Quick Start Summary
The following checklist includes the minimum required
settings to start using the receiver.
• Install either stand-alone or camera slot adapter kit,
the antennas and position the receiver as it will be
used (see pages 9-12).
• Connect power to the receiver (see pages 10,11).
• Set the COMPAT (compatibility) mode for the trans-
mitters to be used (see pages 15,16).
• Find clear operating frequencies for one or both
receivers (see pages 19-21).
NOTE: When operating in the 2-channel mode,
always set Receiver 2 to a higher frequency than
Receiver 1 by least 400 kHz (four standard steps
on the switches).
• Set transmitters on the matching frequencies (see
transmitter manual).
• Verify transmitters are set to the same compatibility
mode as the receiver (see transmitter manual).
• Adjust transmitter/s input gain to match voice level
and mic position (see transmitter manual).
• Adjust receiver output level as needed for the cam-
era or mixer input level desired (see pages 15,16).
