximum range, it is always best to maintain a line of sight (no obstructions)
between the receiver antenna and the transmitter at all times whenever possible.

4. Mute (Squelch) Adjustment
In normal operation, the MUTE CONTROL (2) should be set fully counterclockwise to
the factory preset minimum RF level. However, in areas of high RF activity, the mute
(or squelch, as it is sometimes called) may need to be adjusted to compensate for the
adverse conditions in a particular location. If, with the transmitter off, one or more
LEDs of the 5 LED RF LEVEL DISPLAY (4) flicker or stay on, the squelch control should
be turned clockwise until the LEDs extinguish. When the squelch is properly adjusted,
the RF LEVEL LED displays will only light when the system transmitter is turned on.
Turning the squelch control too far clockwise will reduce the range, but yield a quieter
mute (squelch) function. When the 5 LED RF LEVEL display extinguishes, the transmit-
ter is out of range for that given location, and the user should move closer to the
receiver to re-establish the radio link.
