Press and hold the set and down arrows at the same time for 3 seconds and release to go to the next screen function. The next screen is the audio (microphone/instrument) level (attenuator) screen. Setting the levels correctly depends on the microphone or instrument used and the person using the microphone. Setting the attenuator to 0db is the same as setting a control to maximum gain. Setting the attenuator to 42 db is the same as setting a control to minimum gain. Each step of the attenuator equals 3 db. Setting the attenuator for the maximum Audio Meter reading on the receiver without peak distortion will produce the best signal to noise ratio. 10. The next screen is RF Power. The Transmit Power (RF) is shipped set to Lo for use with multiple frequency systems and the best battery life. Hi power can be selected for longer distances or to suppress noise or interference. The nominal power in Hi is 50 milliwatts. 11. The next screen is Voice or Guitar. The transmitter is shipped set to Voice. To select guitar when in the voice screen, press SET.
