1. RF Power Adjustments on your Transmitter RF power may be set to RF HI 30 mW nominal or RF LOW 10 mW nominal through the function menu The default setting is RF LOW While the High setting normally provides maximum operating range the Low setting will help extend battery life The Low setting may also be preferred in multichannel systems or when operating very close to the receiver to reduce the possibility of interference or receiver RF overload Audio Input Level Gain Adjustments on your Transmitter Correct adjustment of transmitter audio input receiver audio output and mixer amplifier input and output levels is important for best performance A 5 position audio input gain setting selected through the function menu allows you to match the audio input level to the transmitter for best modulation with minimum distortion The choices are 18 12 dB 6 dB 0 dB and 6 dB The default value is 6 dB Select the highest setting that does not result in over modulation with the highest audio instrument input levels an AF indication on the receiver no higher than 0 Using the Mute and Un Mute Functions on your Transmitter When the transmitter is muted it produces RF with no audio When the transmitter is un muted it produces both RF and audio To mute the transmitter cut off the audio but continue the RF output press and release the Power Mute button once The word MUTE will appear in the
