User Interface
Pressing the “SETUP” button will select the setup mode. Rotate the “EDIT” knob to scroll
through the menu options. Press the “EDIT” knob while the desired option is highlighted
in the LCD to select it for editing. Rotate the “EDIT” knob to change the option then
press the knob to save the change.
1. Channel Select
When selected the channel number displayed will be the currently selected receiving
channel number. Push the encoder wheel and brackets will appear around the channel
number. Turn the encoder knob to scroll through the 12 channels. When you arrive at
the desired channel number, push the encoder knob to set it. The brackets disappear
indicating the change is complete. The receiver will not actually switch to the new
channel until the encoder knob is pushed. Press the EXIT button to exit editing

2. Find Open Chan
The “Find Open Chan” feature allows the user to determine what channels are available
for use and what channels already have Line 6 XD-V or Relay transmitters operating
on them. “TX” will appear above any channel number if it is occupied by an operating
Line 6 XD-V or Relay transmitter. You may turn the encoder to the right or left and the
underscore will follow. Place the underscore under any open channel, press the encoder
to set, and that channel will be selected from this screen.

3. Environmental Filter
The Environment filter combines a downward expander with a dynamic high pass filter.
It should be used to minimize handling noise and stage vibrations that are not intended
2•2
to be a part of your program material. When the microphone falls below a fixed threshold
the filter backs down the overall level by about 6 dB while simultaneously rolling off
frequencies below 200 Hz. “Norm” is the default setting for musical performance. The
filter may be bypassed entirely by selecting “off”, or may be increased by selecting “Talk”
which is more appropriate for speech applications of the system.
Front Panel LED Ladders
The XD-V70 receiver features an array of LED ladders so that critical performance
elements can be viewed when you are too far away to read the LCD screen.
Audio
This row shows the relative strength of the audio output. The more lights the stronger
the signal at the output connector. This ladder will be off when the system is muted. It
is normal in operation for these LEDs to move around between a single LED to all five
being on.
Mute
A red LED will signal that the mute switch has been engaged on the transmitter and
output to the rear panel output jacks will be turned off.
Battery
Each LED lit represents approximately 1.5 hours of remaining battery life when green. The
bottom LED will light red when approximately two hours of operating time or less remain,
and will flash red when approximately .5 hour remains. For more detailed information on
remaining batter life, please read the LCD screens on the transmitter or receiver.
XD-V70 Receiver
RF
These LEDs indicate Radio Frequency signal strength. When all five LEDs are lit green
the receiver is receiving full signal. As signal strength is diminished, LEDs will begin to
turn off. If you experience fewer than all five LEDs, one or more of the following steps
should be attempted:
• Antenna placement should be moved closer to transmitter
• Move transmitter closer to receiver
• Provide a clearer line of sight between transmitter and receiver
• Place transmitter into high power mode
• Utilize external antennas when receiver and transmitter positioning cannot be
improved
When no transmitter is turned on, these LEDs may light red indicating that there is some
non-Line 6 RF in the area. This is usually not a concern. When an XD-V transmitter
is turned on the receiver will lock to it and disregard the RF noise because of DCL™
technology.
Antenna Management
1. External Antennas
The XD-V70 system must be operated with external antennas. The supplied “rubber
duckie” antennas should be connected to the BNC connectors marked “Antenna A”
and “Antenna B” before operating. The user may wish to front mount the antennas by
installing the supplied BNC bulkhead connectors in the long rack ear when installing in
a rack. Connect the supplied antenna cables from the BNC terminals to the “Antenna
A” and “Antenna B” connectors on the rear panel. Optional Line 6 P180 or P360 paddle
antennas may be used in place of the standard “rubber ducky” antennas for increased
performance or when the receiver cannot be physically placed in a location within range
of the transmitter. See the Paddle antenna owner’s manuals for details.

2. Looping – Antenna Distribution System
If you are operating more than one system you may conveniently connect multiple receivers
to a single pair of antennas using XD-V70’s built-in antenna distribution system. After
attaching antennas to the primary receiver, simply use the supplied cables and connect
from the BNC connector marked “A Out” to the “Antenna A” input of the second unit.
Similarly, connect from the “B Out” on the primary unit to the “Antenna B” input on the
second receiver. You may continue this process connecting up to 12 systems total. For
