Connecting An Instrument; Setting The Frequency On The Receiver; Before The Soundcheck - Fender FWG 1010 Owner's Manual

Connecting the Receiver to
Power
1) CAUTION: Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the
included power supply is identical to the AC mains voltage
available where you will use your system. Using the power sup-
ply with a different AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
2) Plug the cable of the included power supply into the DC IN socket
on the receiver.
3) Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet.
4) Press the ON/OFF switch to switch the receiver on.
Inserting and testing
batteries in the transmitter
1) Depress the snap hook on the battery compartment cover.
2) Pull the battery compartment cover off the transmitter in the direc-
tion shown by the arrow.
3) Insert the supplied battery into the battery compartment conform-
ing to the polarity marks. The transmitter will not function if you
insert the battery the wrong way.
4) To turn the transmitter on, set the on/off switch to "ON". If the
battery is in good condition, the status LED will be lit green. If the
status LED is lit red, the battery will be flat in less than one hour.
Replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible. If the sta-
tus LED is not lit, the battery is dead. Insert a new battery.
i
If you use a rechargeable battery, the LED will change to
red approximately 15 minutes before the battery goes
flat.
5) To close the battery compartment, slide the battery compartment
cover onto the battery compartment from below until the snap
hook engages.
Setting the frequency on
the receiver
Set the transmitter and receiver to the same frequency:
1) Set the desired channel number by pressing CHANNEL. With each
press of the button, the channel number increases by one.
2) The set channel is indicated on the display and activated
immediately.
Setting the frequency on
the transmitter
1) Switch the receiver on and press CHANNEL. The selected chan-
nel (e.g. 1) blinks for 3 seconds after which it is displayed without
blinking, indicating that the selected channel is active.
2) During those 3 seconds, press CHANNEL to obtain the required
channel number. Each press of the button increases the channel
number by one.
3) Once you have reached the required channel number, the display
FWG

blinks for a further 3 seconds after which the channel you have just
selected becomes active.

Connecting an instrument

i
Fender cannot guarantee that the pocket transmitter
will work perfectly with products from other manufac-
turers and any damage that may result from such use is
not covered by the Fender warranty.
1) Remove the battery compartment cover.
2) Plug mini XLR connector on the ITC3 instrument cable into the
input socket of the pocket transmitter, then plug the other end of
the ITC3 cable into your instrument.
3) Turn the pocket transmitter on by setting the on/off switch to
"ON".
4) Set the SQUELCH control on the receiver to minimum and switch
the receiver on.
5) Play your instrument.
6) Use the screwdriver integrated in the battery compartment cover
to set the GAIN control to a position where the CLIP LED on the
receiver will flash occasionally when you are playing your instru-
ment at maximum volume.
7) Replace the battery compartment cover on the transmitter.

Before the soundcheck

1) Move the transmitter around the area where you will use the sys-
tem to check the area for "dead spots", i.e. places where the field
strength seems to drop and reception deteriorates. If you find any
dead spots, try to eliminate them by repositioning the receiver. If
this does not help, avoid the dead spots.
2) If the RF OK LED on the receiver goes out, this means no signal is
being received or the squelch is active. Switch the transmitter on,
move closer to the receiver or adjust the squelch level to the point
where the green RF OK LED lights up.
3) If interference noise occurs, adjust the squelch level until the inter-
ference noise goes away.
i
Do not set the squelch level higher than necessary. The
higher the squelch level, the lower the sensitivity of the
receiver and hence the smaller the range between trans-
mitter and receiver.
Only use the supplied ITC3 instrument cable with the
Bodypack Transmitter.
