Three gain settings are available on the PGX1. Choose the appropriate setting for your instrument.

•mic: Microphone (higher amplification)

Multiple System Setup

Use the following steps to ensure the best performance when installing multiple wireless systems at the same lo-

cation.

1. Turn all receivers on and all transmitters off.

Note: Turn on any other digital equipment that could cause interference during the performance so it will be de-

tected during the frequency scans in the following steps.

2. Make sure the group number is the same for all receivers (see Manual Group Selection).

3. Perform a scan using the first receiver.

4. Turn on the first transmitter and sync it to the receiver.

5. Repeat for each system.

◦Important: After syncing each transmitter, leave it on so that scans from the other receivers will not select

that channel.

◦Be sure only one transmitter IR port is exposed when synchronizing each system.

Manual Channel and Group Selection (receiver only)

Using the receiver to scan for a channel is the best way to find the best frequency for your system. However, for

multiple system setup, you may need to manually set the group number.

1. Press and hold the channel button.

2. Hold the button until the channel or group display begins flashing.

3. Release and press the button again to advance the setting. At the desired channel or group number, wait for

the flashing to stop. This activates the new setting.

4. Transfer the new frequency setting to the transmitter using the automatic sync function.
