Quick set-up: System Operation

1.With the transmitter and receiver on, monitor the display screen. Note that the RF (1-100) Bar graph should indicate near the 100 mark. The AF Bar should show very little, if any, indica- tion until you talk or sing into the microphone. While talking or singing in the loudest voice used in performance, adjust the transmitter gain control if necessary to cause the AF Bar Graph to peak near -6 to -3 but not over +3 for best performance.

3.Talk or sing into the microphone or play the gui- tar at a normal volume. You should hear audio coming out of the system.

4.If using the unbalanced 1/4" output, you may have to adjust the gain (via the control next to the connector on the back panel) to match the level found when singing or playing with a wired connection.

"Quick Set-up" is now complete.
