Cables Make sure your cables are out of the way of performers, production crew, and audience so they will not trip over them. Sound Level Permanent hearing loss may be caused by exposure to extremely high noise levels. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified permissible exposures to certain noise levels. According to OSHA, exposure to high sound pressure levels (SPL) in excess of these limits may result in hearing loss. When using equipment capable of generating high SPL, use hearing protection while such equipment is under operation.

Line/Mic Selector: Use this switch to select whether the signal from the receivers output is line-level or microphone-level. Set this switch to Line if you are connecting it to a balanced line-level input (e.g., a mixers XLR or 1/4 TRS input) or an instrument amplifiers low-impedance active instrument input. Set this switch to Mic if you are connecting it to an instrument amplifiers high-impedance instrument-level input. 4. Squelch: Turn this knob to adjust the noise floor level. 5. Power Input: Use the included power adapter (12 V, 1 A, center positive) to connect this input to your power source. 7 Operation To set up and use your Radius 100, follow the steps in this chapter in order. If you are setting up a system using multiple receiver-transmitter pairs, set up each pair one at a time, and keep each pair powered on as you set up others. 1. Set Up the Receiver Optional: Connect Rackmount Pieces and/or Antennas To use two receivers in a standard 19 rack, use the included rackmount brackets, coupling brackets, and screws. Rackmount bracket Coupling bracket Receiver To use one receiver in a standard 19 rack, use two long rackmount brackets
(sold separately) and screws. Coupling bracket Receiver Rackmount bracket Long rackmount bracket Receiver Long rackmount bracket 8 Set Up the Receivers Connections, Mode, and Channel 1. Use the included power adapter to connect the receiver's power input to your power source. The receiver will power on automatically. 2. Use a standard XLR cable or 1/4 (6.35mm) to connect one of the receivers audio outputs to your mixer or amplifier system. Do not use both audio outputs at the same time; this can result in signal loss or increased noise. 3. Set the Line/Mic Selector to the appropriate setting:
Set this switch to Line if you are connecting it to a balanced line-level input (e.g., a mixers XLR or 1/4 (6.35mm) TRS input) or an instrument amplifiers low-impedance active instrument input. Set this switch to Mic if you are connecting it to an instrument amplifiers high-impedance instrument-level input. 4. Set the receivers channel using one of the following methods:
Manual Mode Important: Do not place two or more transmitters within range of the receiver when selecting a channel. Also, keep the transmitter at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the receiver. i. Use the receivers Up or Down buttons to select Manual Mode. (You must press and hold each button for approximately 1 second to switch to the next mode.) ii. Press and hold the Set button for approximately 1 second. The displays numbers will flash. iii. Use the Up/Down buttons to select a channel. iv. Press the Set button to lock the reception to that channel. Autoscan Mode Important: If you are setting up a system using multiple receiver-transmitter pairs, keep each pair powered on as you set up others. This will prevent each pair from automatically selecting the same channel. i. Use the receivers Up or Down buttons to select Autoscan Mode (Auto). (You must press and hold each button for approximately 1 second to switch to the next mode.) ii. Press and hold the Set button for approximately 1 second. The displays numbers will flash. iii. Press the Up or Down button once. The receiver will automatically scan frequencies and select the first channel with strong, clear reception. iv. Press the Set button to lock the reception to that channel. Preset Mode i. Use the receivers Up or Down buttons to select Preset Mode. (You must press and hold each button for approximately 1 second to switch to the next mode.) ii. Press and hold the Set button for approximately 1 second. The displays numbers will flash. iii. Use the Up/Down buttons to select a Preset group (P1, P2, P3, or P4). iv. Press the Set button to lock the reception to that Preset group. v. Use the Up/Down buttons to select a channel in that Preset group. vi. Press the Set button to lock the reception to a channel in that Preset group. Important: If there is any interference on the current Preset groups channels, repeat Steps iiivi. 9 2. Set Up the Transmitter Condenser Vocal Microphone Transmitter:
1. Remove the transmitters battery compartment cover and insert 2 AA batteries into the compartment. Make sure the polarities of the batteries (+ and ) are correct. 2. Reattach the battery compartment cover. 3. Press the transmitters Power Button for 4 seconds to power the transmitter on or off. Wireless Belt-Pack Transmitter:
1. Remove the transmitters battery compartment door and insert 2 AA batteries into the compartment. Make sure the polarities of the batteries (+ and ) are correct. 2. Press the transmitters Power Button for 2 seconds to power the transmitter on or off. 3. Synchronize the Receiver and Transmitter 1. Make sure the receiver and transmitter are within 3 feet (1 meter) from each other and powered on. 2. Press and hold the Sync button on the transmitter until Sync flashes in the receivers display. 3. Press the Sync button on the receiver. 4. Adjust Your Levels and Settings Gain Level: If you are using a wireless belt-pack transmitter, set its Gain Selector to 10 dB, 0 dB, or -10 dB to set the gain of the audio input. Volume Level: Use the receivers Volume Knob to set the audio signal level sent from the receivers audio output to your mixer or amplifier system. Squelch Level: Use the Squelch Knob to adjust the noise floor level, minimizing background or ambient noise during silent moments. Higher settings allow for greater noise reduction and dynamic range, but a setting thats too high can cause intentionally quieter sounds to be silenced along with the noise. Be sure to experiment with different settings to find an optimal balance. 10 Troubleshooting Problem Solution The receiver does not produce any sound. Make sure the receivers power adapter is properly connected to the power input and a power source. Make sure the transmitters batteries are properly inserted and that their polarities (+ and ) are correct. Make sure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency. Make sure the receivers audio output is properly connected to your mixer, amplifier system, etc. Make sure the receiver and transmitter are within 328 feet
(100 meters) and have a clear line of sight. Also, make sure the receiver is not immediately near any metal objects or devices that could cause RF interference (other wireless systems, TVs, radio, etc.). Lower the setting of the receivers Squelch knob. Make sure the receiver and transmitter are within 328 feet
(100 meters) and have a clear line of sight. Also, make sure the receiver is not immediately near any metal objects or devices that could cause RF interference (other wireless systems, TVs, radio, etc.). If you are using multiple transmitter-receiver pairs, make sure the pairs are not using the same or adjacent frequencies. Make sure the receiver is not immediately near any metal objects or devices that could cause RF interference (other wireless systems, TVs, radio, etc.). Lower the setting of the receivers Volume knob. There is audible interference in the transmission. The signal is distorted. 11
