download the receiver’s selected frequency to 
the TX. First, turn on the MT-16A/R transmitter 
(or turn off and then on again if already on) and 
position its IR window 6-12” away from the 
RX IR window, press the SYNC button once 
and wait one second for the RX to respond.

System Operation
MGT-16 wireless Instrument receiver 
antennas 
The MGT-16 receiver is supplied with 
Dual antennas (9) attached. They should be 
extended fully to obtain maximum range. 
The optimal positions of the antennas are 
45 degrees from the receiver and 90 degrees 
from each other. For maximum range, it is 
always best to maintain a line-of-sight (no 
obstructions) between the receiver antennas 
and the transmitter whenever possible.
Powering the receiver 
The MGT-16 receiver can operate with either 
two AA size batteries (DC operation) or with 
the supplied AC adaptor (AC operation). 
For DC operation, open the receiver’s 
Battery Compartment Door (6) and place 
two fresh AA batteries in the battery 
compartment, observing the correct polarity. 
Two fresh alkaline or NiMH AA batteries will 
generally provide 6-8 hours performance, 
but in order to ensure optimal performance 
it is recommended that the batteries 
be replaced after six hours of use, or as 
indicated by the low Battery Indicator (11)
As the batteries begin to weaken below 
usable voltage, the low battery indicator 
will light up continuously, warning that the 
batteries are now too low and should be 
replaced as soon as possible. To preserve 
battery life, keep the receiver Off when it 
is not in use. 
For AC operation, power the receiver with 
the supplied aC Power adaptor (16). Plug the 
adapter’s barrel plug into the DC Input Jack (8) 
on the back of the receiver, then plug the 
adapter into an AC outlet.
AC operation of the MGT-16 receiver is 
the same as DC operation except that the 
Low Battery Indicator is inactive when the 
AC adapter is connected. 
Note: When the AC adapter is used, the installed 
batteries are automatically disconnected internally 
and are not operational. The AC adapter only
