battery

QUICK SETUP AND USE
To get your system into operation quickly, use the

following instructions. Review the rest of the

manual for additional setup and operational de-

tails.
1. Place the receiver where there is a clear line

of sight to the area where the transmitter will

be used (Figure 1). Extend the receiver’s an-

tennas and separate them 90 degrees (see

Figure 2).

2. Make sure the sound system’s volume is low

or off on the input you intend to use for the

wireless.

3. Plug in the receiver’s power adapter into an

AC outlet and the other end into the receiver.

CAUTION: Please make sure that the AC

adapter is the correct voltage for your lo-

cal requirements.

4. Plug the audio cable (not supplied) into either

output connector. The 3-pin XLR-type con-

nector is the preferred choice since the output

is balanced. Either connector may be used

with good results.

5. Turn the output level control (see Figure 2) on

the front panel to the 12:00 o’clock position

(midway in the control’s range) if the ¼-inch

connector is used (the 3-pin XLR-type con-

nector has fixed level).

6. Setup and adjust the transmitter level as de-

scribed on the following pages.

7. Turn up the level on the mixer or preamp to

the desired setting.

8. Speak into the microphone or strum the in-

strument and, if necessary, adjust the

receiver’s output until the volume level from

the wireless system approximates the level of

an equivalent wired microphone or instru-

ment.

9. “Walk” the expected area of use to check for

dropouts or interference. If problems occur,

see the troubleshooting section.

HTU HANDHELD TRANSMITTER SETUP
1. Insert battery. Slide open the battery com-

partment cover by placing your thumb on the

indents of the battery door (at the back end of

the transmitter) and gently pull down (see Fig-

ure 3).

2. Turn on the transmitter by sliding the power

switch (closest to the battery compartment)

forward to its on position, toward the mic ele-

ment. The red battery condition light should

flash once and then go out. If the red LED

stays on or illuminates during a performance,

it should be replaced immediately. The green

LED will stay lit when the transmitter is on.

3. Check reception. Observe that the audio

carrier light on the front panel of the receiver

is illuminated, an indication that the receiver is

picking up the signal. Then, “walk” the in-

tended area of use and make sure that there

are no barriers to reception or sources of in-

terference.

4. Unmute the audio by sliding the audio switch

(immediately below the mic element) towards

the windscreen.

5. Adjust the gain if necessary. First, speak or

sing into the microphone and listen closely for

distortion or hiss. If the gain is too low or high,

adjustments are necessary. Gently insert the

provided screwdriver (or other 3/32-in. screw-

driver) into the hole near the head of the

transmitter (see Figure 4). Turn lightly until

the screwdriver tip drops into the slot in the

level control. Gently turn counterclockwise

until the control stops (the mic output is at-

tenuated but not “off”). Slowly turn the mic-

level control while listening to the audio. If the

audio becomes distorted, turn the mic level

control counter-clockwise about 1/8 turn.

6. Adjust the squelch control if necessary.

The squelch control on the back of the re-

ceiver may be adjusted to increase range or

reduce interference. Turn the control counter-
