Operating Instructions

Powering the Receiver

Slide the receiver’s battery cover open and place a fresh 9V battery in the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (1), observing the correct polarity. (Although a fresh alkaline battery can last up to 8-10 hours in use in the receiver, in order to ensure optimum performance it is recommended that the receiver battery be replaced after 5 hours use.) Turn the receiver on by rotating the ON/OFF/VOLUME WHEEL (2) clockwise. The LOW BATT LED (3) will flash briefly, indicating adequate battery strength. If the LOW BATT LED lights during use, replace battery.

Antenna

When the system is in use, the 351 VR receiver’s standard wire Antenna should be fully extended to obtain maximum range. You may also install Nady’s optional rubber duck or flexible rubber duck antenna. They all simply screw into the ANTENNA SOCKET (4) on top of the receiver.

Mute Adjustment

In normal operation, the MUTE CONTROL (5) on the back of the receiver should be set fully clockwise to the factory preset RF level of 1 µV. However, in areas of high RF activity, the mute may need to be adjusted. If, with transmitter off, the receiver’s “TX” LED (6) flickers or stays on, the MUTE control should be turned counter clockwise until the “TX” LED extinguishes.

When the mute is properly adjusted, the “TX” LED will light only when the system transmitter is turned on. Note: Turning the MUTE control too far counter clockwise will yield a quieter mute function, but reduce your operating range.
