Tool

Handheld Transmitter

Power
Plug in the power adapter to turn on the receiver. There is no power switch.
Insert 2 AA batteries into the transmitter. Hold the power button for two seconds to turn on.

Connecting to a Sound System

Connect the balanced XLR output on the receiver to a MIC or LINE input. Set the LINE MIC switch
accordingly.
If there is no XLR input, connect the unbalanced 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) receiver output to a LINE input.
Set the LINE MIC switch to LINE.
Channel
Set the transmitter and the receiver to the same frequency using the channel dial.
Note: If using a dual system (or more than one single system), assign each input to a different
channel within the same group (channels 1-4 or channels A-D). This ensures the best signal
quality.
Bodypack Gain
The gain dial controls the audio volume sent to
the receiver.
• Turn down the gain if the audio signal sounds
distorted.
• Turn up the gain if the AF LED light is faint or
the audio is too low.
Squelch
Squelch controls the amount of RF signal that the
receiver picks up.
• Turn up the squelch dial (clockwise) to remove
ambient noise from unwanted RF sources.
• Turn down the squelch dial (counterclockwise)
if the microphone is not transmitting clearly to
the receiver.

Bodypack Transmitter

• KCX1 Bodypack Transmitter
• Microphone
PG185 Lavalier microphone
OR
PG30 Headworn microphone
RF Level
This switch sets the RF level of the handheld
transmitter. It does not affect the audio volume.
• Set to LO to avoid interfering with other
receivers when in a building with multiple
systems.
• Set to HI for transmitting over a greater
distance when using a single system.
Color ID Rings
Slide these color rings over the handle of the
microphone to identify them. (Sold in a package
of six as an optional accessory.)
