the display showing the current status will be flashing and is ready to be modified. c. Press SET button to set dB value. -18dB ~ 30dB in 6dB increment d. Screen stops flashing and remains in the set state if not operated within 30 seconds. e. The higher the gains are set, the lower the dynamic range for signal input and the greater the danger of unwanted noises and feedback getting into the system. f. When using electronic guitar, gain should set at 0dB. g. Please make sure input signal strength does not exceed 2 Vrms (gain=6dB) as it is the maximum input strength allowed for transmitter without causing distortion. h. When the gain is set at -12dB or -18dB it stands up to 20Vp-p input signals. Signals cut off when it exceeds this level AF GAIN P00

Selection of NORM or INVER can be selected once the AF PHASE LCD starts blinking. b. Press SET button to select and set NORM or INVER. c. NORM: AF input is positive (positive polarity) INVER: AF input is negative (reverse polarity) d. Screen stops flashing and remains in the set state if not operated within 30 seconds. e. AF PHASE function provides users a phase selection for different condenser microphones. The normal setting is NORM, and INVER might be selected if two-wire condenser microphone is used. AF PHASE P00 NORM AF PHASE P00 INVER PHANTOM: Phantom Power a. Press the MODE button to select the PHANTOM screen, the LCD screen will start flashing in the current set state and is ready for change. b. Press the SET button to set OFF, 12V or 48V. c. The screen will stop flashing and remain in the set state if not operated within 30 seconds. d. PHANTOM is phantom power setting function, providing three selections: 12V or 48V or OFF, 12V or 48V is normally set for an external wired condenser microphone;
OFF is normally set for an external wired dynamic microphone. e. A general wired microphone with phantom power is allowed to use in 12V ~ 48V phantom power supply range. If it is determined that the phantom power wired microphone can operate at 12V, it is strongly recommended to be set to 12V, it reduces transmitter power consumption significantly & extends battery life. f. Phantom Power Status: P00 is turned off (OFF);
P12 indicates 12V phantom power; P48 indicates 48V phantom power. g. Maximum power supply of 10mA up to 48V phantom power usage. However, observe the total power consumption will increase significantly and battery life will therefore be reduced by 50% or more. PHANTOM P00 OFF PHANTOM P12 12V PHANTOM P48 48V 12 13 Digital Plug-on Transmitter Digital Plug-on Transmitter OFF... : Power Off 1. Press and hold power button for 2 seconds to power on & off. 2. When the power switch is turned off, the LCD will show OFF (for Power Off) first and then the system will shut down and no further messages will be displayed. OFF... SET LOCK: Setup and Change of Parameter Lock a. Press MODE button once for SET LOCK display. Once SET LOCK display starts blinking it is ready for selection. b. Press SET button for UNLK or LOCK selection. c. When locked (LOCK), receiver settings cannot be changed including the powering on &
powering off. To power off it needs to be in unlock mode (UNLOCK). d. A sudden lose of power will deactivate the LOCK Function. SET LOCK P00 UNLK SET LOCK P00 LOCK Battery Status Indicates the power remaining in the transmitter battery. When the battery has less than 10% power remaining it must be replaced or recharged. If an under voltage condition continues, the LCD will show OFF... and the system will shut down to prevent being overly discharged. 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 10%
14 15 Digital Plug-on Transmitter Digital Plug-on Transmitter ERR: Error Code If the LCD displays ERR after turning on the power, it indicates the operation is not correct. The error codes are as follows:
ROM-ER Transmitter does not have the initial data so the microphone is completely dead and cannot be programmed. ERROR1 Failure on RF circuitry, frequency cannot be programmed. NO-03 Frequency to be programmed into the transmitter exceeds the highest frequency of the designated frequency band of the transmitter. NO-04 Frequency to be programmed into the transmitter exceeds the lowest frequency of the designated frequency band of the transmitter.
**Note:
NO-03 and NO-04 will not change the transmitter's original frequency and the transmitter will still operate normally with the error message on display. To remove the error message from the display panel, please switch off the transmitter and switch it on again. MUTE (ON/OFF) 1. Light on : Muted. 2. Light off : Not Muted. 3.
