4. ClearScan: This feature automates the process of finding a clear channel.
a. To scan for the clearest channel in a group, press and hold until CLEARSCAN
appears in the display, then release the button.
b. When the scan is complete, the display will show the clearest available channel.
c. Use the SYNC button to transfer the new channel as in step 3.
5. During set up make sure the mixer or amplifier input used for the R300 is muted or turned down
to a minimum level.
6. Plug an audio cable (not supplied) into the 3 pin XLR or ¼-inch TRS output of the R300.
Note: The XLR connector is the preferred connection since the output is balanced and will be
more immune to noise for longer runs of cable although either can be used with good
results. Set the balanced output level on the back panel to 12 o’clock (midway in the
range) to start and adjust later if necessary. If the ¼-inch unbalanced output is used, start
with adjustment switch in the -10dB setting.
