ENGLISH ENGLISH CHANGING THE TRANSMITTER SETTINGS Adjusting the Transmitter Gain Level The U1, U2, UC1 and UC2 transmitter audio gain level has been factory preset to provide satisfactory output in most applications, and it will probably not need to be adjusted for most microphone applications. However, for loud talkers, the preset level may be too high, as indicated by a constant glow of the red audio LED on the receiver.
ENGLISH ENGLISH TIPS FOR ACHIEVING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE • Maintain a line of sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas. • Use the proper receiver antennas. • Do not obstruct the receiver antennas. • Avoid operating near metal objects. • Never use two transmitters set to the same frequency concurrently. • Keep distance between transmitter and receiver as short as possible.
