level.
Plug an au dio cable (not sup plied) into the 3 pin XLR or
8.
1/4 inch out put of the CSR-1000.
a. NOTE: The XLR con nector is the pre ferred con-
nection since the out put is balanced and will be
more immune to noise for longer runs of cable although either can be used with good results. If the
1/4 inch con nector is used, ad just the out put level
on the back panel to 12 o'clock (midway in the

The SOUND CHECK screen is designed to aid this test.
From the main dis play screen, press MENU twice (3 times
in user groups) to dis play the op tions screen. Scroll down
to Sound Check and press set. This Sound Check Screen
will be dis played:
a. The peak hold au dio me ter allows you to set the
transmitter gain as high as pos sible for the ap plication which max imizes the signal to noise ratio.
Sing, yell or play the in strument at the loud est de sired vol ume and adjust the gain on the meter.
b. The squelch break coun ter will tell you if you
are pushing the range or may have some in terference prob lems to contend with. Ideally this count
would be zero for the de sired performance area.
If there are sev eral squelch breaks while walking
the area, adjust antenna place ment or squelch as
in step 11 and re test. Pressing [UP] will turn on
an au dible tone that will sound each time the
count is in cremented. This tone can be sent to the
monitors or PA so the tester can hear when a drop
occurs and mark the lo cation on the stage.
Pressing [DOWN] turns the tone off.
Now refer ahead to transmitter setup and return to step 9
when that is com pleted.
With the transmitter on, speak into the microphone or play
9.
the instrument. Turn up the level on the mixer or amplifier
until you are able to hear the de sired sig nal. If no au dio is
present, re peat setup and re fer to the troubleshooting section.
NOTE: If the 1/4 inch out put is used, it may be nec essary
to ad just the re ceiver output un til the vol ume level from
the wire less sys tem ap proximates the level of an equiv alent wired mi cro phone/in stru ment.
c. The high/low RF me ter will tell you if you have
adequate coverage in the performance area. If the
RF level drops significantly dur ing a walk of the
de sired area, re po si tion the an ten nas, ad just the
squelch or change the chan nel and re test.
CAUTION: MUTE OR TURN DOWN THE MIXER OR
AU DIO AM PLI FIERS ETC. BE FORE AD JUSTING THE
SQUELCH. OPEN (MIN IMUM) SQUELCH CAN RE SULT IN LOUD WHITE NOISE OVER THE AU DIO
SYS TEM.
11. Squelch Ad just ment - The squelch setting can be used to
maximize range or immunity to noise. Turn the transmitter
off and from the re ceiver Options screen se lect Squelch
Adjustment and press SET. The current squelch setting
will be dis played, the set ting bar will flash and "Tones
Off" will be displayed (the tone coded por tion of the
squelch must be off in or der to no tice any changes in the
amplitude squelch setting). Ad just the squelch using the
UP/DOWN keys and walk test the unit. Maximum squelch
(all the way right) max imizes noise im munity but lim its
the range. Minimum squelch (all the way left) will max imize the range but al low more noise to break through the
squelch.

With bat tery compartment still open, turn the unit so you
2.
can see the display and the con trol panel. Turn the unit on
by sliding the power switch for ward to the on po sition.
The low battery LED will light for a second and the dis play will show the battery level, then the Group and Channel numbers.
3. Change the group and chan nel num bers to match those
displayed on the re ceiver by pressing SET. The Group
number will flash and can be changed with the UP/DOWN
keys. Once the de sired group number is show ing, press
SET to se lect and the Channel num ber will flash. Se lect
the Channel and press SET again, the flashing will stop
and the chan nel is now set.
4. Change Lock-Out. By pressing and holding the UP and
DOWN ar row keys to gether for 5 seconds, the SET key is
disabled. The MENU button still al lows dif ferent screens to
be dis played. To re activate the SET key, sim ply press and
hold the UP and DOWN keys again for 5 seconds.
NOTE: Operating with the transmitter audio gain set as high
as pos sible (without distortion or peaks all the way to the right
end of the meter) will result in the best performance and high est signal to noise ratio.
7. Trans mitting Power Ad just ment (if nec es sary).
CSH-1000 transmitter has two ra dio transmit power set tings. It is factory set in the NORM position, which will
maximize the number of simultaneous us ers and limit in terference with other wireless de vices. Switching to HIGH
power will maximize range for outdoor and single user ap pli ca tions.
8. In ter change able Mi cro phone Head. To re move the head,
grasp the handheld transmitter body in one hand and the
ballscreen as sembly in the other. Turn the ballscreen coun ter clock wise and un screw until the head is de tached. See
spec i fi ca tions and ac ces so ries for more in for ma tion on
avail able heads.

and Op eration - Step 9 to complete system set up and test.
The
5. Ver ify re cep tion With the trans mitter and receiver on and
matching Group and Chan nel, the main receiver display
should be in dicating a RF signal on the bar graph. Speak
into the microphone and the Au dio Meter bar graph should
indicate au dio signal presence. If the level meters do not
show re ception, make sure the chan nels are match ing and
refer to the trouble shooting section.
6. Adjustment of the trans mitter au dio gain - If necessary
The transmitter au dio gain is factory set at 1/3 of maximum range, which should be suitable for most applications. For loud or soft speakers/singers a gain adjustment
may be nec essary. Have the speaker or singer use the mi crophone in a nor mal performance level voice. The Au dio
Meter in the main receiver display screen should show
peaks around the -3dB level. If the meter peaks all the way
to the right or well be low the -3dB level, adjust the transmit ter au dio gain.
To ad just the transmitter gain, gently insert the provided
screwdriver (or other 3/32 in. screwdriver) into the adjustment hole op posite the dis play screen. Turn lightly un til
the screwdriver tip goes into the ad justment level con trol.
Gently turn counterclockwise un til the con trol stops (the
microphone out put is at minimum but not off). Slowly turn
the gain con trol up (clockwise) while speaking/singing
into the microphone and the au dio meter shows peaks
around -3 dB.
