1:Antenna - This swivel mounting allows full rotation for optimum placement of the antenna. In normal operation, the antenna should be placed in a vertical position. It can be folded inward for convenience when transporting the AR1. See the “Setting Up and Using Your AirLine System” section on page 17 in this manual for more information about antenna positioning.

2:Power On / RF LED - This lights red whenever the AR1 is powered on and green whenever the AR1 is receiving RF signal from a transmitter.

3:Peak LED - This LED lights red when output signal from the AR1 is at the onset of clipping (that is, when it is on the verge of being distorted). If you see this light during operation, move the microphone further away or lower the volume level of your instrument or transmitter. For more information, see the section entitled “Setting Up and Using

Your AirLine System” on page 17 in this manual.
