Location
For best operation the receiver should be at least 3' (1 m) above
the ground and at least 3' (1 m) away from a wall or metal surface
to minimize reflections. Keep the receiver
antennas away from noise sources such as digital equipment,
motors, automobiles and neon lights, as well as away from large
metal objects. In multi-channel systems, position receivers at
least 3' (1 m) apart and keep operating
transmitters at least 6' (2 m) from the receivers to help assure
maximum RF performance.
Output Connection
The receiver provides unbalanced, aux-level output from a
("mono") phone jack; an output cable is not included. Use
a shielded audio cable with
receiver's AF Out jack to the mixer/amplifier's aux-level input.
Power Connection
Connect the DC plug on the included AC power adapter to the
DC power input on the back of the receiver. Secure the cord over
the cord hook on the back of the receiver, to keep the plug from
being detached by an accidental tug on the cord. Then plug the
adapter into a standard 230 Volt 50 Hz AC power outlet.
(Note that the receiver has no power Off/On switch. The receiver
will be energized whenever the power adapter is
connected and plugged into the AC outlet. Unplug the power
supply from the AC outlet when the system is not in use – both
for safety, and to conserve energy.)
Antennas
1. ANTENNAS: Position the "signal" antenna (1a) and
"ground" antenna (1b) as shown in Figure A.
2. POWER INDICATOR: Lights when power is supplied to
the receiver.
3. RF INDICATOR: Lights to show presence of transmitter
signal.
4. AF PEAK INDICATOR: Only lights when audio distortion
is present at maximum modulation. Not affected by
position of Volume control.

Receiver Controls and Functions

Receiver Installation

A novel "dipole" antenna system on the receiver improves
operation by providing a "ground" element in addition to the
usual "signal" element. Position the two antennas at 90° in the
form of a "V," or position the left ("signal") antenna vertically and
the right ("ground") antenna horizontally, in the shape of
an "L" (Fig. A). Use the position that performs better in your
operating environment. Be certain to extend both antennas to
their full 15" (38 cm) length by holding them at their bases and
pulling out on their caps. Both antenna elements may be
swiveled to the left and right, but do not attempt to rotate them in
a screwing/unscrewing motion. To do so may damage the
antenna and/or receiver. For best performance, locate the
receiver so its antennas are in direct line-of-sight to the

5. AUDIO OUTPUT JACK:
phone jack. Use a shielded cable to connect to an
unbalanced aux-level input of a mixer or amplifier.
6. VOLUME CONTROL: Adjusts the audio level at the
output jack. Does not affect AF Peak indicator.
7. CORD HOOK: Loop the cord around the cord hook to keep
the DC plug from pulling out accidentally.
8. POWER INPUT JACK: Connect the DC plug from the
included AC adapter.
