Frequency Band
Most count ries 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 frequ ency) interferenc e in all wireless communications. The DHTRQUAD offers 120 selectable channels within either the 584­607MHz (Code D) or 655-679MHz (Code L) frequency ranges.
To facilitate system setup and protect against RF interference, each system comes wit h m u l t i p l e pr e d e f i n e d f r e q u e n c y gr o u p s an d ch a n n e l s . W h e n u s i n g a s i n g l e receiver/transmitter, the operating fr equency will generally not have to be changed. In an installation with mu ltiple receivers/tr ansmit ters, each set must operate on a separate channel from the other s. The group and channel system provides an optimum frequency spread when using multiple receiver/transmitter systems.

Group and Channel Selection: Press and Hold the SET button. The Group number will flash. Press or to choose the appropriate frequency group, as shown on the left ; press (SET) again , (CHANNEL) flashes, press or to choose the appropriate channel, as shown on the left . For best results when operating multiple systems, set all systems to a single group: then set each system to a unique channel within that group.
Receiver Volume Setting:
The receiver has an electronic volume control. When in the normal display, press or to control the output volume (64 steps total) as shown at left.
Normal Display:
Volume and Frequency, as shown at left . LED columns to the left of the LCD display show RF & AF Levels.
Automatic Transmitter Setup:
Once the desired channel is set on the Receiver, you may allow the Transmitter channel to be set automatically. Note: only one Transmitter may used with each Receiver.
Turn on the Transmitter. Position the Transmitter IR window directly in front of the Receiver IR window. The IR window of the MBP76 Body Pack is located under the battery door while the IR window of the HH64 Handheld is located at the bottom end of the mic body. Press the ASC Button on the Receiver. The ASC Icon will flash in the Receiver LCD. The RF Meters will light when the synchronisation is complete. The Group and Channel number of the Receiver should now be displayed in the Transmitter LCD.
With the HH64 turn on the transmitter after pressing the ASC button.
Note: The Transmitter must be within half a meter distance from the Receiver during IR ASC automatic channel setting.
HH64 and MBP76 Transmitter Status Display
Battery Status:
Battery Status Indicators for both the Handheld and Body Pack Transmitters feature Four Level Displays as shown in .
Group and Channel Display:
After completing the ASC, both the Handheld and Body Pack Transmitters will display the Group and Channel numbers selected as shown in .
Normal Display:
Both Handheld and Body Pack Transmitters will display Group and Channel numbers as well as Battery Status as shown in .

Setting up multiple receivers
Setting up multiple receivers
1) Power on any pre-existing wireless systems and transmitters except the first DHT system.
2) Power on the first DHT Receiver.
3) The Control and set buttons are on the front of the receiver.
4) Press the set button until the group number flashes on the LCD screen
5) Press the up/down buttons to select group 1.
6Press the set button twice to get to the scan mode.
7) Press the up or down button. The unit will now go into scan mode. You will probably see the RF meters light up if the scan sees other transmitters.
8) When it stops scanning, it will stop on the clearest frequency, and will be flashing the frequency on the LCD screen.
9) Press the set button and it will set itself to that frequency. Do not wait to press the set button as the DHT Receiver will revert back to the original frequency, and the process will need to be restarted
10) If the unit cannot find a good frequency within group 1, start the process again scanning group 2, if that is also not clear try group 3, and so on till you get a good frequency.
When the DHT Receiver has been set to a clear frequency, use the ASC feature to sync the receiver frequency to the transmitter.
11) Turn the transmitter on, aim the red infrared window on the transmitter towards the one on the receiver and press the ASC button on the front of the receiver. The transmitter will sync to the receivers frequency.
If you have more DHT systems to tune follow the same procedure on each one, always leaving the previous system transmitter on.

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.
