Quick Start 5. Plug receiver into audio system 6. Press Select button to change In order for your wireless system to work correctly, both the receiver and transmitter must be set to the same channel. Follow this basic procedure for setting up and using your AirLine 88 Headset wireless system: Physically place the CR88 receiver where it will be used, and extend the antennas vertically.
FREQ: 542-566MHz interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Quick Start Position the transmitter about 6-12” (15-30 cm) from the front of the CR88 with the transmitter’s IR window facing the IR transmitter on the front panel of the CR88 receiver. Press and hold the CR88 SELECT button to set the transmitter to the same channel as the receiver via infrared transmission.
Quick Start If you hear distortion at the desired volume level, check to see whether the PEAK Indicator LED on the receiver is lighting RED. If it is not lit, make sure that the gain structure of your audio system is set correctly (consult the owners manual of your mixer and/or amplifier for details). If the PEAK Indicator on the receiver lights RED, it may be as simple as moving the microphone further from your mouth.
Charging the AH8 Transmitter 1. Snap in place the appropriate mains connector plug into the adapter. 2. Insert the magnetic power cable to the included USB AC plug (or any 5-volt DC adapter that has a USB port). Insert the AC plug into an electrical outlet. 3. Place the AH8 transmitter on a flat surface. 4. Attach the magnetic connector to the gold contact power port on the bottom of the AH8 transmitter. The cable attaches to the port magnetically.
Wearing the AH8 Transmitter The AH8 can be re-sized to fit comfortably on your head. The correct way to wear your AH8 Headset transmitter is over the ears, as you would wear a pair of eyeglasses. Because the AH8 Headset is specially designed to be used up close, be sure to position the microphone near the corner of your lips. To avoid feedback problems, take care not to cover the mic capsule with your hand. Position the AH8 over your head so that the body of the transmitter is behind your head.
