Power Up ProcedurePress on/off button to turn unit on. LEDs will cycle blue-red-blue on powerup sequence.Once unit is powered on the unit will display current channelnumber with a blue LED and battery life with a red led by continuously toggling between the two LEDs.As the user inputs audio into the unit the LEDs automatically become anaudio level indictor where blue LEDs are displayed from left to right as the audio level increases. LED #5 will light red during audio display if the units input reaches a maximum level. After a few seconds pause in audio input the unit switches back to channel/batterydisplay mode.Channel SelectionThere are 5 different frequency channels which you can choose to transmit and receive data, they are labeled 1-5 on both transmitter andreceiver. In order to operate on any one of these channels, you must haveboth the transmitter and receiver on the same channel number. In order tochange the transmit frequency push the channel button, the unit will thenincrement and display the channel number with a blue LED each time theuser presses the button down. Continue this until the desired channel number is reached. The unit will then go back to the toggling LED mode to display battery life andchannel number.Transmitter Battery MeteringThe battery is displayed on the tranmitter as follows: LED #5 (furthest tothe right looking at the front of the unit) means 5hrs or greater of batterylife remaining. As the battery expires the unit will change the red leds to #4 for 4hrs, #3 for 3hrs, etc.. Once the unit has less than 1hr left of batterylife the #1 LED will then blink at a high rate until the battery expires. Thisalerts the user to the need of battery replacement.Power Down ProcedureTo turn the unit off press and hold the on/off switch until the LEDs flash a red/blue alternating pattern then release the on/off button. The unit will then power down. all LEDs off indicate powerdown is complete.Connecting the SystemPlug your instrument into the transmitter with the provided cable. Next, connect the output of thereceiver to the input of your effects pedal, amplifier, recording device, etc.. When using a standard1/4” (mono) cable, the receiver will output audio signal optimized for instrument applications. Whenusing a stereo 1/4” (TRS) cable, the tip sends instrument out, the sleeve sends full-bandwidth sig-nal. This can be used as a “tuner out” or “direct out” for interfacing with a variety of devices.PLEASE NOTE: when using “full bandwidth” for typical instrument/amplifier setups there will be anoticeable increase in high frequency response. High frequencies are not boosted by the system,rather, they are allowed to “pass through”. Setting Up Your Transmitter4
Power Up ProcedurePress on/off button to turn unit on. LEDs will cycle blue-red-blue on powerup sequence. Once unit is powered on the unit will display current channelnumber with a blue LED and battery life with a red led. The unit will automatically scan for your digital RF signal. This is indicatedby the blue LEDs cycling back and forth 1-5 then 5-1. After each cycle, theunit will stop on the current red batt life LED then blink the current bluechannel LED. The unit will stay in this mode until a transmitter is turned on and transmitting on thesame channel. Once the link is established and the receiver is receiving data, the unit will displaycurrent channel number with a blue LED and battery life with a red LED by continually togglingbetween the two LEDs.As the user inputs audio into transmitter and sends it to the receiver unit, the LEDs on the receiverbecome an audio level indictor. Blue LEDs are displayed from left to right as the audio level increases. LED #5 will light red during audio display if the unit’s input reaches a max level. After a few seconds pause in audio input the unit switches back to channel/battery display mode.Channel SelectionThere are 5 different frequency channels whichyou can choose to transmit and receive data,they are labeled 1-5 on both transmitter andreceiver. In order to operate on any one of thesechannels, you must have both the transmitter andreceiver on the same channel number. In order tochange the receive frequency, push the channelbutton. The unit will then increment and display the channel number with a blue LED each time theuser presses the button down. Continue this until the desired channel number is reached. The unitwill then go back to the mode displaying battery life and channel number.Receiver Battery Meteringthe battery is displayed on the receiver as follows: LED #5(furthest to theright looking at the front of the unit) means 5hrs or greater of batt liferemaining. As the battery expires the unit will change the red LEDs to #4for 4hrs, #3 for 3hrs, etc.. Once the unit has less than 1hr left of battery lifethe #1 LED will then blink at a high rate until the battery expires. Thisalerts the user to the need of battery replacement.Power Down ProcedureTo turn the unit off press and hold the on/off switch until the LEDs flash a red/blue alternating pattern then release the on/off button the unit will then power down. all LEDs off indicate powerdown is complete.Setting Up Your Receiver5
Multi-system OperationUp to five systems can operate simultaneously. In situations where it is necessary to have more thanone person wireless, each transmitter and receiver combination must be set to the same channel. Setthe first system to transmit and receive on channel “one”, the second system to transmit and receiveon channel “two”... and so on.DigiScan™ Special Receiver Power Up ModeWhile holding down the channel select button on the receiver, push the on/off button and release.Continue to hold the channel select button until the LEDs are all solid red. Then release the channelselect button. The unit will now do a RF scan on all 5 frequencies. While in this mode the receiverwill continue to scan and report. If the channel has no RF signal then a blue LED will light for thecorrosponding channel number. If there is currently RF in the channel the LED will be red. BlueLEDs mean channel is clear red means the channel is not clear. To enter regular operating modepush and hold down the on/off button until the unit enters the normal mode.Optimizing Your Wireless PerformancePlace the receiver on or near the desired amplification system, pedalboard or with your effects ped-als. FOR BEST RESULTS, PLACE RECEIVER HIGH ABOVE ANY OBSTRUCTIONS, as the sys-tem works best when transmitter and receiver are in line of sight.
