Receiver Setup and Operation

1. Place the receiver and antennas where there is a
clear line of sight to the area where the transmitter
will be used. Rotate the antennas to separate them
by 90 degrees.
2. Connect the power supply cord to the receiver.
Plug the power supply into an AC outlet. Turn the
receiver on and confirm that it is ON by checking
the main display screen.
Caution: Please make sure the AC power supply
is the correct voltage for your local requirements
before it is plugged into the wall.
3. Manual Channel Change. Press the SET button
and the Group number will start to flash. The Up
and DOWN buttons allow you to scroll through
the factory set group. When the group you desire
is displayed, press SET to select that group and
the Channel Number will start flashing. Scroll to
the desired channel and press SET to select. The
numbers will stop flashing and the new group and
channel are installed.
4. Frequency Assignment (Outside of preset
Groups and Channels), press SET and UP at the
same time and the group and channel will go
blank and the Frequency will start flashing. Use
UP/DOWN to scroll in 25 KHz steps to the
desired frequency. Press SET and the frequency
will be selected and stop flashing. Press Set and
UP at the same time to return to group and
channel operation. Hint: holding in the Up or
Down key will increase the speed of the scroll.
Just release and press again for fine control

will flash. While Group is flashing, press and hold
SET until ClearScan appears, release the set key.
When the scan is completed, the display will show
the group with the most clear channels and the
Channel number will indicate how many clear
channels are in that group. Use the UP/DOWN
keys and to view other groups and press SET to
select a group. The Group will be set and the

manually or use ClearScan for Channels.
b. ClearScan for Channels: To scan for the clearest
channel in a group, press and hold set while the
Channel is flashing until ClearScan appears,
release the SET button. When the scan is
complete, the display will show the clearest
available channel. Use UP/DOWN to scroll
through the other available channels rank from
clearest to least clear (but still available for use,
ClearScan will not display any channel that can't
be used). Press SET to select the channel.
c. Auto ClearScan: This function will find the
clearest group and channel with the press of just
one button. With nothing flashing, press and hold
the SET button until ClearScan appears on the
right side of the screen. When the scan is
complete, the receiver will be set to the clearest
channel in the clearest group.
d. ClearScan Band: While in the Frequency Mode,
this function will scan the entire band looking for
the clearest frequency, regardless of groups and
channels. In Frequency Mode, press Set once and
the frequency will flash, press and hold set until
ClearScan appears on the right side of the display.
The scan will continue until you press Set again
so you can scan a location over night, 24 hrs, a
week, or a few seconds. When you press Set
again, the scan will stop and the clearest
frequency will be displayed. You can scroll
through the 8 clearest frequencies using the
Up and Down buttons. Press Set to accept the
frequency displayed.
