Press the [SCAN (MODE)] key. Bank scan starts, and "." (decimal point) flashes on the display. The DJ-X2 stops scanning when receiving a signal. The following are common to all the scans. · Scanning direction depends on the direction of the last operation.(Except for Program scan.) ·...
Bugging Detector The DJ-X2 detects a bugging signal by scanning frequencies in the pro- grammed memory banks. When a listening microphone is found, the DJ-X2 notifies you with its display. Caution! Be sure to remove the earphone when detecting bugging. Hold down the [MONI (SCRT)] key, and turn the power ON.
Cautions! · Operate in a quiet environment where doors and windows are closed. It is hard to find a listening microphone in a noisy environment. · Depending on the modulation setting, this function may not work correctly. · When the battery voltage is low, this function does not work normally. Be sure to charge the internal lithium-ion battery completely, load new alka- line batteries, or supply sufficient voltage from the DC power supply.
Resetting You can reset the programmed memory channels and settings. There are two types of reset. Partial reset (PArt) ·························Programmed memory channels remain, and other settings are reset. All reset (ALL) ·······························All the memory channels and settings are reset. (Preset channels cannot be reset.) To reset: Hold down the [FUNC/ENTER] key, and turn the power ON.
Cloning When using the clone function, all the settings of one DJ-X2 (master) can be copied to another DJ-X2 (slave). To operate the clone function: Turn OFF both DJ-X2s. Connect the earphone jacks on both master and slave DJ-X2s with the cloning cable.
