1.INTRODUCTION

1.1 Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the MIDIjet Pro USB Wireless MIDI System. We have designed this product with high-grade
components to ensure a solid, wireless connection that will take you to a new level of performance.

We inv it e y ou to vi si t www.midijet.com or to call us at 905-475-1263 (9:30am to 5:30pm E.S.T) with questions or
comments regarding your MIDIjet Pro USB system. We value your feedback for product improvement. However, we also
love hearing your stories of how you’re using your MIDIjets. Let’s just say that hearing the stories makes what we do seem
even more worth it and gives us ideas for how to make even better products.

1.2 Applications

MIDIjet is designed to replace standard MIDI cables in situations where cables restrict performer mobility, are visually
unpleasant, or awkward to connect.

In live performance environments, MIDIjet Pro allows you to get off stage and interact with your fans. Sure it gets rid of
cables and all that but it’s really about you and your fans having more fun during the show. It’s also about making life easier
for your techs and roadies during setup and teardown.

Lighting applications and syncing DAWs with other software is a great new area where MIDIjet is used now. The built-in
USB interfaces makes it easy to connect computer to computer.

If these applications need MIDI traffic in both directions, all you need is to use the USB connection or to use a bi-directional
MIDI cable in the MIDI Jack.

Drum triggers in live shows are another area great way to use MIDIjet Pro.

MIDI enabled front of house consoles use MIDIjet Pro to connect to gear on stage or to mix remotely.

Recording and TV studios use MIDIjet Pro to get MIDI from room to room (or between floors) without running cables.

Run your patch switching cross-stage without having cables to trip over.

Transmitter

1) Power Selector Switch - When in the “Batt” position, the unit is powered by batteries only. When in “Adapt/ Off &
USB” position, the unit is powered by the USB port or via the power adapter input. If there is no power coming from
either the USB port or the adapter input, then the unit will be turned off.

2) Antenna Mount - Attach the provided antenna here.

3) Power Indicator Light - When the unit receives power and is working properly, this light will blink green once per
second. If this light is blinking green and red, that means the unit is in bind mode. If you intend for it to be in bind mode,
then proceed. If you accidentally put it in bind mode, just switch the units off, use the dip switches to switch the unit(s) to
the same channel out of bind mode, and turn the units back on. They should connect normally after that.

When the power gets low, this light will start to blink red. This means there is about 1/2 hour of power left in the batteries.

4) Connect Indicator Light - Under normal operation, this light will blink yellow about 3 times per second on both units if
they have a connection. Under heavy MIDI traffic, this light may blink much faster.

5) Transmitter MI DI Ja ck - Connect a regular MIDI cable from the MIDI Out Jack on your MIDI
controller to the MIDIjet Pro transmitter’s MIDI jack. On this black transmitter, pins 4 and 5 are for
MIDI In and pins 1 and 3 are for MIDI Out. Pins 1 and 3 only matter if you are trying to achieve 2­way MIDI traffic. For 1-way MIDI traffic, just use a regular MIDI cable.

6) Receiver MIDI Jack - Connect a regular MIDI cable from the MIDI Jack on your MIDI jet Pro
receiver to the MIDI In jack on your MIDI device. On this black transmitter, pins 4 and 5 are for
MIDI Out and pins 1 and 3 are for MIDI Im. Pins 1 and 3 only matter if you are trying to achieve 2­way MIDI traffic. For 1-way MIDI traffic, just use a regular MIDI cable.

7) Detachable Hinged and Swiveling Antenna - The antenna is a Taoglas 2.4Ghz 2 DBI hinged dipole
antenna.

8) Belt Clip Mounting Hole - MIDIjet Pro transmitter pack is pre-drilled to be compatible with the provided belt clip or
with the a ULX1 body pack wire belt clip.

9) USB B Connector - This USB port provides MIDI In/Out on both transmitter and receiver. It uses the same standard,
generic MIDI driver that many MIDI interfaces use. It is both OS X and Windows compatible. Both the transmitter and
receiver function as USB Devices rather than as “hosts”. So, to be used, the MIDIjet will need to be plugged into a USB
host like a computer USB port or an iConnect MIDI™ interface to interface with mobile iOS devices.

When a USB cable is plugged into the socket, the MIDIjet Pro’s input/output switches to the USB port and disables the
MIDI jack. The unit can then either be powered by the USB bus or by batteries using the power selector switch.

The USB connector is also for updating firmware should that need arise.

10) Power Adapter Socket - MIDIjet Pro can use a 2.1mm, center-positive switching adapter from 5V - 9V with 200mA or
more. For an analog, non-switching power supply, use an adapter between 7V - 9V.

11) Battery Holder - MIDIjet Pro uses 2 x AA batteries. These batteries can be either disposable or rechargable. Regular

1.5V alkaline batteries will last more than 20 hours in the transmitter. They will not last as long in the receiver. The
performance of rechargable batteries varies widely with the voltage and the capacity of the battery. Some high capacity
rechargables can last longer than disposable ones.

12) Dip Switches - The dip switches are used for setting channels of each unit. Always make sure both the transmitter and
receiver are set to the same dip switch setting when both are powered up. Also use the dip switches to put the unit in “bind
mode”, “interface mode”, “unbound mode”, and “firmware update mode”
