    Hundreds of conversations with dealers and end-users developed the final parameters for the design. The CR175 receiver is a fixed frequency design that eliminates the need to “tune” or adjust the receiver every time it is used. This is the preferred design for a number of reasons, among them simplicity of operation, no adjustments in “high pressure”...

    CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS - FRONT PANEL MODULATION LEDs Indicate the modulation (audio level) of the incoming signal, and can be used for proper adjustment of the transmitter’s “MIC LEVEL” or “GAIN”. The -20 LED glows when the transmitter modulation is at a high enough level to produce a good audio signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Page 5 “open”. This will allow considerable noise to pass through the audio circuits if the associated transmitter is off, or if other circuits of the CR175 stop operating because of the low voltage condition. In addition, three out of the four LEDs on the front panel will light (the exception being the POWER LED).

    XLR type. BATTERY REPLACEMENT The CR175 is powered by a standard alkaline 9 volt battery. It is important that you use ONLY an ALKALINE battery for longest life. Standard zinc-carbon batteries marked “heavy duty” or “long-lasting” are not adequate. They will provide only about one hour of operation.
  • Page 7: Antenna Use And Placement

    Compact Receiver ANTENNA USE AND PLACEMENT Connect the antenna to the front panel jack. Position the antenna so that it is not within 3 or 4 feet of large metal surfaces. If this is not possible, try to position the antenna so that it is as far away from the metal surface as is practical.

    If the output is too low, you may hear steady noise (hiss) along with the audio. The CR175 output was designed to drive microphone level inputs. The output signal level ranges from -50dBV with the output control fully counter clockwise to -20dBV with the output control fully clockwise.
