DHT-QUAD System
Frequency Band
Thank you for purchasing the DHT-QUAD wireless system. For users who need an advanced UHF wireless system, the DHT-QUAD provides an excellent solution. With 120 selectable channels, the DHT-QUAD is perfect for applications such as live shows, broadcast, meetings, musical instruments, etc. Touch buttons and liquid crystal displays allow for a quick and simple system setup. The User Guide and Quick Setting Guide included in your system will provide all the details you need to operate the system efficiently.
Most countries closely regulate the radio frequencies used in the transmission of wireless information. These regulations state which devises can use which frequencies, and help to limit the amount of RF (radio frequency) interference in all wireless communications. The DHT-QUAD offers 120 selectable channels within the 655-679MHz frequency range.
To facilitate system setup and protect against RF interference, each system comes with multiple predefined frequency groups and channels. When using a single receiver/transmitter, the operating frequency will generally not have to be changed. In an installation with multiple receivers/transmitters, each set must operate on a separate channel from the others. The group and channel system provides an optimum frequency spread when using multiple receiver/transmitter systems. Up to 4 DHT-QUAD units, providing up to 16 individual receiver/transmitter sets, may be used in a single installation.

Troubleshooting
Transmitter LCD off.
Turn on transmitter. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly.
Receiver LCD off. Make sure AC adapter is securely
plugged into electrical outlet and into DC input connector on rear panel of receiver.
Receiver indicates RF. Increase receiver volume.
Make sure Gain adjustment switch on the transmitter is set correctly (applies only to MBP76 Bodypack.)
Receiver indicates No RF, Transmitter LCD is on.
Make sure Transmitter and Receiver are set to the same frequency. Make sure Transmitter is in range of Receiver. Make sure no large metal objects are near Transmitter or Receiver.
The battery power indicator light on LCD flashes.
Change the batteries in transmitter.
Distortion or unwanted noise.
Receiver Indicates RF.
Remove nearby sources of RF inter­ ference (CD players, computers, in-ear monitor systems, etc.)
Distortion level increases gradually.
Sound level different from cabled guitar or microphone, or when using different guitars.
Adjust Transmitter Gain and Receiver Volume as necessary.
Transmitter power indicator light flashing on the LCD.
Replace Transmitter batteries.
Maintain a line of sight between transmitters and antennas. Avoid placing the receiver near metal surfaces or any digital equipment (CD players, computers, etc). Keep the receiver away from the wall and at least 1m from the ground. Cellular telephones and two-way radios can interfere with the operation of wireless systems. Do not use these devices in close proximity to the wireless systems.
