Receiver Controls and Connectors

① audio LED

Indicates strength

of incoming audio

signal: green for

normal, amber for

strong and red for

clipping.

② LED Screen

Displays group and

channel setting.

See “Single System

Setup” for details.

③ channel button

Changes group and

channel setting.

See “Single System

Setup” for details.

④ ready LED

Indicates system ready and receiving

an RF signal from the transmitter.

Also indicates battery level of the

transmitter:

• Green = transmitter battery level

normal

• Red = low battery (typically less

than 60 minutes with alkaline

batteries)

Note: with NiMH rechargeable batter-

ies, when the indicator turns red there

will be little to no remaining life.

⑤ Infrared (IR) port

Sends IR signal to

transmitter for sync.

⑥ sync button

Press to

synchronize

transmitter with

receiver group

and channel

settings.

Wearing the Bodypack Transmitter

Clip the transmitter to a belt or slide a guitar strap

through the transmitter clip as shown.

For best results, slide the transmitter until the belt is

pressed against the base of the clip.

Adjusting Gain

Handheld Transmitter

Access the gain switch by unscrewing the head of

the microphone.

Use the tip of a pen or a small screwdriver to move

the switch.

• 0dB: For quiet to normal vocal performance.

• –10dB: Use only if audio is distorted due to high

vocal levels.

PGXD

Batteries

• A fresh set of alkaline batteries lasts up to 10

hours (9 hours, PGXD2).

• The transmitter LED and the receiver ready

LED glow red to indicate low battery (typically

less than 60 minutes remaining).

• NiMH rechargeable batteries may be used.

However, the low battery indicator functions

differently. When it turns red, there may be little

to no remaining life.

• When the LED flashes red, the batteries must

be replaced to power on the transmitter.

PGXD

Bodypack Transmitter

The bodypack has 26 dB of audio gain

adjustment.

• Increase gain (clockwise +) for microphones

• Decrease gain (counterclockwise –) for guitars

or high-output instruments

For best audio quality, set transmitter gain so the audio

LED on the receiver flickers green and amber during the

performance. Decrease gain if the signal clips (LED turns

red).

Note: The amber LED may appear to be red when

viewed at an angle. For best results, monitor the LED

from directly in front.

Single System Setup

Scan

Use the scan feature on the receiver to

find a clear channel.

with the least interference

Synchronize

Synchronize the transmitter to the receiver by aligning the

infrared (IR) ports and pressing the sync button. Make sure

the IR ports are closely aligned.

After a successful sync, the transmitter LED momentarily

flashes red and the receiver ready light illuminates.

Multiple System Setup

NOTE: This wireless system may be affected by RF inter-

ference when used in proximity to other wireless devices

such as cordless phones, baby monitors, and two-way ra-

dios. For best results, use the scan and sync feature before

each use or if you experience problems.

Use the following steps to ensure the best performance when installing multiple wire-

less systems at the same location.

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 detected 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.

Compatible Frequencies

When operating multiple systems simultaneously, choose one group from the following

table and set all systems to different channels within that group.
