Installation and starting up 4 Installation and starting up 4.1 General information Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively. Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off.
Installation and starting up Notes on wireless transmission n This device utilizes frequencies that are not harmonized within the European Union (EU) and therefore may only be used in certain EU member states. In all European countries, the frequencies used for the transmission of audio signals are strictly regulated. Before you start, make sure the frequencies are allowed in the respective country and check whether the operation must be reported to the appropriate authority.
Installation and starting up 4.2 Transmitter XLR connections for signal input on the transmitter XLR/1/4" combo sockets for signal input on the transmitter. Drawing and table indicate the XLR pin assignment (balanced wiring) as well as the pin assignment of a suitable 1/4" phone plug.
Installation and starting up Phone socket for headphones outlet Rack mounting 1 Signal 2 Ground, shielding Drawing and table indicate the pin assignment of a 1/4" TRS phone plug to be used. 1 Signal (left) 2 Signal (right) 3 Ground, shielding The unit has been designed for rack mounting in a standard 19-inch rack; it occupies one rack unit.
Installation and starting up Connecting the operating supply voltage NOTICE! External power supply The device is powered by an external power supply. Before connecting the external power supply, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly the user.
Installation and starting up Mounting the antenna Attach the included antenna to the back of the transmitter. To improve the transmission quality and for adaptation to the specific spatial conditions the antenna can be rotated and swivelled. If there is not enough space for the direct mounting of the antenna on the unit, e.g. due to limited space in the rack, you can use the supplied coaxial cable to mount the antenna apart from the unit. Therefore use the BNC adapter.
Installation and starting up 4.4 Taking the system into operation n Make sure that the receiver is switched off, the main switch (14) is set to the ‘OFF’ position. n Attach the receiver with the clip to your belt or guitar strap. n Insert the earplugs into the ear canal carefully and observe the markings ‘L’ and ‘R’ for left and right sides. n Turn the transmitter and the receiver on and test the transmission.

Press the [SET] button to confirm the setting and proceed to the next menu item.
Troubleshooting 7 Troubleshooting In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.
Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy No sound 1. Check the power supply of the transmitter and receiver. 2. Make sure that both transmitter and receiver operate in the same frequency range and that the transmitting antenna is designed for this frequency range. The frequency range is stated on the devices. 3. Are both transmitter and receiver set to the same frequency group and the same channel? 4. Check the connection between the transmitter and the connected audio device (amp, mixer).
Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy 2. If you use more than one wireless system at the same time, check the used frequency groups and channels. 3. Interference can also be caused by televisions, radios or mobile phones. The sound is distorted. Change the ‘INPUT LEVEL’ control setting on the transmitter. If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
