Two-Year Limited Warranty

CAD Audio hereby warrants that this product will be free of defects in material and workmanship for a
period of two years from the date of purchase. In the unlikely event that a defect occurs CAD Audio will,
at its option, either repair or replace with a new unit of equal or greater value. Retain proof of purchase to
validate the purchase date and return it with any warranty claim.

This warranty excludes exterior nish or appearance, damage from abuse, misuse of the product, use
contrar y to CAD Audi o’s instructions or unauthorized repair. All implied warranties, merchantab ility, or tnes s
for a particular purpose is hereby disclaimed and CAD Audio hereby disclaims liability for incidental, special
or consequential damages resulting from the use or unavailability of this product.

This warranty gives you specic legal rights and you may have other rights that vary from state to state.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential d amages or limi tations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.

Note: No other warranty, written or oral is authorized by CAD Audio.

Individuals with cardiac pacemakers and other similar medical devices should consult with their
physician before using any RF devices. Though the output level of this wireless system is below 50
milliwatt s, the proximity of the transmitter to the implant device could pose a threat.

As with any wireless product, environmental conditions can reduce or in some cases prohibit a
successful connection between the transmitter and the receiver.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Most users of CAD Audio wireless products in
the United States do not need a license for operation. However, the rules for unlicensed operation
state that this device must not cause harmful interference, and must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. Wireless products meeting CAD factory
standards adhere to these rules. The FCC reserves the right to change these rules at any time. For
more information contact the FCC at 1-888- CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL- FCC) or visit the FCC’s wireless
microphone website at:

www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner
avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas
produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Startup Guide

1. Install new high quality alkaline batteries into transmitter, observing proper polarity.

2. Power up receiver by holding power button for one second.

3. Hold the SET button for one second to unlock the receiver menu.

4. Hold the SCAN button for one second to activate the ScanLink

TM

environmental

frequency analysis, which automatically selects a clear operating frequency.

5. Turn on the transmitter by holding the power button for one second.

6. Open the battery compartment to reveal the IR node.

7. Press the LINK button (note the IR node will illuminate). Align the two IR nodes

(transmitter and receiver) at a distance of 4"-12" (ambient room light can affect
distance) for a few seconds while the receiver updates the transmitter. Your
system is now ScanLink'd.

Accessing Advanced Features (SET button)

All advanced features are accessed by holding the “SET” button for one second to
unlock the menu. Press the “SET” button to advance through menu items. Menu
items may be adjusted using arrow keys.

1. Manually Select Frequencies
GR (frequency group)
CH (channel)

2. Receiver Squelch Level
SQL (used to reduce sensitivity to competing RF by sacricing operating distance)

3. Transmitter Power
TX SET RF (higher power increases operating distance, lower power improves

simultaneous usage)

4. Transmitter audio gain
TX SET GAIN (lower gain may be used as needed for louder performers)

5. Receiver Output Volume
VOL (may be reduced if audio signal overloads mixer)
