OPERATING HINTS
To maximise operating performance Trantec recommends the following:
• Ensure good line of sight between receiver antenna and transmitter, avoid obstructions
e.g. concrete walls and metal structures.
• Ensure the receiver antenna is at least 3m (10 feet) away from the transmitters at all times.
• Always ensure transmitters are separated by at least 20cm.
• Never position the transmitter antenna directly against the body or the hand. This will
reduce the operating range.
• Ensure correct setting of Mute control for eff ective control of interference whilst the
transmitter is turned off . Default is normally 4-5 but may need to increase with multi-
channel set-ups.
• Do not mix separate Banks in multi-channel set-ups.
• Use SCAN function to check for external interference. (See CD-ROM for more information)
• Set transmitter AF gain so the receiver VU indicates 0db with occasional peaks to +6dB.
• Keep Microphone/Instrument lead away from the antenna on the beltpack.
• Do not mix other brands of wireless microphone as Trantec cannot guarantee multi-
channel compatibility.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• No operation of Transmitter
Replace current battery with fresh correct Alkaline ‘AA’ type.
• No RF signal on receiver
Check transmitter and receiver are “tuned” to the same channel
• Poor range
Check mute level setting. For normal range we recommend a Mute setting of 4-5.
• AF Signal distorted
Check Receiver XLR mic-line switch for correct match to Mixer/Amplifi er. Reduce gain of
Transmitter if VU meter shows over 6dB.
• AF Signal low level with high background noise
Adjust Transmitter gain so VU bar graph shows 0dB with 6dB peaks.
• External Head amplifi ers not operating
Check for shorts in the leads and ensure Receiver PHANTOM PWR is switched on via RX
SETTINGS Menu.
• Receiver LCD contrast poor
Enter receiver RX SETTINGS Menu, select LCD and press then rotate “Jog-Wheel” to adjust
contrast. The receiver will automatically exit after a few seconds.
