FCC warning statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 74 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference in a installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by manufacturer could void your authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with part 74 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

For better operation the transmitter should be at least 3ft. (1m) above the ground and at least 3ft. away from a wall or metal surface to minimize reflections. Keep antennas away from noise sources such as computer, digital equipment, motors, automobiles and neon lights, as well as away from large metal objects. Attached a UHF antenna to the antenna input jacks, the antenna are normally positioned in the shape of a V (in 45from vertical) for best transmission. Keep open space between the receiver and transmitter for better reception. The transmitter should be at least 6ft. (2m) from the receiver. Connections:
The switching power supply is designed to operate properly from any DC power source 12V, 500mA without user adjustment. Simply connect the transmitter to a standard DC power outlet, using only an IEC-
type input cordset approved for the country use. Power to the unit is controlled by the front panel power switch. There are two audio inputs on the rear panel: 1/L and 2/R audio INPUTS. It is suitable for an XLR balanced audio input connector and a 1/4 (6.3mm) unbalanced phone jack input connector. The two audio inputs permit simultaneous feeds from two different outputs. Use the appropriate shielded audio cable for connections between the transmitter and the output(s) of the mixer or other audio output equipment.
