ASSISTIVE LISTENING SYSTEM OPERATION
DIVERSITY WIRELESS BY ANCHOR AUDIO
Anchor Audio Assistive Listening Systems are 16 channel UHF diversity wireless systems.
Diversity wireless technology utilizes two independent antennae to receive signals. The diversity
feature means the receiver will process the stronger of the two antenna signals, effectively
minimizing dropouts and interference from other sources.
CHANNEL SELECTION
Before you can use your wireless system, you will need to select a wireless frequency and set
the receivers and transmitters you are using to that channel.
1. Choose from any of the available wireless channels: 1 thru 16
2. Set each receiver and transmitter to the channel you have chosen
NOTE: To operate the transmitter & receiver must be set to the same channel.
