The LED lights green or turns off, depending

on the SQL control setting.

Note:

When using the MC-90 microphone with the MJ-88 in FM

mode, select “3” (High) for the microphone gain. The microphone

sensitivity is low in FM mode. This may cause insufficient

modulation. For other microphones, select either “1” (Normal) or “2”

(Medium).
