VRX1 Interface Continued
• Power Switch: Pressing the A/B and * keys simultaneously within 3 seconds of powering up will activate the
voice menu.
• A/B (Up Arrow): Programmable button to select a channel, adjust audio delay, and enable voice prompt.
• * Key: Programmable button to select a channel, adjust audio delay, and enable voice prompt.
• VRX1 LED Behavior: Displays the current status.
• Slow Blinking Green: Receiving signal from transmitter on selected channel.
• Slow Blinking Purple: Not receiving signal from transmitter on selected channel.
Solid White: Programming Menu Mode.
•
Slow Blinking Red: Low battery (cell voltage less than 0.9V) – this means ~30 minutes are left.
•
Fast Blinking Red: Low battery (cell voltage less than 0.8V) – this means ~10 minutes are left.
•
• Flashing Blue: Charging.
• Solid Green: Charging complete.
• Solid Red: Indicates a charging fault and that the charging process has been aborted. This generally
indicates that non-rechargeable batteries are in the unit (cell voltage greater than 1.5V).
Batteries & Charging
VRX1 is designed to support alkaline, rechargeable Ni-MH, and lithium batteries. Two AA batteries are needed to
power the unit.
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries can be recharged
charging, VRX1 must be turned off. When in a charging state, an LED will blink blue. When charging is complete,
the LED will change to solid green. In the event of a charging fault, the LED will turn solid red. VRX1 will also
confirm a low battery and charging status with an audible voice prompt on the headphone output.
An optional VRX Dual Charger can charge two VRX1 receivers. To use the VRX Dual Charger power down
VRX1 and insert into the slot. A flashing blue LED will indicate charging. A solid green LED will indicate a
completed charge.
• Note: The default battery setting is set to NiMH. If you use alkaline or
lithium you can adjust this setting only using the Zaxcom GUI Bridge. If you
don't adjust this setting, you might receive an incorrect low battery
warning.
• Note: For proper performance, be sure to insert two of the same type of
battery in the device. Do not attempt to charge a disposable battery. In
addition, recharging fully charged batteries in the charger will shorten the
overall battery life.

VRX1 Receiver Antennas

VRX1 uses the attached headphone cable as a receiver antenna.

Recommended Channel Spacing

To ensure the best performance when using multiple analog transmitters, it is recommended practice to set any
physically adjacent analog transmitters at frequencies at least 300kHz from each other. Channel spacing of less
than 100kHz will result in poor RF performance. If using multiple brands of receivers, please observe both these
guidelines and the transmitter manufacturer's channel spacing recommendation.
