Instructions

The frequency of the mic must rst be set to the same frequency of the receiving PA in order for
the Q316 to function. The following are instructions to change the frequency of the microphone.

1. Unscrew the battery cover, insert the 9V battery and then reinstall the battery cover

2. Turn on the power by moving the power switch to the “up” position. The display will
automatically show the previous group and channel setting prior to being turned o.

3. To adjust the Group Number, depress the group button for 3 seconds or until its LCD number
begins to ash. Once ashing, release the group button and the group number can now
be changed. Pressing it again moves the number UP and pressing the channel button
moves the group number DOWN.

4. To adjust the Channel Number, depress the channel button for 3 seconds or until its LCD
number begins to ash. Once ashing, release the channel button and the channel number
can now be changed. Pressing it again moves the number DOWN and pressing the group
button moves the channel number UP.

5. After adjusting the Group or Channel numbers, release all buttons. The group or channel
will ash for 3 seconds and will then stop, indicating the frequency is now locked and
saved into memory.

• The LCD will display the available battery power if no buttons are pushed after 30 seconds.
Briey pressing either the group or channel buttons will change the LCD display to showing

the Group and Channel numbers.

• If the LCD display shows “LO”, it means the battery power is nearly exhausted and the

battery needs replacing within the next three minutes. If the battery is not replaced within
three minutes, the microphone will stop working.

• Remove the battery from the microphone if the microphone will not be used for an

extended period of time.

• A note about feedback – do not stand within 10’ of the front of a PA with the wireless mic on.

The mic will pick up sounds from the PA and this begins the cycle resulting in feedback. Stand
either further away from the PA, to the side, or behind it to avoid this condition.
