Quickstart - Samson UHF Micro 32 Owner's Manual

QuickStart

If you've had some prior experience using wireless systems, these QuickStart instructions
will get you up and running with your Micro 32 system in a matter of minutes! Detailed
instructions for setting up and using your Micro 32 system can be found on page 12 of this
manual, and the "Guided Tour" sections on pages 5 - 11 provide full descriptions of all
Micro 32 component controls and displays.
1. Make sure that the supplied M32 receiver and T32 or H32 transmitter are factory
preset to the same band (High, Medium or Low).
2. Physically place the M32 where it will be used (if desired, it can be connected to your
video camera using the supplied velcro strip) and extend both of its antennas vertically.
3. If you are using the T32 with a lavalier or headset microphone, make the physical
connection between its mini-XLR input connector and the microphone you are using.
4. Place a fresh battery in the transmitter and M32 receiver (or connect the M32 DC input
to your video camera's 12 volt output or optional AC300R adapter) and turn it on
momentarily to check it; the multifunction LED will light green if the battery is sufficiently
strong.
5. Turn your audio system off and make the physical cable connection between the M32
balanced or unbalanced output jack (if necessary, both can be used simultaneously) and
the line or mic level audio input of your video camera, amplifier or mixer. If you are using
the balanced output jack, be sure to set the M32 Audio Output Level switch correctly.
6. Determine the best Group and Channel to use by setting the M32 meter to "RF" and
observing it while using the supplied plastic screwdriver to select different Groups and
available Channels within that Group (refer to Appendix B on page 17 in this manual for a
complete channel plan). Select a Group that has the greatest number of suitable
Channels and the Channel within that Group that has the greatest signal strength.
Remember that, when two or more transmitters and receivers are being used at the same
location, all devices must be set to the same Group (each to a different Channel).
7. Turn on the transmitter and use the supplied plastic screwdriver to set it to the same
Group and Channel you have selected for the receiver. Its multifunction LED will blink
when selecting an unavailable Channel within a Group.
8. Set the audio gain structure by speaking or singing into your mic (or playing your
instrument) at a normal performance level while slowly raising the audio input control of
your video camera or audio output level of your amplifier or mixer until the desired level is
reached. If necessary, use the supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust the transmitter's AF
Level trimpot in order to increase or decrease its signal level.
9. Do a walkaround through the intended area of coverage while observing the M32's RF
meter. Reposition it (or its antennas) or select a different Group/Channel as necessary.
10. If you hear any spurious noise from the M32 output when the transmitter is turned off,
use the supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust the M32 Squelch level control, slowly turning
it clockwise until the point at which the noise disappears.
