System Operation

MGT-16 Wireless Instrument Receiver

Antennas

The MGT-16 receiver is supplied with Dual Antennas (9) attached. They should be extended fully to obtain maximum range. The optimal positions of the antennas are

45 degrees from the receiver and 90 degrees from each other. For maximum range, it is always best to maintain a line-of-sight (no obstructions) between the receiver antennas and the transmitter whenever possible.

Powering the Receiver

The MGT-16 receiver can operate with either two AA size batteries (DC operation) or with the supplied AC adaptor (AC operation).

For DC operation, open the receiver’s Battery Compartment Door (6) and place two fresh AA batteries in the battery compartment, observing the correct polarity. Two fresh alkaline or NiMH AA batteries will generally provide 6-8 hours performance, but in order to ensure optimal performance

it is recommended that the batteries be replaced after six hours of use, or as indicated by the Low Battery Indicator (11). As the batteries begin to weaken below usable voltage, the low battery indicator will light up continuously, warning that the batteries are now too low and should be replaced as soon as possible. To preserve battery life, keep the receiver Off when it is not in use.

For AC operation, power the receiver with the supplied AC Power Adaptor (16). Plug the adapter’s barrel plug into the DC Input Jack (8) on the back of the receiver, then plug the adapter into an AC outlet.

AC operation of the MGT-16 receiver is the same as DC operation except that the Low Battery Indicator is inactive when the AC adapter is connected.

Note: When the AC adapter is used, the installed batteries are automatically disconnected internally and are not operational. The AC adapter only
