QuickStart
If you’ve had some prior experience using wireless systems, these QuickStart instructions will get you up and running with your Wireless EarAmp® system in a matter of minutes! Detailed instructions for setting up and using your Wireless EarAmp® can be found on pages 8
1.Physically place the transmitter where it will be used, install its antenna, and extend it vertically.
2.Place a fresh battery in the receiver and turn it on momentarily to check it; the receiver’s Battery LED will light red if the battery is weak and needs to be replaced.
3.Turn off all audio equipment in your system and connect your mixer’s line, aux or cue outputs to the transmitter’s Main inputs. If you want to transmit additional signal, use the Aux and/or Daisy Chain inputs.
4.Connect the supplied AC adapter (don’t use substitutes!) to the DC Input on the rear panel of the transmitter (first looping the cable around the strain relief), then plug it into a
5.Set the Phones Level and Input Level controls on the transmitter to minimum (to the
6.Turn on the power to the receiver, place both of its antennas in an upright position, and set the Volume knob to minimum (fully counterclockwise). Do not place the earbuds in your ears yet.
7.Set the transmitter to either Group/Channel mode (by pressing the CH. button) or Frequency mode (by pressing the FREQ button). Group/Channel mode must be used whenever there are two or more transmitters being used in the same location.
7a. If in Group/Channel mode, use the Up/Down buttons to select a Channel. Press both the CH. and FREQ buttons simultaneously to enable Group selection (again, using the Up/Down buttons).
7b. If in Frequency mode, use the Up/Down buttons to select a frequency between 614.35 and 662.0 MHz, in 25 kHz increments.
8.To set the receiver to the same radio frequency, turn its Program switch off, then on (towards the “up” arrow) and then, within ten seconds, press and hold the transmitter’s Program button for at least three seconds. When correctly programmed, the receiver’s TX LED will flash.
9.Do a walkaround through the intended area of coverage while observing the receiver’s TX LED as you do so (it will light steadily green when receiving valid tone pilot signal). Reposition antennas or select a different Group/Channel or frequency as necessary.
10.Turn on your mixer and set the level of the signal you’re sending to the transmitter to unity gain
(0 vu). Then slowly raise the transmitter’s Input Level control while observing the level meters; the “0” segment should light frequently, the “+6” segment only infrequently. If you have signal connected to the Aux inputs, use a screwdriver to adjust the
11.Set the receiver’s 2 CH/Stereo mode switch as desired (see Appendix C for details). Connect the supplied earbuds (or
12.Adjust the receiver’s Balance control and Limiter Level, Bass and Treble trimpots as desired. If you’re operating at low signal levels, turning the loudness control on will help improve legibility. Close the battery door and clip the receiver to your belt.
